Abstract: A method for coating of a metallic coil or of metallic sheets with an aqueous coating composition comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of zirconium compounds, titanium compounds and hafnium compounds whereby the such treated metallic coil or metallic sheets is/are shaped by cold extruding, by deep-drawing, by drawing, by necking, by punching, by wall ironing or by any combination of such process steps to a hollow article like a container or a casing and is then cleaned and optionally further coated either by chemical pre-treatment and then by coating with ink or paint or both or by chemical treatment.

Abstract: A process for producing a repair coating on at least one metallic surface that is coated with at least one corrosion protecting coating A applied with at least one composition selected from the group of pretreatment compositions, of organic compositions and of silicon compound(s) containing compositions, whereby the at least one corrosion protecting coating A has been at least partially removed in the area Z, whereby a thin corrosion protecting coating B containing at least one silicon compound is applied with a solution or dispersion containing at least one silane, at least one silanol, at least one siloxane, at least one polysiloxane or any mixture of these (=“siloxane composition”) on at least a part of the area Z.

Abstract: A muff coupling intended for vehicle couplers includes two components formed with ring-shaped flanges, as well as a muff consisting of at least two arch parts tightenable against each other, each having an inner flute formed between two inwardly turned bulges, which flute is delimited by obliquely inclined side surfaces to, upon radial tightening of the arch parts against each other, be pressed against analogously obliquely inclined shoulder surfaces on the flanges and thereby, by wedge action, transfer axial component forces to the same, pressing the ends of the components in close contact against each other. The arch parts are formed with double sets of bulges for cooperation with double flanges on the respective component, whereby forces that are transferred between the components via the muff are distributed to a plurality of axially spaced-apart pairs of contact surfaces in an axial train of forces near the outside of the components.

Abstract: A method based on an Air-razor tool is disclosed thereby providing improved release and dispersal into air of a dose of medication powder. When air is sucked through a suction tube, particles of a powder dose, made available to the suction tube, are gradually released and dispersed into a stream of air entering the suction tube. The gradual release and dispersal is produced by a relative motion introduced between the suction tube and the dose. The high velocity air going into the suction tube inlet provides plenty of shearing stress and inertia energy as the flowing air hits the leading point of the dose. This powder Air-razor method, created by the shearing stress and inertia of the air stream, is so powerful that the particles of the powder adjacent to the inlet of the moving suction tube are released and subsequently entrained in the air stream going through the suction tube.

Abstract: The present invention reduces automatic gain control (AGC) transients using first and second AGC processing branches to receive a signal. A gain is selectively adjusted (if desired) in the one of the AGC processing branches during a first time period. However, a gain is not adjusted in the other AGC processing branch during that first time period. The signals generated by the first and second AGC processing branches are then diversity processed to generate a received signal. The diversity processing effectively reduces the effect of any AGC transient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the treatment or pretreatment of containers made of aluminium, aluminium-containing alloys, magnesium-containing alloys, iron-containing materials such as steel, coated iron-containing materials such as galvanised steel, galvanised metallic materials or metallic materials coated with aluminium or aluminium alloys, tinplate, brass or bronze, in particular the treatment or pretreatment of bags, tubs, bottles, cans, canisters, casks or tubes, in which the process steps for the treatment or pretreatment coincide with the application of the lubricant, with the agent used for the pretreatment or treatment and which also contains and/or is a lubricant essentially not comprising titanium and/or zirconium together with fluoride and polymer, the lubricant optionally being formed only in the agent for the pretreatment or treatment and/or being formed during the formation of the coating produced therefrom.

Abstract: The reliability of a data flow between a server and a client in a data communications network is increased. An application in a user terminal is arranged to receive information from a server, such as a push server or a streaming server, in the network. A user who should have an active connection to the server is monitored to determine if the user currently has such a connection. An appropriate action is taken if this is not the case. The user's connection to the data communications network is monitored. If connected to the data communications network, the user should also have an active connection to said server.

Abstract: Targeted messaging, for example advertisements, may be provided to an end user terminal connectable to a service node in a communications network, said network comprising a library node connected to the service node and comprising messages, such as advertisements, in different formats adapted to different access types, by the following steps: requesting the delivery of at least one message from the library node to the service node for distribution to the terminal, while specifying in the request the access type used by the terminal, and providing from the library node to the service node the appropriate version of the at least one message in dependence of the access type used by the terminal. One or more parameter, such as demographic data, may be specified for how to select a message from the library node.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention a device in door arrangements is provided comprising a plurality of door panels which by hinge means are hingedly interconnected in sequence to pivot axes. The door panels are arranged to be guided by rollers arranged between guide tracks and the door panels for guided movement of said panels along the guide tracks extending along the intended path of movement of the door. The pivot axes of each hinge means is portioned between the side walls of contacting door panels. The hinge means hingedly interconnecting said contacting door panels comprise a convex member forming part of one of said contacting door panels and a concave member forming part of the other one of said contacting door panels. The members extend along the edges of the corresponding contacting door panels with their axes coinciding with pivot axis. The members form a bearing face, and the convex member is a separate component.

Abstract: There is a trend in the electronics industry towards a preference for components that can be surface mounted on a carrier, such as a circuit board. By using surface mountable leads on a component together with a “Single-In-Line” technique it is possible to surface mount a component (5) upstanding on a circuit board (7) with the component leads surface mounted on the board. The leads (8) may be bent at their bottom extremities and provided with feet (10) for effective contact with the board. Guide and support pins may be used to hold the component in position during mounting and connecting the component and to brace the leads on the component when mounted on the board.

Abstract: The device may be used to, for example, function test sensors in high voltage plants and signal boxes. The device makes it possible to function test sensors in high voltage plants, independent of where the sensors are located. The elongated device has one end that is provided with an insulated handle part and a flexible component that has a light generating part at an outer end thereof. The light generating part emits a light that is similar to the light of an electric arc.
