Multi-compartment packaging

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-compartment packaging comprising a base part provided with at least two cups (11,12) which are used to receive the components, and a cover film which is connected to the base part. The components can be mixed together by exerting pressure on the connection area between the at least two cups which, as a result, becomes detached. The cover film is made of at least two films (20,30) having different structures. One section or one surface arranged above at least one cup (11) is covered by only one of the two films (20). Due to said selective covering of the base part and/or the components located in the two cups by the films adapted to the user profile of the compartments, the desired physical properties can be adjusted in a separate manner in relation to the density and/or light-impermability for the two cups.

Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Steuerung und Regelung von Stößellageabweichungen an servo-elektrischen Pressen

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Steuerung und Regelung von Stoselabweichungen an servo-elektrischen Pressen. Insbesondere sollen Lageabweichungen eines Stosels beim Durchgang durch den unteren Umkehrpunkt so beeinflusst werden, dass einerseits die Eintauchtiefe und andererseits die Kipplage des Stosels steuer- oder regelbar sind.

Moving-bed reactor, in particular for the treatment of flue gases

Abstract: A moving bed reactor for the treatment of fluid in a countercurrent process includes a reactor vessel having, in an upper region thereof, an inlet for receiving particulate material and an outlet for discharging treated fluid, the reactor vessel also having, in a lower region thereof, a downward tapering first funnel leading to an outlet, the first funnel guiding the particulate material to the outlet for discharge from the reactor vessel, the first funnel being formed by wall sections which mutually overlap in louvre fashion to create slot-shaped passages for the fluid to be treated to enter the vessel. A second funnel is provided, surrounding the first funnel and communicating with the slot-shaped passages, the second funnel having an inlet for receiving the fluid to be treated, there being provided an annular canal between the second funnel and the first funnel at the lower regions thereof, which annular canal communicates with the particulate discharge outlet so that any particulate material which enters the second funnel by the slot-shaped passages is guided to the particulate discharge outlet through the annular canal.

Tell me that I can do it better. The effect of attributional feedback from a learning technology on achievement emotions and performance and the moderating role of individual adaptive reactions to errors

Abstract: The study investigated whether and how the implementation of attributional feedback in a pen-tablet-based digital learning environment affects students' activity-related achievement emotions (enjoyment, boredom, anger, frustration) and writing performance. Furthermore, the role of students' tendency towards adaptive reactions to errors for the effect of attributional feedback on activity-related achievement emotions and performance, was examined. A total of 84 students were required to learn Japanese writing within a pen-tablet-based digital learning environment under one of two feedback design conditions: a condition with performance-based feedback only (PFC) or a condition adding attributional feedback (AFC). Students' tendency towards adaptive reactions to errors (i.e., affective-motivational and action-related adaptive reactions) were assessed as a baseline. Enjoyment, boredom, anger and frustration were measured at intervals during learning, while writing performance was measured continuously during the learning process. The results indicate that AFC students reported higher levels of enjoyment and lower levels of anger and frustration than those students who learned with the PFC within the digital learning environment. Furthermore, students who received the AFC outperformed the PFC students in writing performance. The results also show that the tendency towards an affective-motivational adaptive reaction to errors, was a significant positive predictor of enjoyment and writing performance and a negative predictor in terms of boredom, anger and frustration. In addition, a reduced tendency to maintain a positive effect and motivation to learn in the face of errors (i.e., affective-motivational tendency) enhanced the impact feedback design could have on anger and on frustration. In contrast, a stronger affective-motivational tendency helps to compensate the impact of feedback design on these negative, activity-related, achievement emotions. The results underline the necessity to take into account not only activity-related emotions, but also students' individual ways of dealing with errors, when designing feedback for digital learning environments.
