Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for enabling advertisement interaction with an electronic device, for use in a digital media content environment. A media device includes a touch-sensitive display screen, and user interface that enables access to a stored media application. During the streaming of media content from a media server, an audio advertisement or other type of advertisement can be inserted into a stream, for playback at the media device. Using playback controls provided either by the user interface, or by a headphones, headset, or other type of device, a user can interact with the advertisement (even if the user interface is locked), by performing a defined gesture, which, if received at the media application during a defined time period associated with the advertisement, is interpreted as a signal to select or otherwise interact with the advertisement.

Abstract: A blower for dental use, which comprises a support structure (1), an air source and a handpiece (28). Said handpiece is connected to a pipe (14) supplying air to be blown in, which is produced by the air source, and a blowing nozzle (13) for the air received from the supply pipe (14). The blower 10 also comprises means (12) for heating the air to be blown in, which means are mounted within the handpiece (28) so as to heat the air received from the supply pipe (14) and release it, heated, to the blowing nozzle (13). The air source comprises a compressor (11) which is housed inside the support structure (1) and is connected to the handpiece (28) by means of the air supply pipe (14) and produces a constant air flow having a pressure when leaving the blowing nozzle (13) of between 0.1 and 1 bar. The blowing nozzle (13) has a maximum outer dimension ranging between 0.4 and 1.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier for supporting a bicycle with respect to a motor vehicle. The carrier has a rod having a conical or cylindrical portion. The conical or cylindrical portion of the rod is sized so that it fits snugly within the seat receptacle of the bicycle once the seat has been removed. A bicycle is supported on the carrier by removing the bicycle seat and placing the seat receptacle over the rod. Next, the seat receptacle is tightened onto the rod, securing the bicycle to the carrier.

Abstract: An analysis apparatus including a spectroscopic analysis apparatus comprises an excitation system and a monitoring system. The excitation system emits an excitation beam to excite a target region during an excitation period. The monitoring system emits a monitoring beam to image the target region during a monitoring period. The excitation period and the monitoring period substantially overlap. Hence the target region is imaged together with the excitation, and an image is formed displaying both the target region and the excitation area. On the basis of this image, the excitation beam can be very accurately aimed at the target region.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging system is provided with a system of emission antennas,: for example, emission coils, for generating RF excitation pulses. The RF excitation pulses generate magnetic resonance signals from an object to be examined. The system of emission antennas has a spatially inhomogeneous emission profile. The inhomogeneous emission profile is used for the partial spatial encoding of the magnetic resonance signals in addition to the encoding on the basis of magnetic gradient fields.
