A second aspect of the invention relates to a method for plastering a wall (210) located beneath a ceiling (220) whereby the aforementioned settlement joint tape is applied to the underside of the ceiling in an inner corner of the ceiling and the wall.

The invention relates to a powertrain (10) for a pedal vehicle (1), comprisinga three-way power split device (20) with a first (21), a second (22) and a third (23) interface,a motor (2) configured to rotate in a first and in a second rotational direction,a driver (11) connected to the motor (2) and connected, by means of a first unidirectional clutch arrangement (31), to the first interface (21) to which an output structure (15) is connected such that the motor (2) can exert torque on the first interface (21) only by rotation in the first rotational direction, wherein the driver (11) is connected, by means of a second unidirectional clutch arrangement (32), to the second interface (22) such that the motor (2) can exert torque on the second interface (22) only by rotation in the second rotational direction,a further driver (12) connected to a pedal crank structure (13) and to the third interface (23), wherein the pedal crank structure (13) is configured to receive a user torque input and forward the user torque input to the third interface (23) in the first rotational direction, anda third unidirectional clutch arrangement (33) arranged in the powertrain (10) such that the user torque input can exert torque on the first interface (21) in the first rotational direction with the third unidirectional clutch arrangement (33) being locked.

The present concerns a method for obtaining stress-strain material parameters of a solid piece, comprising the steps of: (I) optically and/or tactilely obtaining a generated indentation topography of a local indent generated into the solid piece and extracting indent material parameter values of a first set of stress-strain material parameters of the solid piece from the generated indentation topography, (II) obtaining a vibrational response to an elastic impact on the solid piece, and (III) extracting a validity restriction to at least one of the first set of stress-strain material parameters of the solid piece from the vibrational response.

The present invention concerns an authentication method for authenticating a low-computational (LC) device to a client via a device-client connection channel, comprising the steps of: a) generating a private/public (PP) key pair, preferably on a high-computational device; b) storing said private/public key pair in the low-computational device; c) generating a first hashcode from the public key of the PP key pair according to a predefined hashing algorithm; d) connecting the LC device via a device-client channel to a client device; e) transmitting the public key of the PP kay pair from the LC device to the client device via the device-client channel; f) generating a second hashcode from the transmitted public key at a client side of the device-client channel using said predefined hashing algorithm, and g) comparing the second hashcode to the first hashcode, thereby allowing authentication of the LC device to the client device.

Dial module comprising a dial (3) which is constructed from a primary disk (6) with a primary ring (7), whereby in the primary disk (6) an opening (8) is applied, whereby in the opening (8) a secondary disk (9) with secondary ring (10) is applied, whereby the disks (6, 9) that serve as hands and the rings (7, 10) are provided with a scale indication (12), whereby the disks (6, 7) and rings (9, 10) are situated in one continuous surface (13), characterised in that the outer edges (14) of the disks (6, 9), inner edge (14) of the primary ring (7), inner and outer edge (14) of the secondary ring (10) and edge (14) of the opening (8) in the primary disk (6) are provided with a groove (15) and whereby small balls (16) are applied between the rings (7,10) and disks (6,9) on the level of the grooves (15) to form bearings.

An exhaust aftertreatment device includes a mixing arrangement including a divider baffle arrangement and a restrictor arrangement. The divider baffle arrangement defines a first flow path that passes through turbulence generating members (e.g., louvers, perforations, etc.). The divider baffle also defines a second flow path that bypasses the turbulence generating members to mitigate back pressure. The first and second flow paths can be offset from center planes of the device to assist in generating turbulence. The turbulence generating members are on a dosing conduit directing reactant flow to the first aperture.

The invention relates to a device and method. The device comprises a housing (2) delimited by a top element (4), and laterally by two opposite upward directed side elements (5). A supporting element (8) is applied in the housing for supporting the packaging material. The supporting element is moveable in an upward direction towards or away from the top element and is lockable. The supporting element is provided with two supporting openings (11). The dimensions and position of the supporting openings are adapted such that when in use the fork (15) of a fork-lift truck (14) can be fittingly inserted into the supporting openings and the inserted fork can move the supporting element in an upward direction by moving the fork.
