Abstract: The invention is an optical reader having a 2D image sensor that is configured to operate in a partial frame capture mode. In a partial frame operating mode, the reader clocks out and captures at least one partial frame of image data having image data corresponding to less than all of the pixels of an image sensor pixel array. In one embodiment, the reader operating in a partial frame operating mode captures image data corresponding to a linear pattern of pixels of the image sensor, reads the image data, attempts to decode for a decodable 1D symbol which may be represented in the image data, and captures a full frame of image data if the image data reading reveals a 2D symbol is likely to be present in a full field of view of the 2D image sensor.

Abstract: A room temperature tempering installation comprises a pipe system for liquid transfer media, in particular water, laid in the area of a room-limiting heat transfer surface, in particular floor, ceiling or wall surface. The room temperature tempering installation can be used both for heating and cooling purposes. It comprises at least one thermostat valve (26) arranged in a branch of the pipe system, the valve having a valve seat arranged in a pipe branch control part, and a valve tappet impinged upon by an expandable substance against the force of an adjustment spring. The thermostat valve (26) further contains a setting indicator (28) which can be adjusted between a lower and an upper limit stop and acts upon the adjustment spring so as to adjust the set room temperature, and comprises a value scale (30) corresponding in heating operation to the set room temperature between a minimum temperature and a maximum temperature. In heating operation, a heat transfer medium with a flow temperature above a set room temperature is applied to the pipe system. According to the invention, a heat transfer medium with a flow temperature below the room temperature can be applied to the pipe system in an optionally adjustable cooling operation. In that case, the setting indicator (28) has a top setting position (K) in the value scale (30) for the cooling operation, which at the same times defines an increased limit temperature (36°C) of the thermostat valve (26), in comparison with the maximum temperature, in heating and cooling operations. These measures make it possible to use the thermostat valve (26) in cooling operation without any constructional modifications. All that is necessary is to extend the value scale (30) and hence the temperature range upwards, beyond the maximum temperature (pos. 5) hitherto defined by a stop.

Abstract: The invention relates to the manufacture of high purity silicon as a base material for the production of e.g. crystalline silicon solar cells. SiCU is converted to Si metal by contacting gaseous SiCU with liquid Zn, thereby obtaining a Si-bearing alloy and Zn-chloride, which is separated. The Si-bearing alloy is then purified at a temperature above the boiling point of Zn. This process does not require complicated technologies and preserves the high purity of the SiCU towards the end product, as the only reactant is Zn, which can be obtained in very high purity grades and continuously recycled.

Abstract: The method is applied to configure, reconfigure and monitor globally a plurality of network elements (NE1, . . . , NEi, . . . , NEj, . . . , NEN) connected to an IP Network (10) through multiple interfaces (A1, . . . , AN), with several Network Elements Controllers (NEC1, . . . , NECk, . . . , NECQ) connected to the same IP Network (10) through respective interfaces (B1, . . . , BQ). The IP Network (10) also provides a plurality of preconfigured IP functional interfaces (Cik) from each network element (NEi) to the at least one network elements controller (NECk). Each network element (NEi) has an IP networking layer (9) and runs/executes several network-related processes (P1, . . . , PL) managed and monitored by this method. The method also provides configuration and monitoring of IP interfaces (Dij) among network elements. The existing IP functional interfaces (Cik) are used to perform such managing and monitoring. To get these aims, the method performs high-level actions instead of atomic “get/set” operations. Neither the method neither requires explicit agents-manager paradigm nor depends on a particular communication protocol for network management.
