Abstract: A method for facilitating the identification of suitable object-wiping material and dispenser (10) therefor. The method includes the steps of: providing a questionnaire (50) with a plurality of questions (52, 54, 56), at least one (52, 56) of the plurality of questions relating to user requirements of the object-wiping material and at least a further (54) of the plurality of questions relating to the work situation of the user; providing for each question an exhaustive list of possible answers from which the user is to select at least one, and depending on the selected answers, providing a recommendation (58) of the type of object-wiping material and dispenser most suited to that user's needs.

Abstract: A wiping material system including a plurality of dispensers (10) of different shapes and/or sizes, the dispensers each having at least a first (12) and a second component (14) which are visible to a user. To assist in recognizing the fact that the dispensers of different sizes are all dispensers, the first component (12) is of a colour distinct from the second component (14) and the colour of the first component and the colour of the second component are identical for all dispensers (10) of the plurality of dispensers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a recessed frame for supporting at least one fixture in a wall opening, wherein one such fixture may be for instance a dispenser for paper. The frame comprises a first sub frame having spaced apart wall members defining an opening; the first sub frame having first flange members for mounting the first sub frame flush with a wall surface surrounding the wall opening. The frame further comprises a second sub frame having the same geometric configuration as said first sub frame, at least one section of said second sub frame being arranged to telescope with respect to said first sub frame. The second sub frame may be arranged for adjustable positioning relative to the first sub frame by means of said telescoping relationship with respect to the wall surface surrounding the said wall opening. The fixture is releasably attached to the second sub frame. Releasable securing means are provided for locking the first and second sub frames relative to each other in a predetermined position.

Abstract: Disclosed is electronic equipment (e.g., a mobile telephone) and method directed to electronic equipment having an improved electronic mail (E-mail) application for transmitting and/or sending E-mail messages based on one or more characteristics of the E-mail message (e.g., file size). In one embodiment, the user implements a network communication priority list in which the E-mail application utilizes to transmit/receive E-mail messages. In another embodiment the user may specify that E-mail message below a certain threshold value be transmitted through a first communication network (e.g. cellular telephone network) and a second communication network (e.g. LAN/WLAN network) when the E-mail messages are above the threshold limit.

Abstract: A process for catalyzing asymmetric dihydroxylations of olefins employs an Os(VI) complex as a catalytic intermediate in the formation of chiral vicinal diol products. The process requires a chiral bidentate ligand that favors diol formation in the “second cycle” of asymmetric dihydroxylation.

Abstract: An actuator for an inhaler for delivering medicament by inhalation, comprising: a housing (14) for receiving a canister (8) comprising a body (10) which defines a chamber containing medicament and a valve stem (12) which extends from the body (10); a nozzle block (18) for receiving the valve stem (12) of the canister (8); a mouthpiece for providing medicament from the nozzle block (18) to the mouth of a user; and at least one actuating member (54, 56) for manual engagement by a user in applying a force to actuate the canister (8), wherein the at least one actuating member (54, 56) is disposed such that the actuating force is applied substantially laterally relative to the longitudinal axis of the canister (8) and configured when being acted upon to cause relative movement of the body (10) and the valve stem (12) of the canister (8).
