Abstract: The invention relates to an inhaler for products such as medicaments, and particularly to an inhaler for transferring to a patient at a controlled air flow a metered dose of a medicament contained in a pressurised dispensing container. 
     An inhaler is provided for dispensing a product comprising a housing adapted to receive a pressurised dispensing container, a mouthpiece, duct means connecting an outlet of the container with the mouthpiece and air inlet means having at least one air inlet for allowing air into the inhaler when a user applies suction to the mouthpiece. The air inlet means further comprises an air flow controller having a component which is movable due to a pressure change when suction is applied to the mouthpiece, the resulting movement effecting a change in the flow of air through the air inlet.

Abstract: A phyllosilicate material is exfoliated by
admixture of the phyllosilicate with water, and a
solvent for a water-insoluble oligomer or polymer
that is sorbed or electrostatically bonded to the
inner surfaces of the phyllosilicate platelets after
exfoliation of the phyllosilicate. Intercalation
and exfoliation can be achieved via contact of the
phyllosilicate with an organic solvent and water to
electrostatically bond one or more polar moieties
from the organic solvent to a metal cation on the
platelet inner surfaces, so that after evaporation
of the water used for intercalation of the organic
solvent between phyllosilicate platelets, the
platelets do not then collapse together, but remain
exfoliated. -After exfoliation of the
phyllosilicate, the exfoliated platelets are
contacted with a polymer/carrier composition that
includes a water-insoluble polymer or water-insoluble
oligomer, and a solvent for the water-insoluble
polymer or oligomer. After exfoliating
the phyllosilicate and prior to polymer contact, the
individual phyllosilicate platelets are contacted
with the polymer/carrier composition to sorb the
water-insoluble polymer or water-insoluble oligomer
onto one or both surfaces of the exfoliated
phyllosilicate platelets and drive off the adhered
solvent.

hole of a garment on a flat knitting machine, said collar having continuous wales. A
front body and a back body of the garment are knitted on first and second needle beds
of the knitting machine. The wale of a collar closest to the body side is transferred
from the front body to the back body, then the wale is moved is moved towards the
neck hole side. Next, said wale is moved further towards the neck hole side, and a
new wale of the collar is transferred onto the needle of the back body before said
move. Each wale of the collar that has been transferred is moved towards the neck
hole side, In a similar manner all the wales of the collar are transferred.

Title: Verfahren und Schaltungsanordnung zur kurzzeitigen Aufrechterhaltung einer Ausgangsspannung bei Ausfällen einer Eingangsspannung mittels eines Autarkiekondensators
Inventor: FENDT GUENTER
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: Um bei derartigen Autarkiekondensatorschaltungen bei konstanter Ladungsmenge eine Verkleinerung der Kapazität zu ermöglichen, wird die Eingangsspannung von einem DC/DC-Aufwärtswandler auf eine höhere Kondensatorspannung transformiert, diese im Autarkiekondensator gespeichert und die Kondensatorspannung von einem DC/DC-Abwärtswandler auf die Ausgangsspannung für das Lastelement transformiert, die kleiner als die Kondensatorspannung ist. Da der DC/DC-Abwärtswandler Kondensatorspannungen bis zum Erreichen der Ausgangsspannung verwerten kann, wird die im Autarkiekondesator (C) verbleibende Restspannung nicht mehr nicht genutzt. Die Autarkiezeitspanne ist entsprechend kurz. Indem im Autarkiefall die Kondensatorspannung auf den Eingang des DC/DC-Aufwärtswandler geschaltet wird, kann dieser die im Laufe der Autarkiezeitspanne absinkende Kondensatorspannung aufwärts transformieren und am Ausgang eine nahezu konstante Spannung aufrechterhalten, die der DC/DC-Abwärtswandler dann in die Ausgangsspannung transformiert. Der Autarkiekondesator kann tiefer entladen und die Autarkiezeitspanne deutlich verlängert werden. Verfahren und Schaltungsanordnung sind insbesondere zur Versorgung von elektronischen Baugruppen in Kraftfahrzeugen geeignet, da bei diesen ausgehend von einer relativ niedrigen Eingangsspannung sich der Einsatz von DC/DC-Wandlern besonders vorteilhaft erweist. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The arrangement has at least one disc stack and associated magazine with parallel threaded spindles arranged about the circumference of the discs and extending over the entire stack length so that the disc edges sit loosely in the thread paths. The discs are moved along the stack axis by spindle rotation to a desired position in which they are extracted by a manipulator and transported to a defined position. For a single stack design the spindles have a greater pitch and thread depth in a central region for a constant core dia. than in the input and output regions. For multi-stack arrangements the opposite applies, but in both cases the peak dia. is matched to the pitch.

Filed: 1998-05-21
Abstract: A method for detecting fraud in a wireless communication system (100). During a first
access to the system using a subscriber account, the system stores data identifying the
first access in a database. During a second subsequent access to the system using the
same subscriber account, the system retrieves the stored data identifying the first access
and transmits at least a portion of the retrieved data to the wireless device used for the
second access. The user of the device reviews the data, determines whether the first
access was authorized, and sends a response to the system indicative of whether the first
access was fraudulent. If the response indicates that the first access may have been
fraudulent, the wireless service provider may take appropriate action.
