Abstract: An aircraft ram air channel assembly having: a first ram air inlet with a deflector protruding from the aircraft outer skin, the deflector guiding an air flow into a first ram air inlet channel; a second ram air inlet having a cross-sectional area flush with the outer skin, the second inlet being coupled to a second ram air inlet channel and arranged proximate to the first inlet upstream of the first inlet; and a flap pivotable about an axis between first and second operating positions. The axis is upstream of the first and second inlets and extends perpendicular to the air flow. The flap in its first position projects into the second inlet channel to control air flow through the second inlet into the second inlet channel, and in its second position projects into the air flow to prevent foreign objects from entering the first and second inlets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to goggles, in particular radiation protection goggles, for receiving at least one radiation protection material which protects the eyes of a patient from radiation being harmful to the eyes, in particular ?-radiation and/or x-ray radiation and/or gamma radiation. The goggles comprise: two goggle frames, each having a continuously circumferential side wall structure completely enclosing an area around the respective eye of the patient, a length-adjustable connection element between the two goggle frames in the area of the patient's nose in order to change the distance between the two goggle frames relative to one another, and at least one length-adjustable holding element for fixing the two goggle frames at the patient's head. The side wall structures are configured for receiving at least one radiation protection material substantially completely around its circumference.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for generating a natural language question for a given input text. The input text is parsed using a minimal recursion semantics (MRS) generating grammar to obtain a minimal recursion semantics (MRS) representation of the input text. Semantic rote labelling transforms the input text into at least one semantic association of a verb and semantic arguments of the verb, the semantic arguments of the verb being fragments of the input text. A question type is received for at least one verb/semantic argument association. The MRS representation of the input text is transformed into a MRS representation of one or more questions based on the at least one semantic association of the verb and respective question types. At least one question of the one or more questions is generated based on the MRS representation of the at least one question using the MRS generating grammar.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for verifying an identity of a user using dynamically generated questions based on transactions conducted by the user. Responsive to receiving a request to verify the identity of the user, one or more transaction based sources associated with the user are scanned for a set of transactions conducted by the user within a first predetermined time frame of a current time. A subset of transactions from the set of transactions are randomly selected as the basis for forming a set of questions to be used to verify the identity of the user. The set of questions are generated such that the user is required to identify one or more details about the subset of transactions in order to verify the user's identity. Responsive to the user correctly answering the one or more details about the subset of transactions, the user is authenticated.

Abstract: A mixer assembly for an air-conditioning system comprising a recirculation air line, connectable to a vehicle region to be air-conditioned, to remove recirculation air from the region, and an air-conditioning air line, connectable to an air-conditioning unit to remove conditioned air from the air-conditioning unit. A first mixing region, for mixing the recirculation air with the conditioned air, is connected to the two air lines. A second mixing region, for mixing the first mixing region air with recirculation air, is connected to the recirculation air line and the first mixing region. Also, a first supply line is connected to the first mixing region to supply air from the first mixing region to a first partial region of the vehicle region, and a second supply line is connected to the second mixing region to supply air from the second mixing region to a second partial region of the vehicle region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food-grade high-temperature lubricant, more particularly a high-temperature oil and a high-temperature grease, comprising the following components: a) at least one oil selected from a trimellitic ester or a mixture of different trimellitic esters, alkylaromatics, preferably an aliphatically substituted naphthalene, or estolides; b) a hydrogenated or fully hydrogenated polyisobutylene or a mixture of hydrogenated or fully hydrogenated polyisobutylene; and c) additives individually or in combination. In the case of the high-temperature grease, a thickener is added.

Abstract: Embodiments manage user authorization to access multiple grouped software applications, via a catalog mechanism. Functionality of related software is divided into semantically meaningful catalogs, representing tasks or sub-processes within a business scenario. These catalogs represent a unit of functionality utilized to structure work and authorization. Functionality and authorizations are associated to system entry points, and assigned to catalogs bundling applications and services. Responsibilities may be defined statically or dynamically in terms of rule-based access restrictions to data structure (e.g., business object) instances. Catalogs may be assigned to business roles, and business roles assigned to users. Based on such assignments, corresponding authorizations are generated and linked to users at compile or deployment time. At run time, access decision and enforcement is granted based on these authorizations and restrictions.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air filter element (200) for insertion into an air filter housing, comprising an intake surface (275), a discharge surface (285), a filter medium (210), and a filter element-retaining device (240) which extends along at least a section of the periphery of the filter medium (210), between the intake surface (275) and the discharge surface (285), and which includes a retaining arrangement (270) that radially projects from the filter medium (210).
