A method for pre-registration in a printing machine with multiple printing units in which phases of the printing cylinders involved in the printing process are so mutually attuned that the deviations of the printing images of the different printing cylinders lie within mutual capture areas, includes using the deviations in the context of the registration of an ongoing printing operation, respectively, for the determination of the position of the printing images or parts thereof. The web to be pr...

Nucleotide or amino acid sequences that may be used in the detection and/or identification for an ochratoxigenic fungus or in the construction of an atoxigenic strain of an ochratoxigenis fungus. The fungus may be of the genus Aspergillus, species carbonarius, niger, alliaceus, or foetidux. The fungus may also be of the genus Penicillium, species verrucosum.

The invention relates to a cutting tooth for a ground working implement, particularly for a cutting wheel of a trench wall cutter, with a dedendum for reception in a holder of the ground working implement and at least one main cutting element for working the soil located at the top on the dedendum. For widening the working cross-section of the main cutting element at least one further reaming element is provided at the top on the dedendum and which, compared with the main cutting element, has a ...

Food safety and longevity of still respiring fruit or vegetable pieces are enhanced reliant on a treatment process where the cut surfaces (preferably cleaned of cell debrit) are subjected to both UV light irradiation and heating so as, in concert, render the surfaces more sterile. The heating also has the effect of reducing ethylene production and at least depressing respiration. Such a process is preferably in addition to an anti-oxidant impregnation. The overall process in its preferred forms ...

A minimally invasive orthopedic fastener for the repair of torn rotator cuff tendons. The rotator cuff is thereby repaired transarthroscopically to bring the tendons tight to the bone. This is accomplished by the use of a bone screw having a plurality of vanes pivotally mounted thereon. The vanes are pivotal from a retracted position extending along a length of the screw to an extended position extending substantially perpendicular to the shaft of the screw. The fastener is cannulated and taken ...

The invention relates to a construction machine, in particular a drilling and/or pile driving device, for foundation construction comprising a chassis and a leader arranged on the chassis for the longitudinally displaceable guidance of a drive head. Provision is made for the leader to be pivotable on the chassis by means of a pivot drive about a pivot axis that extends at least approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the leader. In accordance with the invention at least one locking el...

A system and method for multilingual spelling corrections employs a lexicon builder, which uses a metadata build process that extracts all words from the data source, along with their frequencies, to build a lexicon file using the data source with which a user will be working; and a spell checker algorithm, which determines the correct spelling of words used as input for a search of the data source by calculating a score value for words in the lexicon file according to a formula that distinguish...

A concrete component firstly includes arranging on a casting substrate, a plurality of elongate casting elements to define the outline of the component to be cast. A plurality of wall portions are then selected having a width commensurate with the width of the sides of the component to be cast. The casting elements each have locating portions to receive at least an edge of one or more of the wall portions. The plurality of wall portions are located with the locating portions of the casting eleme...

There are provided a screensaver displaying method and an information processing system in which characters arbitrarily selected or input by a user can be displayed with a simple operation during starting of a screensaver in the screensaver started at a time when an IC card or the like is pulled out.In the screensaver displaying method and the information processing system in which a computer is usable, while a user authentication device such as the IC card is set in a card reader and writer, an...

A conveying line, in particular a friction roller conveying line, with at least one driving roller driving goods, the driving roller being driven by a drive shaft and the drive shaft having a chain drive. The drive shaft driving the driving roller carries at least two toothed wheels which interact with at least one driving chain driven by the drive.
