Abstract: A network device configured to allows the connection of the network device to a network in a daisy chain configuration using a single cable. The network device is connected to a cable with two conductors by a socket that is adapted to receive a plug connected to the end of the cable. When the plug on the end of a cable is inserted into the socket, a first conductor in the cable is connected to an input port of a network component and a second conductor of the cable is connected to an output port of a network component. A signal from the network is transmitted down a first conductor in a cable to a network device and the signal is then transmitted back from the network device down a second conductor in the same cable.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a radiant heating assembly, system and method. One or more elongate thermally insulative panels are coupled to one or more elongate structural members wherein each such panel assembly may be placed adjacent or in longitudinal alignment with another such panel assembly. The structural members are configured to extend longitudinally and/or recess longitudinally with respect to the structural members for assisting in longitudinal alignment thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a support ring for stabilizing an axle packing. The axle packing is presumed to include an axle-circumscribing element whose outer delimitation surface is essentially ring shaped. The support ring has an inner delimitation surface, which forms an opening for receiving the axle-circumscribing element. The support ring is adapted to be stationary mounted in an axle housing in such a manner that the inner delimitation surface of the support ring adjoins the ring shaped outer delimitation surface of the axle-circumscribing element with a gap thereto. The inner delimitation surface is configured such that an inner diameter of the support ring along this surface varies between a maximal opening dimension and a minimal opening dimension.

Abstract: The invention refers to a device for sealing a passage (1) through a stationary wall (2) between a first space (3), which is arranged to contain a liquid. A rotatable shaft (5) is intended to extend in the passage through the wall in such a way that a gap is formed, which extends around the shaft between the shaft and the wall. A chamber (8), containing liquid, is arranged between the gap and the first space and extends around the axis. A rotatable disc (14) is fixedly arranged on the shaft and exends outwardly from the shaft into said chamber. Means (17?, 17?) are arranged to force the liquid in the chamber to rotate at a rotary speed substantially exceeding the rotary speed of the shaft.

The invention provides a novel pharmaceutical composition, comprising a pharmaceutically effective combination of (i) a first compound selected from the group consisting of muscarinic receptor antagonists, 5&agr;-reductase inhibitors, and &agr;-adrenergic receptor antagonists, and precursors and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and (ii) a second compound selected from the group consisting of 5-HT1a receptor agonists and antagonists, and precursors and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent therefor.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring low energy radiation from a sample provided on a sample carrier (6, 6I). The sample is positioned in a shielded cavity (8) between two oppositely aligned Geiger-Müller tubes (11, 12) such that sample radiation either reaches both of the tubes or one of the tubes, in which case the other tube is for measuring background radiation only. Both tubes are used for measuring coincidental pulses, which are disregarded. A background radiation value, to be subtracted for obtaining a sample radiation value, is determined using either a historical background radiation value or both the historical background radiation value and a background radiation value obtained during the actual sample measurement. In the case of both tubes measuring sample radiation, there can be provided a third Geiger-Müller tube (13) for measuring background radiation only.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for closing of at least one end of a tube to protect the tube (8) against internal dirtying. According to the method, a strip (5) comprising a number of plugs (4) is fed up to a position in front of a tube (8) situated in a punch sleeve (9), at said position a plug (4) in the strip (5) is in a position just in front of the tube end (12), whereupon a punch (7) presses the strip (5) with the plug (4) against the tube (8) and the punch sleeve (9), so that the punch (7) in the end of its working stroke after pressing the plug (4) into the tube end (12) is punching out the plug (4) from said strip (5). The plug (4) formed for closing of a tube end is together with plugs, formed in the same way, integrally formed one after another at a predetermined distance in a longitudinal row in a continuous strip (5).

Abstract: A device, the purpose of which is to prevent theft from stores by rendering the stolen object unusable for the thief. There is a radio loop transmitting a directed and coded signal which in turn is received by a receiver in the device. The receiver decodes the signal and transforms it to a start impulse for the release mechanism in the device. Hereby a glass or plastic ampule in the device is destroyed and its content, a fluid, spreads under pressure through holes in the device and renders the theft-protected item unusable.

Abstract: This is a system for the air conditioning of rooms in building, which rooms are defined by concrete floor structures with hollow ducts connected in series in parallel with each other and in groups, in order to bring about effective heat exchange between concrete and supply air flowing through each duct group before being fed to the room via a supply air device. The supply air to each duct group is taken via a pipe connection from a main duct for supply air and is evacuated from the room in another way. In order to control the heat absorbtion (heat inertia) of the duct group according to the actual demand for each room so that the air-flows in each of the two connections of the duct group are balanced corresponding to the actual cold/heat demand. Each or some certain duct groups in the room includes a branching device (16) which is located between the main duct (5), or a branch thereof, and a second connecting place (11) to the duct group.

Abstract: When a packaging container is formed by sealing an area of sheet material to the edge of another area of sheet material, the L-joint or T-joint so formed is sometimes liable to rupture when subjected to blows or strain. According to this invention that danger is reduced or eliminated by moulding a zone (4) of an end closure panel (3) abutting on the container wall edge to which it is jointed so that it forms a flange resting against and bonded to the face of said wall (1). The flange may be provided with a lip (6) projecting from a short length of the edge of said closure panel.
