Abstract: A device (1) for determining temperature and a measuring arrangement for determining flow that allows for a secure attachment on an object. The device has a measuring element (2) with a temperature-dependent electric resistance value. The measuring element (2) is surrounded by a thermally conductive fixing element (5) and is encompassed by a retaining bracket (6).

Abstract: Ready to drink milk beverage compositions are described comprising creatine and an added protein such as whey protein, which have good creatine shelf life at ambient temperatures.

Abstract: A tail trailer includes a main deck mounted on a main frame, a main tail pivotally connected to a rearward end of the main deck and a flip tail pivotally secured to a rearward end of the main tail. The flip tail is movable between a folded position beneath the main tail and an unfolded position extending outwardly from the rearward end of the main tail. A lifting and holding assembly is provided between the main frame and the main tail for pivotally moving and maintaining a desired position of the main tail and the flip tail relative to the main deck. A combined locking and supporting arrangement beneath the main tail provides ground engaging support for the main tail, and also provides locking engagement for holding the flip tail in the folded position.

Abstract: Surgical apparatus is described that includes a surgical robot having a moveable arm for carrying a surgical tool. The apparatus also has x-ray imaging apparatus that includes at least one of an x-ray source and an x-ray detector. The moveable arm of the surgical robot is configured to carry at least one of the x-ray source and the x-ray detector. In this manner, the surgical robot can be used to perform x-ray imaging to allow patient registration. Methods of using the apparatus are also described.

Abstract: A traveling axle trailer includes an elongated deck being constructed with an underlying frame provided with a set of main support beams and a set of guide beams located between these support beams. The guide beams are configured with rear guiding and supporting surfaces extending in one sloping direction between the front end and the rear end of the trailer. Front guiding and supporting surfaces on the guide beams extend in another sloping direction opposite the one sloping direction between the front end and the rear end of the trailer. An undercarriage is movably supported along the guide beams between a transport position and a loading position. The undercarriage has a frame provided with a set of front guiding and supporting assemblies and a set of rear guiding and supporting assemblies.

Abstract: A method of generating a generic framing procedure hierarchy comprising processing a first generic framing procedure frame to determine the overall length of the generic framing procedure frame, mapping the frame into the generic framing procedure payload area of a second generic framing procedure frame at the next level of the generic framing procedure hierarchy, whereby information enabling the size of the generic framing procedure payload remaining after that frame has been extracted is captured in the header fields of the generic framing procedure frame into which the first frame is encapsulated, and wherein the generic framing procedure header indicates whether there are more frames left in the mapping hierarchy when de-encapsulating (i.e., running down) the generic framing procedure frame stack by providing an indicator at level N of the hierarchy that at the level N?1 there is a generic framing procedure frame to extract.

Abstract: A communications network provides a carrier Ethernet service without requiring the client signal to be identified by an Ethertype in a carrier Ethernet frame. A plurality of differing types of client signals can thus be encapsulated within the same carrier Ethernet service channel by using a generic framing procedure adaptation layer. The client signals are adapted for encapsulation within the carrier Ethernet frames by mapping the client signal within a generic framing procedure adaptation layer signal and then by mapping the generic framing procedure adaptation layer signal into the carrier Ethernet signal. As the client signal is identified within said generic framing procedure signal only a generic framing signal Ethertype is required. The mapping protocol enables a single Ethernet frame to carry a plurality of client signals.

Abstract: A Coriolis mass flowmeter having two measuring tubes, wherein two neighboring oscillation node plates are provided on one end of the measuring tube that connect the two measuring tubes to one another and wherein the angle between the planes of both oscillation node plates is determined in such a manner that the vibration of the measuring tubes is minimal up to a predetermined driving force. A method of producing the flowmeter is also disclosed.

Abstract: A Coriolis mass flowmeter having a measuring tube that can be excited to oscillation and a magnet assembly (1) serving to generate oscillations and/or to receive oscillations.

The Coriolis mass flowmeter that has a mounting for the permanent magnet, which can withstand long-term oscillation stress and can reliably protect the permanent magnet is implemented by the magnet holder (3) consisting of nonmagnetic metal such as stainless steel.

Abstract: A method of partitioning the header stack of a data packet, the header stack conforming to a label switching protocol, the method comprising: receiving the packet at an edge mode of a routing domain in the communication system; and processing the label header stack at the edge node to add a new stack entry having a label field comprising a value which delimits the header stack entries between a stack domain configurable by the node belonging to a first routing domain of the label switching protocol and at least one other stack domain configurable by a node belonging to another routing domain of the communications system.
