Abstract: A sensor assembly providing a physical property of a vehicle, e.g. tire pressure of a wheel of an aircraft, comprises electronic circuitry including a locking arrangement and sensor suited to sense the physical property and an exhaustable power source, e.g. a battery. For prolonged shelf life, a first and a second switch are functionally arranged between power source and circuitry. The second switch is controlled by the locking arrangement, whereas the first switch is controllable from outside the sensor assembly, e.g. by a magnetic field. The first switch is arranged to switch the power to the electronic circuitry, whereby the locking arrangement is powered, too. In consequence, the locking arrangement is capable to close the second switch. Thereafter, a further stimulus to the first switch will no more be capable to switch the sensor off, unless the locking arrangement enables it again by opening the second switch.

Abstract: This disclosure describes compositions including dimethylglyoxime (DMG) and methods of using those compositions including, for example, to reduce the availability of nickel in the subject. In some aspects, the composition may be administered to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a bacterial infection and/or to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a amyloid-? peptide aggregation. In some aspects, this disclosure describes using DMG or a composition including DMG to disrupt a biofilm or reduce the likelihood of biofilm formation.

Abstract: A sensor assembly providing a physical property of a vehicle, e.g. tire pressure of a wheel of an aircraft, comprises electronic circuitry including a locking arrangement and sensor suited to sense the physical property and an exhaustable power source, e.g. a battery. For prolonged shelf life, a first and a second switch means are functionally arranged between power source and circuitry. The second switch means is controlled by the locking arrangement, whereas the first switch means is controllable from outside the sensor assembly, e.g. by a magnetic field. The first switch means is arranged to switch the power to the electronic circuitry, whereby the locking arrangement is powered, too. In consequence, the locking arrangement is capable to close the second switch means. Thereafter, a further stimulus to the first switch will no more be capable to switch the sensor off, unless the locking arrangement enables it again by opening the second switch means.

Abstract: The window has a sash mounted in a frame, the sash having an electrical system and being selectively operable into one of a closed state and an open state, a lock between the sash and the frame, the lock being selectively operable into one of a locked state and an unlocked state, an electrical connection connecting the frame and the electrical system of the sash, and a sensor-switch device which senses the open state and which causes the electrical connection to be open when the sash is in the open state
