Abstract: The catamaran comprises a pair of substantially rigid elongate hulls (1) each provided with buoyancy means. The hulls (1) are detachably mounted one to the other parallelly in use, but are re-mountable one to the other to form a single transportable body when out of use. In this configuration an upper surface of a first hull (1) opposes an upper surface of a second hull (1) to form an enclosed hollow body, in which other components of the craft may be stored.

Abstract: A method is suggested for detecting a change in the
status of a data source the signal of which is recorded
beginning at a first time and reproduced beginning at a
second time which is later than the first time. In order
to prematurely inform a user about unwanted changes in the
data stream originating from the data source while
reproducing recorded content, the signal to be recorded
from the source is permanently monitored for properties
indicating an unchanged data stream. Upon detecting a
change in the data stream the user is informed, e.g., via
an on-screen-display. A menu offering options for further
operation or correcting a possible fault is provided to
the user. Further a device incorporating the method is
suggested.

Abstract: On a first part (co) of the casing there is an armature (ar), in which a wheel (wh)
is fastened in a rotating way, said wheel rolling along a second part (wa) of the
casing when the casing is being opened. The wheel is provided with a brake (b)
having different braking torques when the wheel rotates in one or another
direction and is linked via a shaft (sh) in its axis of rotation with a panel of a
trimmer capacitor, said panel being rotatable for an unlimited angle. The
capacitor defines the common capacity in an oscillating circle, with which the
casing is equipped. The occurrence of a relative change (fn+1 - fn)/fn of the
frequency of the oscillating circle between two consecutive checkings of
frequency not equalling zero is preferably automatically reported to a supervisory
location. 
     In order to detect any opening even in the absence of a supply voltage, the casing
of the invention is adapted with standard components in a simple and reliable
way.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, des messages transmis entre un récepteur (150) et un émetteur (240) sont utilisés pour maximiser un débit binaire de communication. Plus précisément, un système de modulation multiporteuse utilise des messages envoyés à partir du récepteur vers l'émetteur, aux fins d'échange d'un ou de plusieurs ensembles de paramètres de communication optimisés. L'émetteur stocke ensuite ces paramètres de communication et pendant l'émission vers ce récepteur, l'émetteur utilise les paramètres stockés dans le but de maximiser le débit binaire vers ce récepteur. De la même manière, quand le récepteur reçoit des paquets de cet émetteur, le récepteur peut utiliser les paramètres de communication stockés aux fins de réception.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a diesel engine, especially for a motor vehicle. Said engine comprises a particle filter (8) which is arranged in a waste gas post-treatment system (12) of the diesel engine and which absorbs the soot particles in the waste gas of the diesel engine. An additive is automatically added to the fuel, which reduces the ignition temperature of the soot particles disposed in the particle filter. As a result, a charging state of the particle filter is determined and an automatic addition of the additives of the fuel only takes place when the charging state exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to virulent (lytic) Listeria monocytogenes phage from the Myoviridae family, preferably P100, alone or in combination with other virulent phages. P100 and the endolysin from P100 can be administered to food products, to the components that will be added to food products, and/or to the infrastructure of the food processing plants within which such food products are processed, or the containers or wraps in which such foods are stored and/or shipped, in order to reduce Listeria monocytogenes contamination. P100 can also be used in the present invention to identify Listeria monocytogenes bacteria present on (or within) foodstuffs, as well as those Listeria monocytogenes bacteria present in the equipment or the general environment of the food processing plants in which the foodstuffs are being processed and in animals infected with Listeria monocytogenes. The phage and the endolysin of the present invention can also be used to treat animals infected with Listeria monocytogenes. P100 will kill the bacteria that are within its host range with great efficiency and will propagate to high titer thereon. P100 can be combined with other lytic phage, and/or with other antimicrobial agents to reduce or eliminate Listeria.

Abstract: A method and system for use in a wireless-local-area network (WLAN), for simultaneously estimating the unknown multi-path channel and noise characteristics (68) and using the channel and noise estimates to improve system performance (67) in the presence of narrowband interferers. Estimates are made for the unknown multi-path channel and noise characteristic without a-priori knowledge of the location of the interference in the band and this information is used to generate soft-metrics (67) for a Viterbi decoder (71). By using the improved channel and noise estimates, the packet error rate (PER) of an 802.11g WLAN system may be maintained despite collisions with interfering packets thereby allowing the 802.11g system to be less sensitive to the interference.
