Abstract: The invention concerns a mounting and anti-rotation device (mounting aid) (1) for roller tappets of a valve train of an internal combustion engine in which gas exchange valves are activated by roller tappets. The roller tappets comprising a substantially cylindrical tappet body are retained in receptions (7, 8) of the mounting aid (1) that is made of plastic. With the help of opposing parallel anti-rotation surfaces that are arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the roller tappet and are disposed on the end of the tappet body that is oriented away from a roller, the roller tappets are guided secured against rotation in the mounting aid during the operation of the internal combustion engine. This is achieved by the fact that the inner profile of the receptions (7, 8) is matched to the outer profile of the roller tappets. To avoid mixing up the switchable with the non-switchable roller tappets during assembly, the distances between the anti-rotation surfaces on the different roller tappets, and thus also the inner contours of the corresponding receptions (7, 8) are chosen so as to differ markedly from each other. To achieve the correct orientation of the switchable roller tappets, for example, relative to an oil gallery, the anti-rotation surfaces of the switchable roller tappets and the corresponding receptions (8) of the mounting aid (1) are arranged asymmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the tappet body and comprise a groove (32) or a rib (35), respectively.

Abstract: A recommendation network is described. The recommendation network may include, but is not limited to, users or entities (“recommendation sources,”) that explicitly or implicitly recommend, rate or refer items and users or entities that receive recommendations or referrals (“recommendation receivers,”). Users who make recommendations can create multiple recommendation sources, using different recommendation sources for different purposes, by assigning different recommendations to different recommendation sources. The recommendation network allows recommendation receiver to assign relative trust ratings to recommendation sources, the relative trust rating representing the recommendation receiver's confidence that the recommendation source, compared to other recommendation sources, makes recommendations the recommendation receiver considers valuable. The relative trust ratings can be ordinal or cardinal values that can be used by the network algorithm to filter and rank items for the recommendation receiver. The network may rank items for the recommendation receiver based on the number of recommendation source referencing the item and the relative trust rating the recommendation receiver has assigned to those recommendation sources. By ranking items for each recommendation receiver according to the a ranking algorithm that uses the relative trust ratings the recommendation receiver has assigned to those recommendation source, the network allows the recommendation receiver to receive recommendations for items in the form of a ranked list, the items being ranked by the degree they are recommended by the recommendation receiver's trusted recommendation sources. By allowing the recommendation receiver to assign relative trust ratings to different recommendation source, and by ranking and displaying recommendations by the degree to which they are recommended to the recommendation receiver, the network allows users to subscribe to, or receive, recommendations from a limitless number of recommendation sources without being overwhelmed. The network prioritizes the recommendations for an recommendation receiver by the parameters the recommendation receiver establishes, imposing order on a potentially-limitless number of pushed recommendations. According to an embodiment of the invention, a recommendation receiver can be a recommendation source, and can create recommendation sources, for themselves or other recommendation receivers. The recommendation receiver may explicitly or implicitly recommend items as a recommendation source, and can also recommend other recommendation sources, or re-label other recommendation sources, or rate multiple recommendation sources and combine them, to create new recommendation sources. Besides combining multiple recommendation sources to create a new recommendation source, recommendation receivers can create new recommendation sources by restricting the new recommendation source to include only those recommendations, from one or more existing recommendation sources, that share or avoid particular characteristics. The new recommendation sources may in turn be used by the recommendation receiver, or other recommendation receivers. Other recommendation receivers can assign relative trust values to the new recommendation sources. Therefore, by interpreting or reinterpreting received recommendation sources to create new recommendation sources, then by recommending those new recommendation sources, the recommendation receiver provides more information, which helps other recommendation receivers to identify valuable recommendations and information about items.

Abstract: A detector system that contains two inlet port coupled to a photoionization chamber. One inlet port allows for the introduction of a test sample. The test sample may contain contaminants, drugs, explosive, etc. that are to be detected. The other port allows for the simultaneous introduction of a standard sample. The standard sample can be used to calibrate and/or diagnose the detector system. Simultaneous introduction of the standard sample provides for real time calibration/diagnostics of the detector during detection of trace molecules in the test sample. The photoizonizer ionizes the samples which are then directed into a mass detector for detection of trace molecules. The detector system may also include inlet embodiments that allow for vaporization of liquid samples introduced to a low pressure photoionizer.

Abstract: The present invention has been developed to improve the way a payload support platform, such as a mole, is driven between one site and another, particularly when the second site is the interior of a Lift which interfaces with a Pallet Handling System (PHS) of a ship. In a first aspect the invention proposes that the driving means which drives the payload support platform along a rail (10) is also used to move that rail (10) relative to the payload support platform and a support rail (22) so that the position of the rail can be changed during the movement of the payload support platform between one site and another. The payload support platform is lockable to the support rail (22), such that the force which drives the payload support platform along the rail (10) changes to driving the rail (10) relative to the support rail (22). In a second independent aspect of the invention the movable rail (10) is mounted in the gap between ends of fixed rails (62, 82) and is movable along a support rail (22) on which it is mounted between a position in which one end of the movable rail (10) is adjacent an end of one of the fixed rails (62, 82) to another position in which the other end of the movable rail (10) is adjacent the end of the other fixed rail (62,82).
