Abstract: The invention provides a kit to built up a tankless toilet (1). The kit comprises  a western-style toilet body (2); a toilet seat/toilet lid device (4) mounted on the western-style toilet body (2); a separate-type toilet flushing device (7) that is intended to be mounted on the toilet body (2) separately from the toilet seat/toilet lid device (4); and a unitary-type toilet flushing device that is intended to be mounted on the toilet body integrally with the toilet seat/toilet lid device.  Thus, the user may decide whether he prefers a unitary-type toilet flushing device that is easier to clean or a separate-type toilet flushing device that allows free selection of the flushing device when replacement is needed due to disfunctioning of the originally built-in flushing device without replacing the toilet seat/toilet lid device. Furthermore, the same toilet body can be used with both toilet flushing devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An anchoring system for securing an elongate medical article having a first branch and a second branch arranged in a Y-configuration, comprising an anchor pad having an upper surface and a lower surface, at least a portion of the lower surface being formed with an adhesive layer, and a retainer disposed on the upper surface of the anchor pad. <??>The retainer comprises a base having a groove to receive at least a portion of the elongate medical article, and a cover pivotally coupled to the base and movable between an open position in which the groove is exposed and a closed position in which the groove is covered. The cover cooperates with the groove when the cover is in the closed position to define a peripheral boundary of a channel. A post shaped retention mechanism member projects generally normal to the base and is disposed within the channel such that spaces are defined between two opposite sides of the post shaped retention mechanism member and the peripheral boundary of the channel for receiving the first and second branches of the medical article, respectively, the post being adapted to fit between the branches to inhibit longitudinal movement of the medical article in at least one longitudinal direction. The base and the cover include an interengaging structure which releasably secures together the base and the cover in the closed position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A magnetic device to be surface mounted on a substantially planar thermally conductive surface comprises a circuit board containing a winding pattern having at least one winding and a magnetic core that is at least partially encompassing the winding pattern. On a bottom side of the circuit board a region corresponding to a substantial part of the winding pattern is covered by a thermally conductive material for thermally contacting the thermally conductive surface. A transformer arrangement comprises such a magnetic device as well as a thermally clad circuit board having a surface area covered by a thermally conductive material, corresponding to at least substantially the covered region on the bottom side of the circuit board. For assembly, the covered region on the bottom side of the circuit board is soldered to the covered region on the surface of the thermally clad circuit board. The extensive cover and thermal contact to the thermally conductive surface allows for heat transfer from the complete winding area, reducing the total thermal resistance and temperature gradients in the winding structure. The solution is inexpensive and easy to manufacture.

Abstract: The hydraulic control device (20) of the fuel injection valve (10) comprises a pilot valve (70). The pilot valve rod (66) co-operates with both the actuator (18) and the pilot valve seat (68). A discharge chamber (72) is located adjacent to the pilot valve seat (68) and is connected to the low-pressure outlet (76) by means of a throttle passage (74). In order to complete the injection process, the pilot valve rod (66) is inserted into the discharge chamber (72) until it hits the pilot valve seat (68). This leads to an increase in pressure which, in turn, leads to the control body (38) being rapidly lifted from its position on the discharge chamber body (46). The injection valve member (22) is thereby displaced very rapidly into the closing position thereof in order to complete the injection process. The movement of the pilot valve rod (66) can also be mechanically used to support the rapid closing movement of the injection valve member (22).

Abstract: The use of extracts or parts of Pelargonium species plants is claimed in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disease-associated behavioral changes and/or chronic and/or post-viral fatigue syndrome, is new. ACTIVITY : Immunomodulator; Antidepressant; CNS-Gen.; Eating-Disorders-Gen.; Muscular-Gen.; Hypnotic; Tranquilizer; Analgesic. MECHANISM OF ACTION : None given. A dry extract (I) of Pelargonium sidoides roots (obtained in 11% yield by macerating the roots twice with a 7-fold amount of 11 wt.% ethanol at 55 [deg]C) was administered orally to mice, followed an hour later by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 400 Microg/kg. The mice were subjected to exploration behavioral tests for 3 minutes in a light-dark box. The average time spent in the light area was 83 seconds for vehicle-only controls, 134 seconds after treatment with LPS only, 119 seconds after treatment with LPS plus (I) at 100 mg/kg, 104 seconds after treatment with LPS plus (I) at 200 mg/kg and 97 seconds after treatment with LPS plus (I) at 100 mg/kg.
