Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement (10) for scrollable cross point navigation on a user interface (26) in order to select a feature by combining object fields. Bars (32, 34), where at least one of them is scrollable, have object fields which overlap and combine each other when scrolled or put to a visible focus area (30) in the user interface at the cross point of the bars (32, 34). Object fields in the focus area (30) select a feature connected to a combination of fields, which is chosen by a confirmation action.

Abstract: A conventional ball lock mechanism has been replaced with a wedge adapted to lock a tool, such as a punch, forming tool or die bushing in a retainer block in which the tool can be accurately positioned relative to the retainer block. The tool is released by moving the wedge away from the retainer block. The inclined surface of the wedge may be inclined upward or downward at an acute angle to the vertical, or the wedge may have both upwardly and downwardly inclined surfaces. The upper portion of the tool is preferably non-circular and is held within a tool cavity formed when the wedge is disposed in the retainer block. One surface of the wedge (its tool-mating surface) is adapted to correspond to the surface of the tool in contact with the wedge. The assembly of wedge slidably disposed within the retainer block is preferably used with a hardened backing plate rather than being secured directly to the die shoe. Several embodiments for securing the wedge in the retainer block are described in each of which the wedge is vertically translatable. The preferred method for forming the wedge is to cut it from a block of hardened tool steel with a wire electric discharge machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating wood that provides the wood with a surface texture of new type, i.e. with hirsuteness (K). To this end, a pressurized water jet (5) is used having a cross-sectional area smaller than the area of the surface to be treated on the piece of wood. The pressurized water jet is directed to the wood surface (3a, 3b, 3c...) at a spraying angle ( alpha ) in the range 90°-60° relative to the normal (N) to the surface, and it is moved along a route parallel to the surface so as to make the wood fibers (4) on said surface partly come off and partly come off and partly stay adhered to the piece of wood. The spraying may have a minimum surface pressure (P/A1) of 0.2 bar/mm<2> and a maximum surface pressure of 16 bar/mm<2>.

Abstract: A method of demodulating digital data using M'ary QAM has been disclosed, comprising the steps of detecting a complex symbol vector D, establishing within which reference symbol boundaries the detected symbol vector D falls, the given reference symbol boundaries being associated with a complex reference vector R. Quadrature components (E_I and E_Q) of an error vector (E) constituting the difference between the detected vector D and the associated reference vector R are found and an error control signal (E') as feed back signal in the demodulation stage is approximated. The influence of thermal noise in the receiver stage has been limited by a weighting and/or by noise balancing.

Abstract: A video communication unit ( 405 ) includes a video input ( 415 ) for receiving an un-watermarked video or image signal transmission having a number of video or image frames ( 110, 120, 130, 140 ), wherein each video or image frame includes a number of bit planes, the video input ( 415 ) being operably coupled to a processor ( 410 ). The processor ( 410 ) splits at least one bit plane ( 116 ) from each of at least two video or image frames ( 205, 210 ) into a first and second portion. The processor combines ( 235, 242,232,245 ) a second portion of the at least one bit plane of a first frame with a first portion of the at least one bit plane of a second frame to apply a watermark bit to the video or image signal transmission. A video communication system and methods of detecting a tampered area and visually labelling the tampered area are described. This enables fraudulent tampering of images and video to be detected, and the location of such tampering to be revealed to users of the material.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mécanisme tendeur à blocage destiné à un générateur haute pression miniaturisé. De par leur construction, ces mécanismes sont conçus uniquement pour un volume défini de liquide à distribuer. Selon l'invention, le volume devant être distribué par le générateur haute pression peut être modifié ultérieurement par réglage de l'une des butées de la partie élastique. Les composants essentiels du mécanisme tendeur à blocage et du générateur haute pression restent inchangés. On utilise au moins un composant supplémentaire comme élément d'espacement, sous la forme de bagues intermédiaires, de cônes étagés, de vis de réglage ou d'écrous de réglage. On peut en outre utiliser un mécanisme de poussée en hélice réglable de façon continue ou progressive pour régler une des butées de la partie élastique. Le volume à distribuer peut être modifié de façon discontinue ou continue pendant le montage du mécanisme tendeur à blocage ou avant l'utilisation du générateur haute pression, ou bien pendant l'utilisation du générateur haute pression. Ce mécanisme tendeur à blocage pour générateur haute pression miniaturisé, permettant un réglage reproductible du volume de liquide à distribuer, qui est de l'ordre du microlitre, peut être utilisé par exemple dans un atomiseur haute pression pour produire un aérosol inhalable ou dans un injecteur sans aiguille pour injecter un volume de liquide dans un tissu animal ou végétal.
