A telephone comprises a camera, a display and processing and communication circuitry. The camera is located in a first body part of the telephone and the display is located in a second body part of the telephone. The body parts are joined via a tilt and swivel hinge, which allows movement of the body parts between at least a first and a second position relative to each other. The first relative position is such that the camera and the display are facing in a first direction. The second relative position is such that the camera and the display are facing in substantially different directions. The hinge can actuate electric switching means connected to the circuitry in the telephone when allowing movement of the body parts between the two positions relative to each other. The processing and communication circuitry is configured to detect the actuation of the electric switching means.

In a telephone terminal an incoming call is detected from a calling entity followed by determining a caller identity of the calling entity. Then it is determined whether the caller identity is associated with a subscription to presence information associated with the calling entity, where the presence information includes media data for output through an output unit in the telephone terminal. If the caller identity was determined to be associated with a subscription to presence information, it is determined whether the media data is present in the terminal, and if the media data is present in the terminal, the media data is output through an output unit in the telephone terminal.

The invention relates to a device for diverting the flight of birds in order to prevent collisions with overhead wires and cables, such as high-voltage lines. The inventive device comprises a system for fixing same to overhead wires and cables, from which a central body is suspended. The fixing system enables the device to be mounted to or removed from overhead wires and cables of different diameters manually by one person. The diversion device comprises a modular construction, thereby facilitating the transport thereof and the replacement of any part if necessary. Once assembled, the volume of the device is greater than that of the individual parts. All of the device is made form an electrically-insulating polymer material which does not corrode the cables or wires. Moreover, the device can move and the components thereof can have different colors in order to render same more visible. In addition, the components of the device are perforated such as to have low wind resistance.

Provided are methods for extraction of various agents, e.g. active agent, from a plant source, specifically with the use of extraction formulations which are based on micellar liquid systems.

A backlash-free planetary gear assembly comprising at least a first planet carrier member (4) and a second planet carrier member (5), which are rotatable relative to each other around the axis (7) of said assembly, and are connected by elastic means (10, 14) arranged to elastically react to a rotation between said planet carrier members, said elastic means being tensioned when said first member and second member are rotationally aligned in a design operation condition, so that the assembly, in use, is preloaded with a torque which tends to rotate said first planet carrier member relative to said second planet carrier member, in order to recover backlash.

Multimodal optical spectroscopy systems and methods produce a spectroscopic event to obtain spectroscopic response data from biological tissue and compare the response data with preset criteria configured to correlate the measured response data and the most probable attributes of the tissue, thus facilitating classification of the tissue based on those attributes for subsequent biopsy or remedial measures as necessary.

[Problems] To provide a novel mixture for assaying a target nucleic acid, characterized by enabling a nucleic acid assay while: 1) requiring no step of diluting the target nucleic acid; 2) requiring no procedure of changing a probe concentration depending on a concentration of the target nucleic acid.[Means for Solving Problems] 1) A mixture which comprises one internal standard nucleic acid and two nucleic acid probes labeled with a fluorescent dye; 2) a mixture for measuring Km value which comprises one internal standard nucleic acid having a partial mutation and one nucleic acid probe labeled with a fluorescent dye; 3) a mixture which comprises one internal standard nucleic acid and one double nucleic acid probe labeled with two fluorescent dyes; and a method for assaying a nucleic acid by making use thereof.

Multimodal optical spectroscopy systems and methods produce a spectroscopic event to obtain spectroscopic response data from biological tissue, either ex vivo or in vivo, and compare the response data with a model configured to correlate the measured response data and the most probable attributes of the tissue, thus facilitating classification of the tissue based on those attributes.

The invention relates to a gear train unit, comprising a plurality of planetary gear train stages, which are connected one after the other and which each comprise a ring gear, a sun gear, and a plurality of planet gears supported on a planet carrier, wherein the sun gear of each following planetary gear train stage is formed by the planet carrier of the preceding planetary gear train stage. The gear train unit comprises a driving element, which forms the sun gear of the first planetary gear train stage, and an output element, which forms the planet carrier of the last of the gear planetary gear train stages connected one after the other. The driving element is supported by means of first bearings arranged in the region of ends of the driving element, in such a way that the driving element can rotate about a longitudinal axis of the driving element, and at least some of the planet carriers of the planetary gear train stages are supported on the driving element in the region between the first bearings by means of bearings. The invention makes it possible to provide a gear train unit having a plurality of planetary gear train stages connected one after the other that is economical, extremely robust, and very compact and that additionally can transmit very high power.

The pelletizing agent is selected from the group consisting of cellulose, chitosan, collagen, polyacrylamide and co-polymers of polyacrylamide and polyacrylics, polyamines, polyvinylalcohols, polysaccharides, lactic acid, methacrylic acid, methacrylate, hydroxyethyl, ethylene glycol, ethylene oxide, acrylic acid, inorganic flocculants and inorganic coagulants.

The present invention is a portable air purifier device intended to be attached to the belt or to the neck of the user and generate purified air enough to breath easily and adequate to make an air curtain to push a way ambient air. Principle of the operation of this device is to push inlet polluted air through layers of ionized water. Water will absorb particles and copper and silver ion kills possible air born bacteria and produce clean air. The purified air will be then delivered to the face of the user either by a flexible hose to a mask or through several flexible hoses to form an air curtain in front of a user's face.

An arrangement for handling control signal messaging in a distributed system comprising a number of sending nodes and a number of receiving nodes and implementing a control signaling communication protocol. The sending and / or the receiving node is adapted to send and / or receive the current message as a compressed message comprising only the difference portion between a selected or preferred previous message and the current message and the unique identity of said previous message.
