A removable manifold for a medical / surgical waste collection system. The manifold is dimensioned to be mounted to a receiver integral with the system. The manifold includes a driver for engaging a complementary valve internal to the receiver. The valve regulates flow between the receiver and the down line components of the waste collection system. The valve is normally closed. When the manifold is fitted to the receiver the driver engages the valve so as move the valve to the open position. This allows fluid flow from the manifold and receiver to the downstream components of the system.

The invention relates to a method and device (10) for controlling the injection of reducing agent upstream from a catalyst (4) in an exhaust line (2) from a combustion engine. According to the invention, the injection of reducing agent in the exhaust line is controlled on the basis of result of comparison between a calculated accumulation actual value (A1) and a calculated accumulation setpoint value (A2). The invention also relates to a computer program comprising program code for implementing said method, a computer program product comprising a medium which is readable by an electronic control unit and has stored on it a computer program intended to cause an electronic control unit to implement said method, and an electronic control unit.

A sulfonium salt having a triphenylsulfonium cation and a sulfite anion within the molecule is best suited as a photoacid generator in chemically amplified resist compositions. Upon exposure to high-energy radiation, the sulfonium salt generates a sulfonic acid, which facilitates efficient scission of acid labile groups in chemically amplified positive resist compositions. Because of substantial non-volatility under high vacuum conditions in the EB or EUV lithography, the risk of the exposure tool being contaminated is minimized.

A fluorocarboxylic acid preparation process continuously carries out acidification reaction treatment and washing treatment, and includes subjecting a fluorocarboxylate-containing aqueous solution to acidification reaction treatment in the presence of sulfuric acid so as to form a sulfate-containing fluorocarboxylic acid phase; and subjecting the fluorocarboxylic acid phase to washing treatment using an aqueous sulfuric acid solution.

The item in subject is a pasta machine for domestic use, in which the surfaces of the various parts of the housing are composed of a microporous layer of aluminum oxide and completed with sealing of the micropores for hydration thus obtaining a micro-roughness with nonstick properties enabling the working of moist pasta.

A radiation-curable ink jet ink can be formulated with less than 20% by weight of monofunctional monomer by dispersing the pigment or pigments with an acrylated epoxy resin having an average of from about 1.6 to about 2.0 functional groups per molecule, a number average molecular weight of from about 350 to about 600, and a glass transition temperature of from about −20° C. to about +25° C.

The present invention provides a method of preserving packet ordering in a multi-path network having a plurality of network elements interconnected by network links wherein for each data packet arriving at an egress port of the multi-path network, a delivery acknowledgement is issued by the egress port and is transmitted across the network following in reverse the path taken by the data packet being acknowledged, and wherein the state of each link in the path taken by the data packet being acknowledged is updated by the acknowledgement. The present invention further provides a multi-path network for use in a bridge, switch, router, hub or the like, the multi-path network comprising a plurality of network ports; a plurality of network elements; and a plurality of network links interconnecting the network elements and the network ports for transporting data packets, each network egress port including acknowledgement means for issuing a delivery acknowledgement in response to receipt of a data packet and each network element being adapted to transmitted a delivery acknowledgment in the opposite direction along the path taken by the data packet being acknowledged and being further adapted to update the state of at least one of the network links to which it is connected in response to receipt of an acknowledgement. The invention further provides an Ethernet bridge or router incorporating such a multi-path network.

An apparatus and system for transferring a liquid, such as an anesthetic, from a reservoir to a machine while effectively minimizing the release of the liquid to the surrounding environment. The apparatus can include a first and a second component wherein twisting the first component and second component relative to each other causes a protrusion to seal or unseal a through-hole thereby allowing or preventing the flow of fluid and wherein a portion of an exterior surface of the second component that mates with a vaporizer has a polygonal shape with three or more flat sides.
