Abstract: A clip for retaining two planar elements assembled together on the main face thereof includes at least two side walls, each equipped with a groove opening and configured to enable the clip to be inserted on the two assembled planar elements and retain them against one another. At least one of the side walls is equipped with a slot opening into the groove and defining a flexible arm secured to the rest of the wall by a bending area. The free end of the flexible arm supports a stop partially blocking at least the groove.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a panel capable of bending under the effect of a load and having a peripheral surface provided with a plurality of pivoting attachment devices; each attachment device comprises: a metal gripping member adhered to the peripheral surface of the panel; and a metal clip cooperating by interlocking with the gripping member and configured to allow the gripping member to pivot when the panel bends.

Abstract: A method comprises the steps of determining values of one or more parameters of a first energy reservoir in a first device and corresponding parameters of a second energy reservoir in a second device, and setting a direction for transferring energy between the first energy reservoir and the second energy reservoir. The direction may be set based on the voltage of the first energy reservoir and the voltage of the second energy reservoir, based on an input from a user, or based on the values of one or more parameters of the first energy reservoir and the second energy reservoir obtained in a device-to-device communication between the first device and the second device. A bi-directional charging interface for executing the method comprises two energy paths in opposite directions and a control unit for setting the direction for the energy transfer.

Abstract: A device for attachment to a host for serial data communication including means for transferring to the host a predetermined data structure indicating whether or not the device supports direct memory access.

Abstract: Packaging for protecting or for sending of plants or plant containers in which the packaging is formed from at least two parts. A lower part is connected to an upper part in such a manner that a recess is present between a wall of the lower part and an inner wall of the upper part and in which recess a plant container is secured against movement or displacement.

Abstract: A method for use where a first and second device are connected A method comprises interacting with a first device and a second device. The first and second devices are connected together. A selection is made, based on an interaction order of said first and second devices, as to which one of said devices to be a master device.

Abstract: Packaging for protecting or for sending of plants or plant containers, characterized in that the packaging comprises at least two parts, of which parts a lower part is connected to an upper part in such a manner that a recess is present between a wall of the lower part and an inner wall of the upper part and in which recess the plant container is secured against movement or displacement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for indicating the watering quantity suitable for a pot, particularly a flower pot, via the determination of the pot volume V from the pot height H and pot diameter D, as well as to a volume measuring tape or tape measure usable in this method.

Abstract: Within wafer and wafer-to-wafer uniformity of W layers deposited by CVD, employing N.sub.2 for increased reflectivity, is significantly improved by omitting N.sub.2 during at least a portion of deposition. Embodiments include depositing a W nucleation layer on a TiN layer employing gaseous WF.sub.6 during a nucleation phase, omitting WF.sub.6 during an interposition phase during which substantially no W deposition occurs, depositing a W layer employing gaseous WF.sub.6 during a main deposition phase, flowing N.sub.2 gas at least during the terminal portion of the main deposition phase and omitting N.sub.2 gas during at least a portion of the nucleation phase and/or interposition phase, e.g., omitting N.sub.2 gas during the entire interdeposition phase.
