Abstract: The present invention is an improved type of distillation of water. Usual distillation is related to a liquid's boiling point. However, it is possible to distill significant quantities of water at temperatures well below the boiling point. During distillation a compound is taken from a liquid-phase to the gas phase and then condensed to the liquid again to get a pure liquid. The present invention uses water sprayed (105) and adsorbed onto a solid surface such as micro-powder (104) made from wood as a starting material. Absorbing water onto such a surface results in rapid evaporation with a relatively low temperature gradient when the water and particles are agitated. The present invention could be characterized as solid-phase distillation.

Abstract: A suspension arm (300) of a disk storage device has an elastic portion (310) with thickness d1 and a rigid portion (320) with thickness d2. At the free end of the suspension arm, a slider (325) is mounted on the suspension arm. The bottom surface of the slider has a distance FH to a top surface of a hard disk (329). The suspension arm particularly comprises a heating element (330) disposed on the suspension arm. An electric current Ic flowing through electrical supply wires (350) causes the temperature of the suspension arm locally to rise and therefore its spring constant to decrease. Together with the force Fa resulting from the air cushion effect of the slider a new equilibrium flying height FH is stabilized.

Abstract: Method for determining, monitoring and updating correction data for correcting measured value distortions and for calibrating liquid-filled transmission systems, via which signals from the patient detected in the body of a patient are transmitted to an external measured value receiver, in particular for invasive pressure measurements in cardiology, intensive care medicine and anaesthesia. The correction data are determined in the frequency range for each frequency from statistics of the signals from the patient measured at this frequency, in particular from the transmission function obtained from the signal from the patient. In the determination of the correction data, empirically checked assumptions about the corresponding statistics of undistorted signals from the patient and general properties of the transmission function are used.

Abstract: A PC card which releasably engages with a SIM card is provided. The PC card includes a SIM carriage having an ejection assembly and a locking mechanism. The ejection mechanism allows for insertion of the SIM card within the SIM carriage. The locking mechanism locks the SIM card within the SIM carriage upon insertion of the card within the SIM carriage. Additionally, the ejection assembly automatically ejects the SIM card from the SIM carriage upon de-activation of the locking mechanism. The ejection assembly automatically ejects the SIM card with an ejection spring. The orientation of the SIM carriage within the PC card maintains the structural integrity of the PC card.
