Abstract: The element (1; 1') has an elongated shape and a cross section pre-defined in the longitudinal direction of the element and including a first portion (2; 2'), which, in a mounted position, abuts on a building component, and a second portion with a predetermined dimension between the two portions. In order to adapt the height of the element to the shape of the other building component, i.e. for instance to the profiling of the roof covering, the element (1; 1') is provided with a number of weakening portions in the longitudinal direction at a distance from the first portion (2; 21). The weakening portions can be made as slits or cavities (6', 7', 8'), which makes it possible to cut or tear superfluous parts of the element away along one of the longitudinal weakening portions and thereby reducing the height of the element.

Abstract: Authenticity of digital data, security policies, and usage of game software are enforced on a game console. When the software is secured prior to distribution on media, a private key is used to encrypt a header digest that includes a digest of each section of the software and information specifying a region, a rating, and media type of the software. A hashing algorithm is applied to produce the digests. On the game console, a public key is used to decrypt the header digest for comparison to a hash of the header. A digest of each section of digital data is computed and compared to the corresponding digest in the header to authenticate the data. The console will not execute the software unless the parameters in the header information match those stored in the console and the computed digests for each section match those in the header on the medium.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of purifying recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) from a solution, which method comprises to subject a cell culture supernatant (CCS) comprising rHSA cation exchange on a bimodal high salt tolerant matrix; hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC); anion exchange; and recovering the purified rHSA. The bimodal high salt tolerant cation exchange matrix used enables performing a purification of a cell culture supernatant directly, in the sense that no further dilution thereof is necessary. Due to its high binding capacity, said bimodal cation exchange matrix also allows use of a smaller amount of matrix as compared to a corresponding conventional cation exchanger matrix. Accordingly, the present invention allows substantial savings as regards volumes and consequently operation costs.

Abstract: A phoretic display device comprising a plurality of electrophoretic or magnetophoretic cells, each having a phoretic particle dispersed within a suspension medium comprising a liquid crystal material. The phoretic cell is adapted to induce defects, sometimes known as disclinations, in the alignment of the liquid crystal material within the cell which act to exert a retentive force on the phoretic particle when within the region of influence of the defects. The configuration of the display introduces a threshold level in the electric or magnetic field required to move the phoretic particle between defects within the cell. Accordingly, the non-linear electro-optic or magneto-optic behaviour of the display facilitates matrix addressing of the cells therein. The display may comprise a plurality of prolate spheroid phoretic cells arranged in an encapsulant, the major (long) axis of each cell arranged substantially perpendicular to the plane of the display.
