Inquiry about information on a CM can be made based on a feature of that CM, and a server can be inquired about a CM which meets a condition such as keyword, thereby permitting the user to view his desired CM. Detecting a commercial message from a television broadcast, calculating a feature of the detected commercial message and accepting input information appendant to the commercial message, a CM...

A multiply bonded mineral fibre board may be obtained by longitudinally compressing a fleece and then dividing it into two or more layers (43, 45), subjecting at least one of these layers to thickness compression and then recombining and bonding them, and preventing break-out of the tensioned sub-webs between the compression stage (53, 54) and a bonding stage (25).

A system (800) includes an e-mail engine which uses a proper protocol to retrieve an e-mail (875) from a first mail store (850) and to store the e-mail (875) in one or more folder structures (138, 140, 142, 144). Upon request, the first mail store (850) may send configuration data indicating the proper protocol to the e-mail engine, which can then properly configure itself. An e-mail synchronizati...

A method for temporary protection of blank surfaces of a component against corrosion includes a first step wherein a corrosion protection foil is applied to a blank surface to be protected and a second step wherein a self-sealing, semi-solid protection layer is applied in order to at least partly cover the corrosion protection foil. At a later time at least a part of the blank surface can be expos...

The present invention is directed to phosphonic acid compounds useful as serine protease inhibitors, compositions thereof and methods for treating inflammatory and serine protease mediated disorders.

An improved water resistant gypsum board is made by adding an aqueous wax emulsion containing a cationic surfactant to an aqueous slurry containing calcium sulfate and host particles at a slurry temperature which maintains calcium sulfate hemihydrate crystals. The wax emulsion is stable at the temperature of slurry which maintains the calcium sulfate hemihydrate. The slurry is then dewatered and r...

The invention relates to a method for producing tubular containers with an open filling opening and with an end that is provided with a seal. The inventive method comprises the following steps: separately producing a preform with a neck with definitive dimensions and a tubular body with smaller dimensions than the definitive form, the tubular body containing the open filling opening; fixing the pr...

The present light-weight material contains expanded perlite, alkali silicates and optionally added hardeners for aqueous alkali silicates, wherein said expanded perlite has a grain of from 0.8 to 6 mm, a hydrophobizing agent is present, the bulk densities are in the range of from 60 to 500 kg/m3.

The workpiece is rotated in the lathe spindle casing and crosscutting is carried out using a cutting tool synchronized with the spindle angle. Programming of the lathe is carried out in steps by combining commands for alternating values for diameter, length and/or feed. - Independent claims are also included for (a) the use of this process for cutting special threading into screw-fit artificial hi...
