Abstract: The invention relates to a lock cylinder comprising a cylinder housing (2) and a cylinder core (6), rotatably mounted in the latter, said core having a key channel (7) for inserting a key (9). Conventionally, the rotational motion of the cylinder core is locked by means of a tumbler element that traverses the rotating joint (F) between the cylinder core (6) and cylinder housing (2). According to the invention, the tumbler element is configured as a locking part that can be shifted from a lock position into a release position in the direction of insertion of the key, said locking part co-operating with a motion transfer member (17) that can be displaced transversally in relation to the direction of insertion of the key, during the shift from the lock position into the release position. The motion transfer member is a pin, which can be brought out of an inactive position that corresponds with the lock position of the locking part into an active position that permits the displacement of the locking part (33) into the release position by the insertion of the key (9).

Abstract: Des cires préparées à partir d'huiles végétales hydrogénées, telles que des huiles de palme et de soja, sont utilisées pour rendre des plaques de plâtre résistantes à l'eau. Contrairement à des cires dérivées du pétrole utilisées dans le même but, des cires d'origine végétale sont renouvelables et facilement transformées en des formes telles que des émulsions ou des poudres facilitant leur incorporation lors de la fabrication de plaques de plâtre. De tels matériaux résistant à l'eau sont caractérisés par des propriétés accrues de barrière d'humidité. Les compositions présentent un faible indice d'iode (compris entre 2-5), et des points de fusion de l'ordre de 120-185 degrés F (point de goutte Mettler). La cire comprend un triglycéride dont les acides gras sont principalement des acides stéariques (en C18). La composition est utilisée comme additif dans la fabrication de plaques de plâtre résistant à l'eau.

Abstract: A method and a device are provided for detecting the occurrence of a malfunction upon movement of an element by a driving system. While the element is being moved, a difference between a predetermined value and an actual value is determined at regular intervals by means of a processor. A derivative of the difference is determined by the processor at regular intervals. The difference and the derivative both fluctuate around an equilibrium value. Subsequently, only the values on one side of the equilibrium value of both the difference and the derivative are sampled. The sampled values are multiplied and the result is compared with a reference value by means of the processor. The occurrence of a malfunction is established if the result of the multiplication is higher than the reference value.

Abstract: A method is provided for cleaning a membrane surface or maintaining a clean outside surface of a membrane during a process of outside-in membrane separation to remove suspended solids from a liquid phase. The method involves applying pressurized gas pulses to the membrane surface with individual pulse lengths of about 0.1 to 10 seconds. The pulses may be injected singularly with an interval of about 10 to 1000 seconds between pulses for a total duration of about 0.1 to 1000 hours. Alternatively, the pulses may be injected in clusters of about 2 to 100 pulses with an interval of 50-300% of the pulse length between individual pulses for a total duration of about 10 to 1000 seconds. In a preferred embodiment, both types of pulsation methods are combined in a particular sequence. The expanding gas directed toward the membrane surface in the course of one pulse dissipates energy of up to about 40 kJ/m3. One embodiment of the cleaning method involves backwashing the membrane with a permeate and applying the pressurized gas pulses during the filtration and/or backwashing steps of a filtration cycle.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency,  i.e.,  the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided. Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special <NEXT> key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device.
