Abstract: A snowboard ( 10 ) includes a central section ( 12 ) and tip and tail sections ( 14, 16 ). The snowboard includes a core ( 30 ) bordered within the central section along longitudinal edges by sidewall members ( 24 ). The snowboard includes upper and lower reinforcement layers ( 32, 34 ) covered by a top sheet ( 36 ) and a base ( 38 ). The outer surfaces ( 44 ) of the sidewall members ( 24 ) are exposed between the top sheet and the base within the central section of the board. In the tip and tail section of the board, the sidewall members are absent, with a cap formed by the top sheet and upper reinforcement layer extending to cover the perimeter edge of the core and join to the base. The board thus has a fully exposed sidewall construction in the central section and a capped construction in the tip and tail sections.

Abstract: Carrier Interferometry (CI) codes include families of orthogonal polyphase codes that have no length restrictions and can be used for direct-sequence and multicarrier coding. Quasi-orthogonal CI channel codes simultaneously improve probability-of-error performance and increase throughput. CI filtering (701, 702), which is based on CI codes, enables filtering and correlation operations via sampling and adding. CI codes simplify transform operations, such as Fourier transforms, by reducing or eliminating complex multiplications. CI filtering may be used to simplify synthesis and analysis functions and allow all physical-layer processing operations to be consolidated into simple sub-carrier selection and weighting operations. Thus, CI processing enables a software-defined baseband processor.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a connector with a housing lock, with a first locking component (1) on a first housing part (2), a second locking component (3) on a second housing part (4) and a securing slide (5) whose front face (6) opposes, by means of the force of a spring (7), the insertion of the first locking component (1) into the second locking element (3) and which, after reaching the locked position, locks the first and second locking components (1,3). The first locking element (1) releases, after reaching the locked position, the securing slide, pre-tensioned by means of the strength of a spring, in order that it may return to its starting position. Whilst it is in this position, the securing slide (5) presses the front face (6) of the first locking component (1) into the second locking component (3) and supports itself against an inner wall (8) of the first housing part (2) ; a pull on the securing slide (5) in the direction opposite to that of the pull of the spring, places the front face opposite a recess (9) in the inner wall (8) of the housing, into which it moves and releases the lock with the second locking component (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a light comprising a carrier element (2) for a longitudinal lamp, and longitudinal light influencing means (3) which are to be fixed on the carrier element (2). Said light contains at least one fixing element (6) which is provided on the light influencing means (3) and which can be longitudinally displaced between a locking position and an unlocking position. Said fixing element comprises catch projections which engage in catch recesses (13) of the carrier element (2) when the fixing element (6) is in the locking position, thus fixing the light influencing means (3) to the carrier element (2). Said fixing element (6) is provided with at least one spring arm (7) which bends outwards and comprises a catch (12) which is oriented towards the carrier element (2) and forms the catch projection. An inclined ramp (17) is also arranged on the spring arm (7), said ramp co-operating with a stop on the light influencing means (3) in such a way that the spring arm (7) is bent out into the unlocking position during the displacement of the fixing element (6). The assembly of the light influencing means (3) is thus simplified.

The clock signal may have an amplitude that is lower than the power supply voltage VDD, typically less than half of the power supply voltage, and less stringent requirements can be applied to the waveform of the clock signal than traditionally applied to data and clock signals. The clock signals are hereby less power consuming and cause significantly less electromagnetic interference.
