Abstract: The invention relates to an installation for extinguishing fire, the installation comprising a number of spray heads (330a, 380a), a pipe system (381) for leading extinguishing medium to the spray heads, which spray heads comprise a holder body having an inlet for incoming extinguishing medium and at least one nozzle. In order to be able to use the installation in conditions in which it can be strongly exposed to dirt and impurities and in order that it will not be activated on account of the spray heads of the installation being exposed to impacts or heat not coming from the seat of the fire, the installation is characterized in that the spray heads (330a, 380a) comprise a cover, which is positioned by means of a locking device in a protective position in front of said nozzle when the installation is in an inactive mode and which is, upon activation of the installation, arranged to be displaced to a free position, in which the cover is out of the way of said nozzle, the cover being arranged to be displaced to the free position when a fluid exerts a force against the locking device so that this opens.

Abstract: A process for increasing the tactile properties of a base web without adversely effecting the strength of the web is disclosed. In one embodiment, the process includes the steps of placing a base web between a first moving conveyor and a second moving conveyor. The conveyors are then wrapped around a shear-inducing roll which creates shear forces that act upon the base web. The shear forces disrupt the web, increasing the softness and decreasing the stiffness of the web. The shear-inducing roll typically has a relatively small diameter. In some applications, more than one shear-inducing roll may be incorporated into the system. Base webs made according to the present invention have been found to have improved void-volume and fuzz-on-edge properties.

Abstract: Techniques for deriving bone properties from images generated by a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry apparatus include receiving first image data having pixels indicating bone mineral density projected at a first angle of a plurality of projection angles. Second image data and third image data are also received. The second image data indicates bone mineral density projected at a different second angle. The third image data indicates bone mineral density projected at a third angle. The third angle is different from the first angle and the second angle. Principal moments of inertia for a bone in the subject are computed based on the first image data, the second image data and the third image data. The techniques allow high-precision, high-resolution dual-energy x-ray attenuation images to be used for computing principal moments of inertia and strength moduli of individual bones, plus risk of injury and changes in risk of injury to a patient.
