Abstract: Suction nozzle (10, 110) for cleaning apparatuses such as
vacuum cleaners, electric brushes or similar, comprising a
central body (11, 111) provided with a suction chamber (30,
130), and at least two suction arms (12, 112) pivoting on
the central body (11, 111) on opposite sides with respect to
a median longitudinal axis (10a, 110a) of the central body
(11, 111) itself, and each having a corresponding lower
suction aperture (16, 116) with a determinate suction
surface. Each suction arm (12, 112) can be directed with
respect to the central body (11, 111) from an open position,
of maximum transverse bulk, to at least a closed position of
minimum transverse bulk. The overall suction surface, which

Abstract: In order to prevent accumulation of rounding errors
caused by the integer-based bilinear interpolation used in
the motion compensation process of image coding and decoding
methods, two types of P frames are used for unidirectional
motion compensation prediction, namely:
   P+ frames, which round the results of bilinear interpolation
with real number operations to the nearest integer
and rounds half integer values (0.5 added to an integer)
away from zero, and   P- frames, which differs from P+ frames in that the
above mentioned half integer values are rounded towards
zero.    
     Utilising both of these P+ and P- frames enables cancelling
of rounding errors and prevents the accumulation of rounding
errors.

Abstract: A medical coupling site (210) adapted to be directly coupled to a
standard male luer includes a rigid housing (214) containing an elastomeric
valve element (216) comprising a tubular body having a wall thickness which
progressively increases in a direction away from an integral diaphragm (234)
which closes the upper end of the body. The housing (214) includes an
annular flange (229) having a locking edge (231) which frictionally engages
the male luer when inserted through a slit (236) in the diaphragm, to lock the
luer in position. A pair of reinforcing ribs (244, 246) are formed integrally with
the diaphragm and extend radially inwardly toward each other from the tubular
body wall to bias the slit closed. The ribs are reduced in thickness
intermediate their ends to form hinge points to facilitate flexing of the
diaphragm when the luer is inserted.

Abstract: In an optical apparatus a first multi-lens array
(MLA) (131) forming an integrator optical system is arranged
integrally at the light emitting part of a reflecting and
condensing mirror (12) so as to function as a surface plate.
Due to this, the distance between the effective reflecting
part of the reflecting and condensing mirror and the first
MLA can be shortened. As a result, as the optical path of
the optical system becomes short, it becomes possible to
make the optical system of a projector small. In addition,
being formed integral to function as a surface plate of
the reflecting and condensing mirror, the number of
optical elements is reduced by one. Accordingly the loss
of light due to surface reflection (Fresnel reflection)
occurring on a boundary surface having a difference of
refractive indexes is decreased, a larger amount of light
can be directed to the SLM and the screen, therefore a
projector of a high luminance is achievable.

source by an AC adapter (14), a charging control
unit (24) sets a first charging voltage at which
the charging capacity of the internal battery is
maximized. When starting the charging from
recognition of reduced capacity of the internal

use where the AC adapter (14) is in connection at
all times, the charging control unit (24) sets a
second charging voltage lower than the first

Abstract: The accuracy of the location estimate of a Wireless Location System is dependent, in part, upon both the transmitted power of the wireless transmitter and the length in time of the transmission from the wireless transmitter. In general, higher power transmissions and transmissions of greater transmission length can be located with better accuracy by the Wireless Location System than lower power and shorter transmissions. Wireless communications systems generally limit the transmit power and transmission length of wireless transmitters in order to minimize interference within the communications system and to maximize the potential capacity of the system. The inventive method disclosed herein meets the conflicting needs of both systems by enabling the wireless communications system to minimize transmit power and length while enabling improved location accuracy for certain types of calls, such as wireless 9-1-1 calls. The method comprises the following steps: a wireless transmitter receives normal transmission parameters from a base station; the user of the wireless transmitter initiates a call on the wireless transmitter by dialing a sequence of digits and pressing "SEND" or "YES"; a processor within the wireless transmitter compares the dialed sequence of digits with one or more trigger events stored within the wireless transmitter; if the dialed sequence of digits does not match the trigger event, then the wireless transmitter uses the normal transmission parameters in making the call; and if the dialed sequence of digits matches the trigger event, then the wireless transmitter uses a modified transmission sequence.
