Abstract: For hot water preparation and storage, the plate heat transmitter comprises a stack (1) of known heat transmission plates, followed by a second stack (4) of such plates. The second stack differs from the first in that, on the user water side, it has greater profiling and thereby flow gaps than on the hot water side. The two stacks are enclosed by two reinforcing end plates (2,3).  The end plate on the first stack supports the connections for hot water forward and back flow together with cold water inflow and warm water outflow. On the other end plate one or more temperature sensors (14) are arranged. The plate heat transmitter is flowed through in counterflow by hot and user water when the valves are opened.

Abstract: An improved wobble piston and seal assembly (30) for an oil free air
compressor. The piston has a seal support surface (35) which is provided with an
upwardly directed curve (36) adjacent its perimeter. A flat annular seal (32) is
secured to the piston to be supported by the support surface. The curve imparts a
limited bend to the seal adjacent the perimeter of the piston. The piston and seal
are then inserted into a cylinder which increases the bend to substantially 90°.
The region of the bend in the seal adjacent the top of the piston is supported by
the curved top to reduce flexing during operation at high air pressures. By
preventing a reduction in the bend radius at high air pressures, stress in the seal at
the bend is reduced, permitting use of a harder more durable seal material.

IPC: H04L1/00

Abstract: A method and communications device for controlling the
line rate used on a communications link. The method includes
receiving frames of digital information, computing a measure of
the number of frames received in error in a sliding time window
and generating a command to change the line rate as a function
of the measure. The use of a sliding time window captures
variations in the line quality over an extended period of time;
thus, significant disturbances which might otherwise be missed
are captured. The measure of the number of frames received in
error is computed by applying a many-to-one mapping to the
actual number of frame errors received since a previous sampling
instant; thus, insignificant short-term disturbances which might
otherwise temporarily corrupt the line quality estimate are
eliminated. As a result, commands to change the line rate are
based on a better estimate of line quality and the incidence of
thrashing in the presence of recurring noise bursts is reduced,
leading to increased data throughput. A back-off timer may be
used for preventing an upgrade in line quality from occurring
immediately following a downgrade, further decreasing the
incidence of thrashing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for targeting a particular mRNA sequence in vivo by oral administration of a morpholino antisense compound having uncharged phosphorus-containing backbone linkages. Also disclosed is a non-invasive method of detecting and quantitating the in vivo presence of RNA containing one or more selected target sequences. The method includes administering to a subject a nuclease-resistant antisense oligomer which hybridizes by Watson-Crick base pairing to a region of the target RNA with a Tm substantially greater than 37° C. The oligomer is able to complex intracellularly with target RNA, and is released from intracellular sites as a nuclease-resistant heteroduplex, which can then be measured in a body fluid sample, e.g., urine.
