Abstract: A fitting assembly for a window or door includes a leaf tiltable and detachable from, and slidable parallel to, the fixed window or door frame, and a control element with a fastener mountable permanently on the frame and an insertion part pivotable and slidable relative to the fastener. In an insertion position, in which a control pin is pushable into the insertion part, an insertion part end section lies preferably partially against the fastener for conducting away control pin-insertion part impact into the fastener via the end section. The insertion part may pivot out of interlocking engagement with the fastener by a control arm on which the control pin may be located or formed, such that subsequently the insertion part can slide via the control pin. The control element can have a freewheel mechanism for pivoting the insertion part only during fitting assembly opening and not during closing.

Abstract: A connecting device, in particular for installing at least one opening stay on a window leaf has a rail, which can be guided as far as possible in the direction of the first longitudinal axis thereof into a groove of the connecting device. The groove engages at least in sections behind the rail. The blocking of the longitudinal displaceability of the rail in the groove is guaranteed at least counter to the first longitudinal direction by a projection connected to the rail, which projection engages in a recess in the region of the groove. The projection is held in the installed position of the connecting device by a spring element in the recess. A spring element is arranged on the rail preferably in a limited movable manner. Alternatively or in addition, the connecting device can comprise a cap which holds the projection in the installed position of the connecting device indirectly and/or directly at least partially in the recess.

Abstract: A radiation detector including a scintillator; a wavelength shifting portion to cause a wavelength shift in photons emitted by the scintillator; and a photodetector optically coupled to the scintillator to receive the wavelength shifted photons.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, methods, and software provide attachment-based mass data input and output for a distributed application system. Software for interactive, attachment-based data management may comprise computer readable instructions operable when executed to receive a request from a logically remote client via a network interface, where the request indicates a data file and a business object associated with a business application. The business object is then updated with a message in a format associated with the business application based on the data file. The data file is then stored in a repository and a dependent object (included in, or referenced by, or otherwise associated with the business object) is then updated with a logical location of the data file in the repository.
