Inventor: MICHAL KNIZEK
IPC: H04M11/00
Filed: 2015-09-28
Abstract: Controlling a home appliance 5 depending on a determined user position P1, P2, P3. The method comprising: determining a position of a users smartphone 10; judging from the positional information whether the determined position is within or outside a predefined home zone 1 surrounding the home appliance; generating a control signal dependant on whether the determined position is judged to be within or outside the home zone; transmitting the control signal to a control device 7 configured to control the home appliance; judging from the positional information whether the determined position is within a predefined problematic zone 3 which is outside the home zone; and reclassifying the determined position P3 depending on at least whether or not the determined position is judged to be within the problematic zone. The judging steps may be performed by the smartphone itself, wherein the smartphone transmits the resulting control signal, or by a remote server (not shown) which receives the positional information from the smartphone and generates and sends the control signal. The position determination may be based on cell ID. The problematic zone may be predefined to avoid false jumps (i.e. detecting changed cell towers when the mobile device hasnt actually physically moved).

Title: Preparation method for high-density hexagonal boron nitride ceramic material
Inventor: JIANFENG ZHANG
IPC: C04B35/622
Filed: 2014-08-14
Abstract: A preparation method for a high-density hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) ceramic material. The method adopts ethyl orthosilicate as a raw material to coat a uniformly dispersed SiO2 nano-particle layer onto the surface of an hBN powder, then obtains the high-density hBN ceramic material by adopting a pressureless sintering method, wherein the relative density of the prepared hBN ceramic material reaches not less than 80%. The method achieves the uniform dispersion of the SiO2 sintering aid by coating SiO2 onto the surface of the hBN powder, obtains the high-density hBN ceramic in combination with high-temperature pressureless sintering, and improves the high-temperature operating temperature and high-temperature properties of the hBN while reducing the usage amount of SiO2.
