Abstract: An air dryer comprises a base member, a main cartridge and an intermediate cartridge. The air dryer is capable of drying and possibly filtering and/or cleaning air passing there through. The intermediate cartridge, capable of drying and possibly filtering and/or cleaning air passing there through, is arranged between the base member and the main cartridge.

Abstract: A presentation of a selected document, stored at a node of a network, is accomplished by means of a system essentially comprising a handheld device, a communication device for a presentation unit and a device that handles presentation requests. By operating the handheld device, a user is able to get a presentation unit specification from said communication device. This specification is then sent, together with an address to a selected document, to a device handling presentation requests. In this device the selected document is then converted to a format suitable for the presentation unit of said communication device, where the converted document is presented. The system could be using WAP-technology for sending information from the handheld device to the device that handles presentation requests and for accessing information on the Internet. Further the system could, for example, be using Bluetooth or IrDA for the communication between the handheld device and said communication device.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of improving the properties of powder metallurgically produced SMC compacted body consisting of a soft magnetic material of insulated powder particles and a lubricant, to a stress relieving heat treatment in a furnace until the component has reached a temperature of at least 400° C. in an oxygen containing atmosphere having a CO content is less than 0.25% by volume.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of isolating a desired nucleic acid from a biological solution, which method comprises to selectively precipitate the desired nucleic acid by adding a polycationic precipitating agent to the solution and allowing it to form a complex with said nucleic acid, wherein the precipitating agent is a highly charged linear polymer that comprises quaternary amino groups. The polycationic precipitating agent is preferably added in such an amount that the charge ratio [+]/[?] between polycationic precipitating agent and nucleic acid is ?0.5, preferably ?0.9 and most preferably ?1 during the precipitation, and in the presence of a salt concentration ensuring the quantitative specific precipitation of the nucleic acid/polycation complex.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatic bow adjustment for a venetian blind assembly machine, said bow adjustment station comprising rollers (48; 104, 106) for guiding, bending and levelling a strip material (43; 112), and further comprising a forming section (36; 102) where mating concave and convex upper and lower form rollers (50; 108, 110) are arranged for creating a transverse curvature in the strip material, further comprises the steps of: providing levelling through means for offsetting (34; 100, 102) in order to straighten the bow of the strip material (43; 112) within a predetermined deviation on a predetermined length of strip material; measuring the deviation through optical means (146) providing a deviation signal; and adjusting the levelling by said means for offsetting (34; 100) through the deviation signal, if said measured deviation exceeds a predetermined deviation, in order to keep the deviation within said predetermined deviation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing cerium oxide coated silica particles and cerium oxide silica particles obtainable by the method. The invention further relates to cerium oxide coated silica particles and the use thereof for polishing.

Abstract: For a single chamber air drier in a compressed air system on a vehicle the volume of dry regeneration air required to regenerate a desiccant in the air drier has to be determined. This can be accomplished in that data regarding system pressure, outdoor temperature and supplied air volume are continuously provided to a compute, which in relation to these parameters controls the supply of regeneration air to the air drier.

Abstract: A method for production of high purity silica sols comprising the steps: (a) adding a phosphonic acid-based complexing agent to the silicic acid-containing solution forming complexes with metal cations present in said solution; (b) forming in said silicic acid-containing solution a precipitation containing phosphonic acid-based complexing agent and metal cations; (c) removing the precipitation from the solution; and, (d) polymerising the silicic acid in the solution to obtain a silica sol. The invention also relates to silica sols containing at least one phosphonic acid-based complexing agent.

Abstract: An air drier comprises a base member with means for supplying and carrying away air to and from the air drier, respectively, a cylindrical, dome-shaped container releasably attached to the base member, and in the container a replaceable cartridge for desiccant. The cartridge is divided by a cylindrical dividing wall into a central compartment containing desiccant and an outer annular compartment. The top wall of the cartridge is provided with holes or passages for allowing air communication inside the container between the two compartments.

Abstract: For a single chamber air drier (SD) in a compressed air system on a vehicle the volume of dry regeneration air required to regenerate a desiccant in the air drier has to be determined. This can be accomplished in that data regarding system pressure (p), outdoor temperature (T) and supplied air volume are continuously provided to a computer (ECU), which in relation to these parameters controls the supply of regeneration air to the air drier.
