Abstract: The invention relates to a connection device for earthing an electrical apparatus or putting it at a reference potential. It is inserted between a first electrically conductive part belonging to said electrical apparatus and a second part belonging to a support structure on which said electrical apparatus is mounted and which may be at least partly electrically insulating. It is characterized in that it comprises a first automatic connection area for automatically creating electrical contact with said first part, and a second automatic connection area for automatically creating electrical contact with an electrical conductor that is earthed or connected to a reference potential, when said electrical apparatus is mounted on said support structure. The electrical apparatus is thus automatically earthed or connected to a reference potential when it is mounted on said support structure via said connection device and said electrical conductor, specifically without any tools, screws or any other fastening member.

Abstract: A fluid handling device has fluidic structures having inlet and outlet chambers and a connecting duct fluidically connecting the two. In a first state, the inlet chamber is completely or partly filled with at least a liquid and partly filled with a compressible medium, and the outlet chamber is at least partly filled with the compressible medium. One of the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber has such a venting duct that a flow resistance/volume product of venting of the chamber for the compressible medium amounts to at least 6700 N·s/m2, the other of the inlet chamber and of the outlet chamber being vented. An actuator for actuating the fluidic structures is to cause a pressure difference of at least 30 Pa between the compressible media within the inlet and outlet chambers, so as to thereby switch a valve device implemented into the connecting duct.

Abstract: A separate connection device (40) intended to be inserted between a metal frame (3), of an electrical component (1), and a metal supporting structure (20) in order to connect, electrically and separately, the frame to the supporting structure. The connection device (40) comprises a metal blade manufactured from spring steel which comprises two self-connecting end areas (45, 46) arranged in separate planes and comprising a set of sharp teeth (47) arranged in order to be embedded within the metal material and formed on a folded section of the metal blade so that the sets of teeth (37, 47) extend in opposite directions and in planes intended to intersect the planes of the frame (3) and of the supporting structure (20) when the connection device is mounted.

Abstract: A computing system for providing a user interface control to modify properties of items within a main application window. The computing system has a main application window, a gallery control window, a control object selection processing module, and a control object focus processing module. The main application window contains one or more application items, each application item having one or more control properties affecting a behavior of the application item. The gallery control window contains a list of one or more control objects for modifying control properties of the application items located within the main application window. Each of the control objects in the list of control objects includes a graphical icon having a selection portion and a properties portion and one or more control properties that affect one or more items within the main application window.

Abstract: An oscillating assembly for oscillating a winding of a web of material includes a controller configured to determine a speed of the web of material, a winding roller configured to wind the web of material thereon into a roll of material, and a shifting assembly slidably coupled to a fixture. The shifting assembly supports the winding roller. The oscillating assembly also includes an actuating mechanism coupled to the shifting assembly. The actuating mechanism includes an actuating rod coupled to the shifting assembly, wherein the actuating rod is movable in a direction substantially transverse to a direction of the winding of the web. The actuating mechanism also includes a driver configured to receive a signal from said controller based on the speed of the web of material, and configured to move said actuating mechanism based on the signal received from said controller.

Abstract: A solvent applicator for applying a solvent to a web, wherein the solvent is supplied through a first solvent line from a solvent tank via a pressure increase in the solvent tank from a pressure source, includes a controller, and a first valve in flow communication with the pressure source, wherein the first valve is configured to control an amount of pressure output based on a signal received from the controller. The solvent applicator also includes a second valve in flow communication with the first valve and in flow communication with the first solvent line. The second valve is configured to control an amount of solvent output based on the amount of the pressure output from the first valve. The solvent applicator also includes a dispensing nozzle coupled in flow communication with the second valve, wherein the dispensing nozzle is configured to receive the solvent output from the second valve, and wherein the dispensing nozzle is positioned a distance above the web.

Abstract: A detection system for detecting solvent on a web of material, wherein the solvent includes light sensitive material, includes a detection assembly including an enclosure having side walls defining a cavity, wherein the enclosure is configured to prevent ambient light from entering the cavity, at least one illumination source for generating light towards the light sensitive material, and a camera positioned within the cavity and configured to produce a signal relating to an image of the web. The system also includes a monitoring assembly located outside of the cavity and configured to receive the signal from the camera. The monitoring assembly includes a display for displaying the image of the web for determining the quality of the solvent application on the web based on the presence or the absence of the light sensitive material.
