The invention relates to a method for seamless handover of mobile devices in heterogeneous networks. A mobile device (10) is moved between different topological network locations (30 / 31 / 32 / 33) and transmits and / or receives data by means of different network access technologies without the data transfer between a Client IP application (11), running on the mobile device (10), and a Server IP application (21) being interrupted, wherein the Client IP application (11) of the mobile device (10) makes a request with first data units to a client-service module (12), wherein the client service module (12) creates second data units based on the received first data units and makes a request to a server-service module (22) with the second data units, wherein the server-service module (22) creates third data units based on the received second data units and makes a request to the Server IP application (21) with the third data units to handle the data exchange between the Client IP application (11) and the Server IP application (21).

A display rack assembly for the display of product packages, with provisions for pushing packages toward the front of the display as individual packages are removed. The assembly includes a support base for supporting the packages and slidably mounting a spring-urged pusher. The pusher has front and back panels, with the back panel being joined along its upper edge to the back of the front panel, and the respective bottom edges being spaced apart in the front to back direction. A generally flat, front extension panel is removably attached to the front pusher panel to extend its dimensions upwardly or laterally, or both. This enables a standardized display rack to be easily adapted for tall and / or wide packages, as well as packages of smaller sizes. Interchangeable extension panels also can be provided with product advertising, specific to the product being displayed, which can be replaced or interchanged when a new product is displayed.

A discharge unit for an animal feeder attaches to the feed outlet of the feeder. The discharge unit has an upwardly extending coupling tube which engages the feeder outlet. Several feeder tubes extend outwardly from the lower end of the coupling tube and together with the lower end of the coupling tube define a central chamber of the discharge unit. A spreader cone is located within a floor region of the central chamber. Feed passing from the feed outlet of the feeder passes through the internal diameter of the coupling tube of the discharge unit and over the spreader cone before passing through the central chamber and through the feeder tubes to be discharged from the feeder.

The invention relates to an adjustable impression tray (1) comprising a trough (2) in the form of an arch with a straight central portion (7) extended by two lateral branches (8,9), essentially matching the form of a dental arch and comprising several integral zones which may be deformed at the temperature of use in the form of a multi-directional extension means (12), for example an accordion-like bellows arrangement (13 to 16). The impression tray, preferably for single usage, advantageously comprises splitting zones (17, 18) which allow the production of impression trays of differing sectors, which by comprising one or several deformation zones are equally adjustable. The invention is of interest to dentists and prosthetic dentists and more generally to producers and users of dental equipment.

A device and method of operation for filling medicine capsules, in which a fixed quantity of open capsules to be filled are supported in a circular array by a holder plate beneath the periphery of a rotatable distribution drum. In use, a measured supply of filling medication, in dry granular form, is dispensed into the center of the rotating drum where it is distributed evenly by centrifugal force along the periphery of the drum. As the drum stops rotating, the medication flows by gravity into the capsules, which are then inspected, closed and packaged. The distribution of filler material is more even than if the capsules were filled by hand, and the average quantity (both by volume and by weight) of the filling material per capsule in the batch is variable to suit an individual patient's needs, and very accurately known. In addition, two or more compatible filler medications may be mixed in the same capsules to suit the specialized needs of a particular user. Because the provided quantity of medication is completely distributed into each batch of capsules, inadvertent double-filling is prevented.

The ends have inner sides that generally face one another across the test zone, and outer sides that are generally opposed to one another and the test zone. An arbor element is mounted for generally axial movement relative to the first end. The arbor element is slidably mounted in the first end. The arbor element projects inwardly into the test zone and outwardly from the outer side of the first end. The arbor element is adapted to being attached to a test specimen, which mounted in the test zone. A portion of the arbor element that projects outwardly from the outer side of the first end is generally surrounded by an array of jack bolts. The jack bolts are threadably mounted in a collar member that is substantially axially fixed relative to the arbor element. The jack bolts are positioned to bear generally against the outer side of the first end. Typically, at least a thrust collar, and, preferably, a load determining assembly are interposed between this outer side and the bearing ends of the jack bolts. Torquing down the jack bolts against the outer side of the first end places the arbor element in tension. This tensile load is applied to a test specimen mounted in the test zone, and the magnitude of the load is determined.

A training weapon which is quickly and easilyassembled from a standard weapon without requiring any physical modification (alteration) of any component of the standard weapon. A few components of the standard weapon are removed and replaced by components of the invention. This replacement does not exceed skill level beyond a standard field-strip procedure of the particular weapon. Action of the training weapon is of the same character as the action of the standard weapon, while developing trainee's responses to the substitute firing action, and at the same time improving trainee's skill, all without the use of live ammunition. Installed components include means of cycling the the weapon's mechanism thus simulating recoil using compressed gas, optional laser pointer activating a target, and a replacement magazine including source of electricity and an electronic control circuit and operable with a gas passage unit. Weapon's original trigger mechanism remains unchanged and is utilized to initiate the substitute firing cycle.

The present invention relates to systems and methods that facilitate wireless device communications and configuration. A detection component identifies N devices that are coupled together via a biological medium, N being an integer, wherein the medium includes direct or indirect touching to a device or devices. After biological contact, a configuration component initiates a configuration between a subset of the devices.
