A computer-implemented method for producing a multi-layer text, including: providing a text, selecting a value of a text dimension to the text segment, wherein a text dimension refers to any desired domain and includes information on one related text layer. The method further includes: repeating the specified operations as many times as desired.

Process for thickening aqueous systems by addition of aqueous suspensions of water-soluble hydrophobically modified polyurethanes, polyacrylates and poly(acetal- or ketal-polyethers) and carbon containing salts.

An automated method and system to form and monitor the performance of a multiple purchase installment contract for retail items. A customer's requirements for a product over a specified time span are first determined by either analyzing that customer's prior purchases or by questioning the customer about his or her usage. A schedule of periodic purchases is then determined to allow the customer to...

Charge applied to motor (2) is controlled by accelerator pedal (14) whose position is detected by sensor (16). Outlet of this sensor and other sensors related to water temperature, etc., are linked to first control unit (18). Second control unit (44) is used to control clutch (4) and gearbox (6). Second control unit controls actuators (46, 48, 50) working with gearbox and clutch. Second control u...

The aim of the invention is a method for making trade more efficient, in which in order to acquire a product, service and/or the like, the customer makes contact Y by means of his data processing apparatus X through a data communication contact with a server A which is in at least one data link connection with a service provider T, whereupon when the contact has been able to select, confirm or pay...

The invention relates to a method for the manufacture and to the use of autoad-justment pastes, which are suitable for the production of unsaturated polyester based gel coats and top coats/enamels, and particularly suitable for the production of automatically coloured unsaturated polyester based gel coats and top coats/enamels and for the adjustment of their curing properties. The autoadjust-ment ...

L'invention concerne un procédé de détection de l'adultération d'un jus de fruit concentré par ajout de sirops de sucres exogènes, selon lequel on procède à une chromatographie capillaire gazeuse du jus de fruit selon une méthode classique précédée d'une préparation et associée à une détection connues en elles-mêmes, procédé qui consiste à retenir dans le chromatogramme du produit les pics rela...

A polymeric fuel additive, a method of making the additive, and a fuel containing the additive are disclosed. The additive is prepared by isothermally mixing an ethoxylated alcohol and an amide, wherein the ethoxylated alcohol comprises at least about 75 weight percent of at least one linear, straight-chain alcohol having a hydrocarbon chain length of about nine to about fifteen carbon atoms, and ...

The invention concerns a device comprising a magnetic driving part (13) and a magnetic driven part (14). The driven part is designed to be set at the bottom of a container (51) containing the liquid to be stirred. The driving part (13) is controlled so as to drive the driven part (14) in rotation by magnetic coupling with the driving part about a predetermined axis of rotation (81). The device is ...

Waste water treatment process that produces little or no excess sludge comprises subjecting waste water to biological treatment in one or more stages, subjecting at least part of the resulting sludge to wet oxidation at 80-200 degrees C and 1-40 bar, and recycling at least part of the oxidized sludge to the biological treatment step. An Independent claim is also included for an installation for ca...

The invention relates to a multipurpose hand device especially comprising utensils. A lift and/or release mechanism (88, 89) is assigned to said utensils (81), enabling them to be placed in a slightly raised position so that they can be grasped easily or locked in a swing-out position.

The homogeneous liquid additive contains a triisopropanolamine and antifoaming agent, and allows the reduction or elimination of increased air in cement compositions. The additive contains 10-40 wt.% of triisopropanolamine, 2-8 wt.% of tributyl phosphate, 2-15% of water, 40-70 wt.% of monoethylene glycol, 5-40 wt.% of triethanolamine, optionally a mixture of mono and diethanolamine and 0-5 wt.% of...

Methods for making contoured solid surface laminates (SSL) are provided where a pre-cured or un-cured SSL is placed in a mold under conditions to impart a contour to the SSL and to allow strains imparted to the SSL during molding to relax. In particular, bath batch and continuous methods for forming contoured SSL are provided.

The present invention provides a method for temporarily storing and retrieving 8-bit character information data for a magnetic disk information storage system in a number of 4xn DRAM buffer memory configurations, characterised by the steps of: providing a virtual memory address for each item of 8-bit character information data, said character information data being organised into a 16-byte block, ...

The prosthesis has an adaptor (13) which can hinge on an axis(11) at the top end(7) of the stem(3), while extending downwards from this axis towards the other stems end(5). The head(17,19) can be turned on a central axis in the adaptor, which can be turned steplessly between angles of 40 and 55 deg. to the stem axis, being lockable in position. On the side furthest from the stem, the adaptor can h...
