Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of novel nickel complexes containing iminopyrrolyl-type ligands, having the general molecular structure (I), and to their use as active catalysts in the polymerisation reaction of ethylene to hyperbranched polyethylene. The structure of the ligand precursor is such that it allows the occurrence of a cyclometallation reaction by the activation of a C—H bond, in the coordination reaction to the metal centre, generating a C,N,N?-tridentate complex.

Abstract: The present application arises from the need of associating a switching matrix comprising electromechanical relays with a switching matrix comprising solid-state relays. Disclosed herein is an automated test equipment comprising an electronic controller, at least two measuring signals, at least one switching matrix comprising at least two electromechanical relays for each test point, and at least a switching matrix comprising at least one test point and at least two solid-state relays for each test point. In this equipment, each test point in a switching matrix comprising electromechanical relays is connected to a test point of the other switching matrix comprising solid-state relays, via an electromechanical relay. In practice, a reduction by half of the test time at the low voltage step is observed.

Abstract: The system comprises a monitoring device, one acquisition unit and respective method for monitoring and registering the position of an individual. This disclosure is intended for the following applications: 1) prevention or assistance in the treatment of pressure ulcers (or decubitus ulcers), common in immobile patients (2) or wheelchairs users, 3) monitoring of patients suffering from dementia (which makes them do some actions (for instance: getting up from a chair) without being aware of them, and that can suffer serious accidents due to that), 4) fall detection and 5) involuntary body movements (e.g. epileptic attack). The monitoring device comprises an inertial system, with 3 or more accelerometers; a directional system, with 3 or more magnetometers; a communication module; and a processor module to obtain and communicate the inclination and direction of the device, when coupled to an individual.

Abstract: A computer system for management of financial data relating to funds holding investments includes a data storage device and a server configured for execution of computer-readable instructions embodied in components. The components include an expense component for accessing and verifying fund expense calculation data, and storing the verified fund expense data in a common data format; a pre-trade component for receiving data relating to fund ownership, determining and storing data indicative of fund trading requirements in the common data format; a settlement component for accessing data indicative of instructions for execution of trades, determining data indicative of instructions for payment in settlement of trades consistent with the trade instructions data and providing output data signals indicative of the instructions for payment; and an accounting component for accessing accounting ledgers stored in the data storage devices and updating the accounting ledgers.

Abstract: The invention presented here belongs to the technical field of building materials, decorative materials and materials for furniture. It is intended to solve the problem of innovative uses with new solutions for the application of traditional building materials such as concrete. Its primary application is for materials used in building walls, floors, furniture and others within their technical field. Its main features, the translucency and lightness, result from the incorporation of fiber optics and granulated cork in the composition at the time of mixing with the special mortar cement. After setting we obtain a new material of resistance similar to traditional concrete, weighing less and with a certain degree of translucency. Changing the traditional formulation of concrete through the introduction of these two materials, alters the physical properties of the resulting compound.

Abstract: A computer system has a processor; and a memory storage device in communication with the processor. The processor is configured, in a business cycle, to access fund expense calculation data and perform verification of the fund expense calculation data; receive data indicative of prices of the funds, perform verification with respect to the received price data; after completion of verification of the fund price data, receive data indicative of trades, perform verification on the received trade data; after completion of verification of the trade data, provide output signals indicative of instructions for execution of trades consistent with the verified price and trade data; based on the trade instructions data, determine instructions for payment in settlement of trades, provide output signals indicative of the instructions for payment; and update accounting ledgers with data from the business cycle.

Abstract: A waterproof, swivel feature secondary plug and socket device suitable for use within a construction setting, for placement within an extension cord between an originating power source and a user end tool. The device allows a rotational movement between the plug and socket components such that cord twisting and buckling is eliminated, and strain on an operator is reduced. The device provides protection against cord damage or operator injury because, when too great a longitudinal traction force is applied along the cord, as when a cord becomes entrapped during use, the frictional fit between the plug and socket component allows an automatic separation of the unit with immediate withdrawal of electrical power from the cord.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lifting device secured in height along a wall comprising a gondola, characterised in that the safety and drive means are on-board on the gondola and cause the gondola to slide along the two rails by means of a pair of secure jaws, the actions of which are coordinated so as to advance along each rail with an alternating clearance.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a hollow conductive post member having a circular periphery, a foot portion and a distal end. The distal end has a generally cup shaped indentation. A base member is included having top and bottom surfaces. The foot portion of the post member is mounted to the top surface. At least one standoff extends from the bottom surface of the base member. The at least one standoff is for resting against a contact surface when soldering the electrical connector to the contact surface, thereby separating the bottom surface from the contact surface to define a minimum volume therebetween for occupation by solder.
