The invention relates to a device to protect spaces from damage caused by damp or moisture, i.e., moisture-related damage, based on controlled heating or controlled heating in combination with controlled ventilation. The heating is controlled on the basis of a comparison of the climate in the space - temperature, air humidity and how these vary over time - and the risk of moisture-related damage i...

One aspect of the present invention is concerned with a composition comprising caramelised carbohydrate, which composition, when dissolved in water at a dry solids content of 0.1 wt. %, exhibits: i. an absorption at 280 nm (A₂₈₀) that exceeds 0.01, preferably exceeds 0.05, more preferably exceeds 0.1 and most preferably exceeds 0.3; and ii. an absorption ratio A_280/560 of at ...

The present invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring a system such as a cable. Pulses propagating in different directions are distinguished by measuring and sampling current and voltage at a location of the system, frequency transforming the obtained signals, and by extracting signals corresponding to pulses propagating in different directions as linear combinations of the frequen...

The method involves receiving an input spectrum with a set of channels, and performing a coarse scan of the channels to determine occupied candidate channels and vacant candidate channels, where the scan is related to a resolution bandwidth and a frequency sweep increment. A fine scan of the channels is performed to determine actually occupied channels and actually vacant channels, where the fine ...

It is provided a solution for selecting the length of a transmission time interval for high-speed packet radio communications between a base station and a mobile station. The length of the transmission time interval used in data transfer is selected on the basis of channel conditions between the mobile station and the base station. An average value for a channel quality metric representing the cha...

Provided are a contactless communication tag, a portable tag reader, and a method of providing genuineness of a product. The tag reader specifies an encryption key corresponding to an encryption key stored in the tag from its own plurality of encryption keys based on a signal received from the tag. The tag reader receives an encrypted product code or product information from the tag and decrypts t...

Provided are a mobile communication terminal having a tag read function and a method of providing genuine product authentication service. The mobile communication terminal having the tag read function specifies an encryption key corresponding to an encryption key stored in the tag from its own plurality of encryption keys based on a signal received from the tag. The mobile communication terminal r...

A rotor vane/blade has a noise-porous surface layer which at least partly covers one surface of the rotor blade, at least one reactive acoustic element arranged under the noise-porous surface layer, and a resistive sound damping layer arranged between the noise-porous surface layer and the at least one reactive acoustic element.

To provide a method to carry out complicated surface machining such as graining or the like without decreasing machining accuracy and machining efficiency. In a machine tool including a main spindle head capable of relatively moving in three perpendicular directions with respect to a workpiece and an additional spindle being provided at the main spindle head and capable of moving in a Z spindle di...

The fastening device has a case in which a wheel bearing is defined on an end of an axis and has a cap provided on the housing. On the other end of the axle is an attached storage gear. The cap (9) is axially inserted into the housing (1). Between the housing (1) and cap, a rotation (13) is provided. The rotation is provided by a lug type protrusion arrangement.

The invention refers to a package (1) comprising a rigid or semi-rigid flat support (3), possibly perimetrically provided with walls (9) and with a raised edge (7), a first flexible plastic film (4) coupled to the support (3) at a face thereof, such first plastic film (4) being a film which can be peeled from the support (3), a food product (2) arranged on such face of the support (3), a second pl...

This invention relates to a tool for use on machines designed for polishing tiles, marble and the like. In particular it relates to a tool designed to be fitted to machines of known type equipped with a rotating head on which multiple smoothing/polishing tools are mounted, including tools of the aforesaid type. In detail, said tool comprises an annular support plate (1) to which are attached a n...
