The present invention relates to a method for handling recoverable material in a logistic chain having a provider (1a) , a first intermediary (1b) and an end user (1c) , wherein a product (2) as well as recoverable material (4, 4b) for which a deposit is set is conveyed from the provider (1a) to the end user (1c) that returns the recoverable material. A first (A) and second step (B) of the logisti...

The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for distributin g channel key data to an endpoint device. In one example, the present inventio n provides channel key data to at least one endpoint device prior to the endpoint devic e being tuned to at least one channel associated with the channel key data. The endpoint device is then informed of the expiration time of the channel key data a...

An inductor assembly includes an inlet configured to receive a forced a ir stream in a path to engage a flow of product so as to generate a combined stream of forced air and product for conveyance to a remote receiver or planting unit for application in an agricultural field. A series of inductor segments each defines a first and a second conduit to communicate the combined stream of forced air an...

An operating wand has a handle, an upper rod connected by an intermediate ro d having one end pivotably attached to the upper end of the handle and the opposite e nd pivotably attached to the lower end of the upper rod. A sleeve slides along the upper rod between a first position and a second position. When in the first position the sleeve covers a portion of the upper rod, the handle, and the int...

The device comprises a flat panel for placing against the supporting surface for the object being hung and a substantially flat hook releasably secured inside a groove in the panel. These grooves extend in the panel length direction and are arranged parallel to each other in the horizontal direction when the panel is placed against the supporting surface. The hook extends in the plane of the panel...

The present invention provides a lighting device that comprises at least one light emitting diode that is adapted for being electrically connected to a power source, and at least one sheet of fabric for covering the at least one light emitting diode. As such, light emitted from the at least one light emitting diode is able to shine through the at least one sheet of fabric.

The sheet-type heating element includes an assembly of first and second insulative sheets and a graphite film. The first and second insulative sheets are connected to each other and are stacked one abov...

Redirection of streaming content is described. In an implementation, a method includes receiving a request at a client from another client, wherein the request is to redirect on-demand content being streamed from a head end to the other client and includes a bookmark that specifies a point in time during an output of the on-demand content by the second client. A communication is formed for being c...

The invention relates to a method for producing biopolymer arrays comprising a porous membrane and bound biopolymers. In particular, said production of biopolymer arrays comprises electrochemical production cycles.

The Solar Magnification Power Generator consists of a twenty foot wide magnifying glass mounted on a gantry which maintains a fixed focal area as it tracks the sun throughout the day and also in its seasonal migrations from sough to north and back. Receptors in the focal area harvest the heat to provide steam which is conducted to turbines for the generation of electricity

A method for transmitting formatted content to a mobile device having a small display screen comprises retrieving a page of formatted content, rendering the page as a graphic such as a JPEG that is sized for display on the small display screen, and transmitting the graphic to the requesting device for display. Hyperlinks are collected and sent with the graphic and are presented as menu options on ...

Organic bonded abrasive tools, having controlled microstructures, comprise a relatively low volume percentage of abrasive grain and a relatively low hardness grade, but are characterized by the excellent mechanical strength and efficient grinding performance of much harder grade, lower porosity tools, especially in versatile grinding processes, such as centerless grinding. A method for centerless ...

The body (1) has at least one guide channel (3) containing a sliding tube (4) which protrudes from this channel to present a support surface (41) for cooperating with a support surface (51) on an implant in the patient or in a patient model. The tube is slid into the desired position and fixed into place by e.g. welding, soldering or adhesive. A body with a bridge shape has two or more of these gu...

The present invention relates to a device for monitoring, preferably arrival monitoring, of a weft, for example a weft thread, in a loom of substantially the type in which the weft is driven through the shed with the aid of a jet, e.g. an air jet, and which has a reed which is built up from a number of vertically disposed slats with spacing and has a longitudinal channel for the weft, first means ...

The invention is a method for thermal insulation of a sensitive electronic measuring device or arrangement used at low temperatures, in which insulation is performed with an active vacuum layer and the distance is controlled by active coupling or optionally passive coupling. The distance control takes place e.g. by feedback coupling, allowing the use of e.g. a piezoelectric actuator for the contro...
