Abstract: In an iron (1) comprising a housing (2), a soleplate (3) which is to be moved in a displacement direction over a fabric (4) during operation, and heating means (5) for heating the soleplate (3), the soleplate (3) comprises cooling means (6) for setting at least a portion of the fabric during operation, which means are provided, seen in the displacement direction, behind the heating means (5). After heating of the fibers in the fabric, the cooling means comprised in the soleplate subsequently cool the fibers in the fabric which are under tensile and compression forces because the soleplate is still in contact with the fabric. This causes the fibers to become set quickly and effectively, which improves the result of the ironing.

Abstract: An optical data storage medium (20) for recording by means of a focused radiation beam (29) is described. The radiation beam having a wavelength λ enters through an entrance face (28) of the medium during recording. The medium has a substrate (21) with a surface (24) including a guide groove with a depth g. An inverted stack of layers is present on the substrate (21) including a reflective layer (24a) with a complex refractive index ñMλ = nMλ - i*kMλ, in substantial conformity with the surface (24) of the substrate, a transparent layer (22) through which the radiation beam (29) is incident with a complex refractive index ñTλ = nTλ - i*kTλ and a recording layer (25) of a material having a complex refractive index ñRλ = nRλ - i*kRλ and having a thickness dRG in the groove portion and a thickness dRL in the portion between grooves. The recording layer is interposed between the reflective layer (24a) and the transparent layer (22). When 0.25/(3.0+ kMλ2) + 0.17 < g*nT/λ < 0.22/(3.0 + kMλ2) + 0.45 and 0.2 < (dRG - dRL)/g < 0.5 and 0 < dRG < λ/nRλ and kRλ < 0.5 and 2 < nRλ < 2.6 the sign of the push pull tracking signal is reversed.

Inventor: VRANITZKY ROBERT DIPL-ING
IPC: C02F1/78

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for treatment of aqueous organic waste,
especially sewage sludge, is shown comprising the stages of
     anaerobically digesting the waste in a first stage (1),   disintegrating digested waste from the first stage by cell wall
destuction (6) and   digesting disintegrated waste in a second stage different from the
first stage (2). It is characterized in that after disintegrating
digested waste and before digesting disintegrated waste in the second
stage the disintegrated waste undergoes a liquid-solid-separation in a
thickening stage (8). Due to sludge disintegration, e.g. by ozone
treatment, the active biomass is disrupted and thus represents a good
substrate for digestion. Additionally the sludge settling properties are
significantly improved, that is why it is easy thickened by gravity. By
having a thickening stage between disintegration stage and second
digestion stage the liquor can be recycled (9) to wastewater treatment
whereas the solids of the disintegrated waste (10) are subjected to
further biodegradation. As a consequence of the phase separation the
sludge load to the second stage digestion (2) is reduced as compared to
the first stage (1). Thus the organic content in the residual sludge is
further reduced.

the cell selection reference signal so that the uplink
transmitted power values from mobile station (10) to the
first base station and to the second base station
become substantially equal and so that a received power
value at mobile station (10) of the cell selection
reference signal becomes substantially equal to a
predetermined reference power value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a decoder for decoding
codewords generated in an encoder using a set of m parity equations
presentable as a parity check matrix, wherein for each non-zero entry in
a parity check matrix, the message matrix elements of a first message
matrix are initialized with data obtained from a demodulator, and the
elements of a second message matrix are determined based on message
matrix elements of said first message matrix. The method and the decoder
rely on a graph-based representation of codes, e.g. low-density
parity-check (LDPC) codes, where the decoding can be understood as
message passing in a factor graph. Further, a decoded codeword is
reconstructed based on the data obtained from the demodulator and the
matrix elements of the second matrix. Moreover the present invention
relates to a decoder as well as to a communication system, a mobile
terminal and a base station comprising the decoder. To reduce the
influence of wrong information the decoding method uses subset of matrix
elements from said first/second matrix for determining a matrix element
of said second/first matrix, wherein the matrix elements of said subset
fulfill a reliability criterion.

Abstract: For manufacturing the composite automotive trim part a flowable skin
material (1) is applied onto a first mould surface (4), a flowable
substrate material (2) is applied onto a second mould surface (7), the
mould (5,8) is closed and a foamable material (3) is applied in the gap
between the flexible skin (1) and the rigid substrate (2). Both the
flexible skin and the rigid substrate can be manufactured by spraying a
polyurethane reaction mixture. Advantages are that no positioning of the
rigid substrate nor of the flexible skin is required and that especially
the rigid substrate has not to be manufactured separately thus enabling
to reduce the production costs and to increase the part quality. The
sealing of the mould cavity for producing the foam layer is achieved by
providing a sufficiently thick layer of flexible skin material in the
zone of contact with the substrate. Installation and tool costs can be
reduced by separating both mould halves and producing the skin and the
substrate along different production lines.
