摘要:
A pourer which may be used for concurrently pouring dark and white liqueurs from adjacent containers of a bottle. The pourer has a main pourer body with pourer body sections which is engagable, for example by snap fitting, with the respective container. Each pourer body section has a liquid passageway which extends from a liquid inlet to a pouring outlet. The liquid passageways include upstanding portions extending into the containers and separate upper bend portions leading to the outlets. The angle between the longitudinal axes of the outlets is approximately 120.degree. for concurrent pouring of the liquids to opposite sides of a glass. Separate air passageways extend from air inlet parts to air outlets. The air flow is controlled by an air pot over each outlet. The air pots are sized and positioned so that fluid does not enter the air passageways on pouring and only air is forced up the air passageways on finishing pouring.
摘要:
A method for checking the authenticity of a security article of the type containing magnetic particles having a magnetic saturation field Hs being greater than 100 A/m. The method includes the following steps: (a) generating an alternating field of one or more fundamental frequencies; (b) subjecting an article to be detected to the field; (c) detecting a detection signal emanating from the article to be detected; and (d) examining the detection signal for the presence of any particular higher harmonics of the fundamental frequencies or of any linear combination of the fundamental frequencies and of the harmonics, the particular harmonics or the linear combination being indicative of the presence of the magnetic particles. The method is applied at point of transaction locations, where the article to be detected is brought into close proximity with a sensor.
摘要:
A method and system for analyzing audio (eg. music) tracks. A predictive model of the neuro-physiological functioning and response to sounds by one or more of the human lower cortical, limbic and subcortical regions in the brain is described. Sounds are analyzed so that appropriate sounds can be selected and played to a listener in order to stimulate and/or manipulate neuro-physiological arousal in that listener. The method and system are particularly applicable to applications harnessing a biofeedback resource.
摘要:
A system and method for assessing the risk to information resources that may include the generation and/or use of a security risk index. The security risk index may represent the security of information resources. The security risk index may be based on at least one factor. The at least one factor may be individually quantified. The at least one factor may include a threat factor associated with a rate or frequency of security events that threaten the security of the information resources, a vulnerability factor associated with a likelihood of a security event breaching the security of the information resources, an impact factor associated with an expected cost of a breach of the security of the information resources, or another type of factor. The security risk index of a subset of information resources including at least one resource may enable various comparisons and observations with respect to the security of the subset of information resources. The security risk index may be updated for a variety of reasons, such as, to be kept current, or for another reason.

摘要:
A fire barrier device for use in a slab of settable material such as concrete, the fire barrier device being moulded integrally from a heat reactive expandable material and having a main body and a mounting flange for mounting the device to formwork defining one side of the slab during the construction of the slab. The fire barrier device has a reduced diameter region between the main body and mounting flange so that it will be retained within the slab. The main body may also include one or more grooves in its outer surface for cooperation with the material of the slab.
摘要:
Apparatus for detecting the presence of magnetic elongated particles in a substrate, the base material of the substrate having magnetic properties substantially differing from the corresponding magnetic properties of the elongated particles. The elongated particles have such a long and thin form that their demagnetization factor N is smaller than {fraction (1/250)}, they have a diameter smaller than 30 micrometer, and they a magnetic saturation field greater than 100 A/m. Apparatus includes an emitter which emits an electromagnetic source signal of one or more particular base frequencies to the substrate (e.g., so that any magnetic elongated particles present go into a non-linear part of a B-H curve for at least part of cycle of the source signal). Apparatus also includes a detector that detects an electromagnetic detection signal emanating from the substrate for examining the detection signal for the presence of particular higher harmonics of the base frequencies or of any linear combination of the base frequencies or of the harmonics, particular higher harmonics being indicative of the presence of the magnetic elongated particles.
摘要:
A penetration unit (10) for a concrete slab including a hollow housing (28) open at one end for receiving a service line or pipe (27), and provided at its other end with an enlarged opening surrounded by an annular flange (36) which enables connection of the housing (28) to formwork (37) defining the boundary the concrete slab. The housing (28) defines a hollow space (29) in which the service line or pipe terminates and may be connected to a further line or pipe such as an elbow (31). A puddle flange (32) may be located about the service line or pipe (27) and engage the housing (28). Intumescent material may be located in the hollow space surrounding the pipe or line (27).

A method for distinguishing between a semi-soft magnetic material, having a magnetic saturation field H sub s ranging from 100A/m to 3000 A/m, and a soft magnetic material, having a magnetic saturation field H sub s ranging from 3 A/m to 100 A/m, includes (a) emitting an electromagnetic drive signal of one or more particular frequencies to an article so that any present semi-soft magnetic material or soft magnetic material in the article go into saturation for both positive and negative magnetic fields; (b) detecting an electromagnetic detection signal (20) emanating from the article; (c) measuring time or relative phase delays (A, B) between one or more reference points of the drive signal and points at which positive and negative peaks of the detection signal occur; (e) comparing the measured time or relative phase delays with values which are typical for semi-soft magnetic or soft magnetic features in order to make a decision whether the material is soft magnetic or semi-soft magnetic.

摘要:
An inhalation device for use with an inhaler is disclosed. The device includes a dispersion chamber constructed for fluid communication with the inhaler and a suction chamber of variable internal volume in fluid communication with the dispersion chamber. The internal volume of the suction chamber can be increased during use, producing a negative pressure in the dispersion chamber, thereby drawing a substance to be inhaled from the inhaler into the dispersion chamber for subsequent inhalation.
