A method is provided of operating an adsorption refrigeration system. The system comprises a primary adsorption pump which is arranged in communication with a primary chamber containing coolant, a secondary adsorption pump and a high fluid impedance conduit which places the secondary adsorption pump and primary chamber into communication. The method comprises saturating the primary and secondary adsorption pumps with coolant whilst each pump is at its respective operational temperature. The pumps are then heated above their operational temperatures to desorb the coolant such that the coolant pressure in the primary chamber and the secondary adsorption pump substantially equalises through the conduit whilst the primary chamber is cooled. The secondary adsorption pump is then cooled causing coolant gas to be adsorbed and therefore a reduction in temperature and pressure of the coolant in the primary chamber is effected. The primary adsorption pump is then cooled to an operational temperature causing adsorption of the coolant and therefore a reduction in temperature and pressure of the coolant in the primary chamber.

An epoxide based composition that can be cured at a temperature of less than about 70 C is disclosed. The composition is a liquid at ambient conditions and, therefore, can be used to rehabilitate the interior surfaces of pipelines. The epoxide-based composition comprises at least one epoxide component (component A) and at least one curing agent component (component B) wherein

• • (A) the epoxide component comprises a phenyl glycidyl ether polyepoxide; and

In its preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a game concept that combines different guessing techniques in a way that lets players choose the technique they wish to perform. Players are being given an opportunity to make their teammates guess several answers, and their total time for doing so is limited. Players therefore must make strategic choices regarding the technique they wish to use to make their teammates guess each answer. The game kit would typically include cards (FIG. 1) indicating an answer to be guessed (1), as well as a predetermined list of points (3) attributed to different guessing techniques (2). This card contents is intended to give the opportunity to a player to choose amongst the different techniques (2) in order to make his teammates guess the answer (1). If successful, he will obtain the predetermined number of points corresponding to the technique chosen (3) as listed on the card. In a typical round of play, a player would be provided with a determined amount of cards and would attempt to make his teammates guess the answers on these cards within a determined amount of time. For each answer to be guesses, the player would have the choice of the technique he wishes to perform. More difficult techniques for a given card give more points, but also usually take longer to perform, giving the player less time for the other cards to be performed. An important feature of the game is for the players to manage their time and choose their techniques wisely, in order to get the most points out of their cards before the time is up.

The invention relates to an energy supply device with at least one fuel cell and to a method for operating at least one energy supply device with at least one fuel cell, which has at least one anode that can be supplied with a fuel and at least one cathode that can be supplied with ambient air for generating electrical energy. The proposed energy supply device has a converter device.

An attachment to an e-mail message is replaced with a URL before that message is delivered to an end user, thus providing more time to perform a better scan at a cloud server computer. The attachment is removed from the e-mail message and sent to the cloud server computer for a dynamic scan and a static scan which will likely include updates better able to detect malicious software. The e-mail message with the URL is delivered to the end user and there is a delay before the end user reads the message or attempts to open the attachment. An artificial delay may be introduced at an e-mail gateway before the message is delivered to the end-user. If the attachment is benign then the end user is allowed to download it via the URL; if the attachment is malicious then the end user is only given a warning message.
