Abstract: A method is for automatically mapping the radiation in a portion of a building (7) using a robot vehicle (1). The portion of the building includes a plurality of building surfaces (9, 10). The method includes acquiring (1010) a 3D map (42) of a portion of a building (7). The 3D map (42) includes a plurality of segments (44), each representing a substantially flat building surface. The method further comprises applying (1020) to each segment (44) a plurality sectors forming a grid of sectors (46), each sector (46) having a border (48); physically marking, by the robot vehicle (1), the border (48) of each sector (46) with paint on the corresponding building surface (9, 10); and for one or more sectors (46), scanning, by the robot vehicle (1), with a radiation sensor (28) each sector (46), to measure the radioactive radiation within that sector.

Abstract: The invention provides an adhesive with an aqueous polymer dispersion. The aqueous polymer dispersion comprises a copolymer of a) esters of vinyl alcohol with C2 to C6 monocarboxylic acids, b) ?,?-unsaturated C3 to C9 carboxylic acids or vinyl-substituted phosphonic or sulfonic acids, c) polyunsaturated monomers, and optionally d) non-polar, copolymerizable monomers and e) copolymerizable monomers that carry polar functional groups, where the ratio of c:b ranges from 1:10 to 1:400. The adhesive has high adhesion strength, stable viscosity during high-speed automatic application process and, is optionally, remoistenable with water or becomes water-soluble. The adhesive may be advantageous used as wood adhesive, remoistenable adhesive, label adhesive, bottle adhesive, and the like.

Abstract: Door or gate, with an at least partially peripheral sealing means, with a retaining strip made from metal, within which the seal is arranged, wherein the seal may be activated pneumatically and is provided in the region of a door or gate opening for air-tight abutment against an installation frame made from metal, with fastening means arranged laterally of the seal for fastening electrically conductive contact elements, the electrical contact elements extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the seal and with their end above the surface of the seal that is directed toward the door or gate opening in such a way that when the door/gate is closed, said contact elements are pressed into electrical contact with the building-side installation frame and the surface of the seal is at the same time in air-tight contact with the installation frame.

Abstract: A locking-mechanism control means having a push rod which controls the adjustment of door-mounted catches, it being possible for the catches to be locked in relation to the door frame, having a first and a second adjustable blocking device arranged in the door. It is further possible for said blocking devices to be adjusted in dependence on the door movement, and one of the blocking devices arresting the push rod in the open position when the door is open.
