  • Publication number: 20230264999
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sludge retaining device for a drain of a sanitary basin, in particular of a sink or the like, comprising a sieve surface, which is formed extending from a higher to a lower surface region, and a handle device, which is arranged in the region of the lower surface region on the sieve surface, wherein the handle device comprises a flow disruption device, in particular break-away edge, for the flow of a liquid, which flows towards the lower surface region, such that the flow of the liquid is at least partially broken up by the recess.

  • Patent number: 10078740
    Abstract: A method and system for fetching functionalities across various user interfaces and providing, for execution, instructions to invoke a function that is not present at a particular user interface are disclosed. The method implemented in the system can include receiving i) data identifying a first function associated with a first user interface, and ii) instructions for invoking the first function in one or more user interfaces; receiving, from a second user interface, a request for invoking the first function; selecting, using a processor, an instruction configured to invoke the first function in the second user interface; transmitting the instruction to the second user interface; and invoking, using the transmitted instruction, the first function in an application associated with the second user interface.

  • Patent number: 9682730
    Abstract: A motor vehicle body for light weight construction comprises at least a bottom unit, a roof and side units (3), which are assembled to form at least part of the motor vehicle body. At least the side units include an inner shell element (3a) and an outer shell element (3g) made of injection molded plastics material and are attached to each other by attachment areas (4) to form a torsion stiff box structure. The inner and/or outer shell element may comprise a strut structure (5) extending from an inner shell element surface in between the shell elements towards the opposing shell element to realize the torsion stiff box structure.

  • Patent number: 8994746
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a flow based on multiply types of interactions are provided. Data defining one or more sequences of multiple interactive nodes are received for the multiple interactive nodes, where each of the multiple interactive nodes corresponds to a particular type of interaction. One of the interactive nodes is designated as the starting interactive node and other interactive nodes are designated as intermediary interactive nodes, where the starting interactive node and at least one of the intermediary interactive nodes correspond to different types of interactions. Intermediary interactive nodes are connected to the starting interactive node based on the one or more sequences, where the connection includes one edge corresponding to a direct connection to the starting interactive node or multiple edges corresponding to an indirect connection via at least one other intermediary interactive node. Visualization data for the interactive nodes is generated and provided for display.
