Abstract: A continuous process for making polyolefines are disclosed. The process involves a membrane-assisted separation of non-reacted olefins downstream a polymerisation reactor and enables economical production of polyolefines from non-polymer grade olefin monomers. Uses of membranes adapted to such processes are also disclosed. And, further disclosed are membranes, membrane modules, and separation units adapted to such process as well as polymerisation plants comprising such membrane separation units.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a drinking device that comprises two separate compartments, a first compartment for holding a flavored beverage or a flavoring agent for reconstituting the flavored beverage and a second compartment for holding an unflavored or weakly favored beverage, and a switching mechanism that allows for the sequential consumption of beverage from the first and the second compartment such that a subject ingests, in the course of each drinking event, first a volume of the flavored beverage and thereafter a volume of the unflavored or weakly favored beverage. Drinking from the device conveys to the subject a sensory experience that is similar to that produced by a typical uniformly flavored beverage even though it only consumed a fraction of the amount of flavoring agent that it would have consumed from drinking an equivalent volume of the uniformly flavored beverage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the manufacturing of metal organic framework (MOF) containing composite materials, particularly membranes. The inventive process comprises the steps of a phase inversion polymer formation containing pores of precursor materials and in situ formation of MOFs. The invention further relates to new MOF containing membranes; to the use of such membranes in gas separation processes and to devices comprising such membranes.

Abstract: A method for software development, installation, and management in a computer system may include: allowing first users to create components of applications; allowing second users, at a display of a web-browser-capable communications device, to build, edit, save, and compile new applications, using the components of the applications as end-user development tools, and to add the new applications to the library of applications; and allowing the second users, at the display of the web-browser-capable communications device, to download one or more of the new applications from the library of applications to mobile communications devices. When executed by the processor, the stored instructions control the computer system to perform functions that may include: connecting the mobile communications devices in a network using the downloaded one or more of the new applications; and causing information transfer to occur within the network that is independent of the processor of the computer system.

Abstract: A computer system may include a processor and a memory configured to store a library of applications for execution by the processor. The computer system may be configured to allow users of the computer system to download one or more applications from the library of applications to communications devices. The downloaded one or more applications may be configured to connect at least one first communications device of the communications devices to at least one second communications device of the communications devices in a network. Information transfer within the network from the at least one first communications device to the at least one second communications device may be independent of the processor.
