Abstract: A glass cabinet for storage and/or display of objects includes a front, a rear (2), a right (3) and a left lateral surface (4), a bottom piece (5) and an upper piece (6) forming the top, at least one lateral surface, for example, the front lateral surface being formed as a glass door (1), in the closed state of the glass cabinet, the interior thereof being sealed in an airtight manner to the environment and the door (1) being mounted displaceably laterally parallel by a guide means mounted in the region of the upper piece or the lower piece or respectively in the region of the upper and the lower piece until release of half of the door opening. In this position, the guide means is formed in such a manner that the projecting part of the door (1) can be pivoted in this position so far that this part of the door (1) adjoins the left (3) or right lateral surface (4). Such a design of a glass cabinet is particularly suitable for those with a very large width.

Abstract: A shelve cabinet comprises partially cooled shelves which are open towards the front and wherein the goods compartment is cooled by a cool-air curtain flowing through the at least partially perforated rear wall of the goods compartment into the goods compartment and/or by a cool-air curtain flowing along the goods compartment opening. One or more goods display shelves are located in the goods compartment, the goods display shelves being configured in such a manner that the at last one partial flow of the cool-air curtain is guided across them to the front area of the goods display shelves. The goods display shelves are provided with structure for stabilizing at least one partial flow of the cool-air curtain flowing along the goods compartment opening.

Abstract: A showcase for storing and/or displaying objects which require a protective gas atmosphere, the base and the cover construction of the showcase more or less surrounding the showcase interior which is sealed in an airtight manner as far as possible relative to the exterior air, having a compressor (2) by which the air (1) present outwith the showcase interior (7) is suctioned in and compressed. Subsequently a protective gas is produced from the compressed air by a gas producer (3) and is supplied to the showcase interior (7), the gas producer (3) being able to be accommodated within or outwith the showcase. In this way, provision of a supply container for the protective gas is avoided.

Abstract: A show cabinet for displaying objects, one of the side panels of which is in the form of a glass door, the outer face of which, in the area of the outer edge when in the closed position, closes flush with one side panel of the cabinet in order to seal off the interior of the cabinet in a dust-tight and airtight manner against its surroundings, appropriate flexible sealing strips being affixed in the area of movement of the door.

Abstract: Techniques for automatically maintaining continuity in animation across discrete animation changes. Smooth animation is achieved without forcing the animator to manually calculate compensation values or introducing extra controls to the models that are animated. Continuity or smoothness of the animation is maintained as varying aspects of the animation change under continued authoring.

Abstract: A device and method are disclosed for selective exposure of a biological sample, preferably biological cell material, to sound waves. The device is provided with a receptacle for the sample, in which the biological sample is in a suspended form, and having an electroacoustic transducer device, which generates sound waves and which is disposed outside the receptacle of the sample in such a manner that sound-wave coupling into said sample occurs through the wall of said receptacle.

Abstract: An acoustic transducer, especially an air transducer, including a piezoceramic disk (10). The object of the invention is to provide an improved transducer of this type for more efficiently converting electromagnetic waves into mechanical waves and vice versa. To this end, a combination of a piezoceramic disk (10) and a membrane (8) is provided, the membrane being configured as a monomorphic flexural resonator and being composed of an epoxy-hollow glass sphere mixture or of a material which is similar in terms of its acoustic properties. The planar vibration mode (4) in the piezoceramic is converted into a thickness vibration (6) using Poisson's ratio. After the conversion, this thickness vibration is then adapted to the propagation medium, especially air, by a coupling layer having a low acoustic impedance.

Abstract: The present invention is embodied in an abrasion resistant ceramic material comprising a porous ceramic material having a surface, and a preceramic polymer infiltrated into the surface wherein the preceramic polymer is converted to a ceramic state.

Abstract: A scatterable dry cleaning composition containing: (a) cellulose powder adsorbent; (b) ground polyurethane foam absorbent; and (c) water.

Abstract: A cabinet has a top part (1) consisting of glass sheets and an under part (8), wherein the top part (1) is composed of a top face (2) and a plurality of sides (3, 4, 5 and 6). A screw jack (10) driven by an electric motor (11) is fitted in each corner in the under part (8) to raise the top part (1). Synchronous running of all the electric motors (11) during the raising or lowering operation of the top part (1) is ensured by a common electronic control device (12) which is fitted in the under part (8).

Abstract: A carpet cleaning composition comprising: (a) a powder-form solid adsorbent; (b) rollable particles of porous material, each particle having a length greater than 1 mm, and a diameter equal to at least 10% of the length of the particle; and (c) water.

Abstract: A cabinet for displaying objects comprises a top part (1) resting on an under part and which consists of a top face, a rear side (3), left (4) and right (6) sides, a bottom face (10) and a front side (5) consisting of a glass sheet (25) pivotally fitted on the top face (9) to swing upwardly. The glass sheet (25) is surrounded by a frame (11) on all sides. In the region of the front side (5) a gas spring (13) is rotatably attached to the bottom face (10) in the region of each of the left (4) and right (6) sides and acts in the region of the middle of the frame (11). The pivoting movement of the front side (5) is effected by screw jacks (14) acting above each of the gas springs (13) and driven by electric motors. Synchronous operation of the two electric motors is ensured by an electronic control device.
