Abstract: A panel-shaped loudspeaker comprising a panel ( 1 ) having a first main surface ( 1 A) and a second main surface ( 1 B) parallel to the first main surface and further comprising an exciter ( 3 ) positioned at the first main surface. When the exciter is energized the panel is capable of sustaining bending waves and has a distribution of resonant modes of its natural bending wave vibration, which results in an acoustic radiation. The loudspeaker has a tuning element ( 17 ) extending near the second main surface of the panel and positioned opposite the exciter so as to form a resonant cavity ( 18 ) between the panel and the exciter.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of the collision of matter and antimatter as a means of propulsion in a spacecraft, to the control system for said engine and to a block diagram of the connections for same, in which all of the functions are divided into modules. Said invention refers to a form of propulsion that is totally different to those known at present, which enables spacecraft to move considerably faster in outer space and to reach up to one third of the speed of light owing to the controlled collision of matter and antimatter. The control system works in conjunction with the engine in order to control the collision and to maintain the optimal parameters for performing said movement.

Abstract: A hair removing apparatus (1) comprising two co-operating hair processing members (17, 19), formed by plate-shaped carriers and movable relatively to each other in a direction of movement (X). The two carriers are positioned with respect to each other, viewed in a Z direction substantially perpendicular to the carriers, by a plurality of positioning members (29), which are spaced apart in the direction of movement. At least one of the two carriers has a comparatively low bending stiffness. As a result, a comparatively small and uniform gap is present between the two carriers, and the friction force acting on the carriers in a direction parallel to the direction of movement is also comparatively small. In one embodiment the positioning members (29) each have an S-shaped or C-shaped tongue (31), which is provided on a third carrier (35), the first and second carriers (21, 27) being enclosed between the third carrier and contact elements (41) of the tongues.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to increase PHEX activity to improve the osteogenic process in a mammal where this process has been diminished due to pathology or a condition that require osteogenesis. Osteocalcin is an endogenous inhibitor of the PHEX activity. Therefore, the identification of a substance capable of potentiating PHEX activity by preventing the inhibitory action of endogenous inhibitors will improve osteogenesis. Since PHEX is generally associated with the growth plane of bone or teeth and the absence of osteocalcin is associated with increased bone mass, potentiation of PHEX activity can promote bone growth. Increased PHEX activity can also be obtained by administration of the enzyme itself.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a discrete particle for subsequent analysis (such as mass spectrometry) or manipulation is disclosed. A discrete particle is generated by a particle generator. A net charge is induced onto the particle by an induction electrode. The particle is delivered to a levitation device where it is then electrodynamically levitated. If the particle is a droplet, desolvation will occur, leading to Coloumbic fissioning of the droplet into smaller droplets. The movement of the levitated droplet(s) can be manipulated by an electrode assembly. The droplet(s), and the charge thereon, can be delivered to a mass spectrometer in one aspect of the invention, providing an ion source for mass spectrometry without the detrimental space charge effects of electrospray ionization techniques. In another aspect of the invention, the levitated particle(s) may be controllably and precisely deposited onto a plate for subsequent analysis by matrix assisted laser desorption and ionization mass spectrometry.

Abstract: The invention features, in general, a foaming product that includes a container (12), a valve stem (16) extending upward from the top of the container, a nozzle member (42), and a waste product containment region (32) located above the top of the container. The valve stem (16) is movable downward to permit discharge of the foaming product from the container through the stem. The nozzle member (42) includes a flow passage (54) for directing the foaming product from the top of the valve stem to a discharge outlet (58) and a movable portion (48; 48) that is movable between a discharge position and an inactive position. When the movable portion is in the discharge position, the valve stem is actuated to permit discharge of product into the flow passage and out of the discharge outlet, and the flow passage does not communicate with the containment region. When the movable portion is in the inactive position, the valve is not actuated, and the flow passage communicates with the waste product containment region such that undischarged foaming product in the flow channel is directed to the waste product containment region.
