Abstract: The countersunk head screw (1) has a cone face (6) with rib projections (16) distributed over the circumference, defining a cone face. The rib projections have external locating faces (18) defining the cone face and which with regard to their surface area are designed in dependence upon a material-specific surface pressure to such degree that with the use of the screw for fastening of fittings and suchlike by screwing into a countersunk hole a defined surface pressure results between the rib projections and countersunk hole, eliminating surface damage. When using the screw with direct screwing into a soft material such as wood the screw has a cutting action.

Abstract: A despreading section 104 outputs a signal
indicative of the number of paths through which
despreading is performed to a likelihood calculating
section 108. The fD detecting section 107 detects
Doppler frequency (fD) that is a fading variation
of the propagation path between each communication
terminal apparatus and a base station apparatus from
the despread signal. A likelihood calculating
section 108 calculates likelihood of a report value
transmitted from each communication terminal apparatus
based on the number of paths which despreading is
performed and the Doppler frequency. A transmission
destination deciding section 151 decides a
communication terminal apparatus that transmits a
high-speed downlink packet based on a determination
value obtained by multiplying the report value by the
likelihood. A modulation scheme deciding section 152
decides an encoding rate of the high-speed downlink
packet and a modulation scheme thereof based on the
determination value. Accordingly, in high-speed
downlink packet access, the error included in the
report value is considered to perform transmission,
making it possible to attain a reduction in the
number of retransmission, improvement in
transmission efficiency, and an increase in system
capacity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the removal of dangerous or high-energy material comprising a pressure-resistant external housing (2), wherein material, whose end products are non-dangerous, can be reacted in controlled conditions.  A fluidised bed, which can move from top to bottom, can be displaced inside the external housing (2).  Said fluidised bed is formed in a state of dynamic equilibrium between a) a bulk material feed and the material which is to be removed and b) the discharge of a mixture of products originating from the bulk material and the reaction.  At least one chicane (6) is arranged inside the fluidised bed, surrounding a central area wherein the fluidised bed can be essentially axially displaced, without impediment, to the bottom and in an annular area surrounding the central area delaying the axial displacement of the fluidised bed.  As a result the quantities of the bulk material in circulation are reduced, having an advantageous effect on the overall energy resources of said device.  Said chicane (6) protects the wall of the external housing (2) and enables a sensor (8)to be installed, said sensor measuring the physical conditions in the reaction area, on a surface which is not orientated towards the central area where the reactions occur and optionally, supply pipes for auxiliary substances, for example hot or cold gas or chemicals.
