Abstract: The present invention relates to a particulate material separation assembly. It comprises a filtration membrane and an antifouling device. The antifouling device comprises one or more magnets and a plurality of magnetisable particles. The one or more magnets cause the plurality of magnetisable particles to self-assemble into dynamic bristles, thereby forming a brush. The particulate material separation assembly is particularly useful in the context of micro algae harvesting.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for collaborative online shopping between a customer and a retailer representative. A communication channel is provided through which communication channel the customer and representative discuss items available for purchase on a retailer website. The communication channel can accommodate different communication modalities for the customer and the representative. A shared virtual shopping basket is provided, for adding or removing items by the customer or representative. The basket is synchronously shared between, and viewable by, the customer and representative. When the customer or the representative adds, removes or changes an item, the basket is updated to reflect the changes, and a notification is sent to the customer and/or representative about the updates to the basket. When shopping is complete, the contents is transferred to a shopping cart at the retailer website to complete the purchase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry refractory particulate composition comprising a zeolithic microstructure, to a green body and to a refractory lining formed therefrom, and to uses thereof.

Abstract: The electromechanical circuit breaker is intended to establish and break the current in a main circuit (3, 4) and comprises a fixed contact element (5) and a moving contact element (6) which in a first position are in electrical contact with each other for carrying the current of the main circuit (3, 4). Said moving contact element (6) is adapted to be displaced to a second position in which it is separated from the fixed contact element (5) so that the current in the main circuit is cut off. The circuit breaker is provided with a blow-out device (2) comprising a magnetising coil (8) traversed by a magnetising current for producing a magnetic field (26) adapted to drive an arc generated by the separation of said two contact elements (5, 6) into an arc extinction means. The blow-out device (2) comprises electrodes (12) electrically connected to the magnetising coil (8) and adapted to cooperate with said arc in such a manner that the latter generates said magnetising current in the magnetising coil (8).

Abstract: An electrical coil module of planar type manufactured by printed circuit techniques on a generally flat substrate (21) has a first layout (20) of conducing material constituting a first electrical conductor having an input terminal (23), arranged on one side of the substrate (21). A second layout (20′) of conducting material constituting a second electrical conductor having an output terminal (24), is arranged on the opposite side of the substrate. The first and second conductors are connected by an electrical connection (22) through the substrate (21), so that an electrical voltage connected between the input and output terminals of the coil module will drive a current from one terminal through the conductor on one side of the substrate via connection (22) through the substrate and the conductor on the other side of the substrate to the other terminal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a toner composition consisting of fusible electrostatically attractable toner particles suitable for development of electrostatic charge patterns. According to the invention, dry electrostatographic toner particles suitable for use in the development of an electrostatic charge pattern and having a particle size distribution showing more than about 80 percent by volume of the toner particles with equivalent particle size diameter of less than about 10 .mu.m are provided wherein:(i) the toner particles are blended with fine inorganic microparticles in a concentration of at least 0.1% w/w and at most 5% w/w, the said fine inorganic microparticles being characterized by a product of BET surface (A) in m.sup.2 /g times the methanol value (B) fulfilling the relation:A.times.

Abstract: The invention provides use of interleukin-6 in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of consumptive thrombohemorrhagic disorder. The invention also provides use of interleukin-6 in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of a dysfunction associated with a reduced level of at least one acute phase protein.

Abstract: A release mechanism for a high speed circuit breaker comprises a roller rotatably supported on an axle in a mobile contact bridge. A jack is acting in the circuit closing direction on the roller, and the frontal side of the jack is in the form of a slide. The force of a disconnecting spring acts on the contact bridge in a disconnecting direction. The release mechanism to be provided with the connected contact bridge is capable of very rapid release, so that high short circuit currents may be interrupted very rapidly. This is obtained by the slide having a configuration such that in the connected state of the contact bridge the frictional forces acting on the roller are compensated.
