Abstract: A protrusion (21b) is formed on a central region, of an inner surface (21c) of a first disc plate (21) constituting an end on an inclined lower side of a rotating drum (2). Particles (11) in the vicinity of the other end (first disc plate (21)), which are lifted forward in a rotational direction as the rotation drum (2) rotates, are brought into contact with a surface of the protrusion (21b) when the particles (11) flow backward in the rotational direction due to their own weights. Then, the particles (11) are guided by the surface of the protrusion (21b) to thereby flow toward the inclined upper side. As a result, a stagnation phenomenon of the particles (11) in the vicinity of the other end (first disc plate (21)) is less likely to occur.

Abstract: The invention relates to satellite-based positioning of mobile terminals. Positioning with correction for errors in parameters measured at the mobile terminal is provided. The terminal location is first calculated (S2; S4') without error correction or with partial error correction. Hereby, a set of nonlinear equations with the UE location and the UE clock bias and possibly the transmission time offset as unknowns are defined, linearized and solved for the mobile terminal location. The quality of the result is determined and compared to a predetermined criterion (S3; S5). If the quality criterion is not fulfilled, the location of the mobile terminal is recalculated with additional error correction (S4, S4'; S6). The proposed method can involve correction for errors in a parameter for time of signal reception, or in a pseudorange parameter, or both. The error correction can be stepwise.
