Abstract: Apparatus for reducing the sound pressure level (SPL) heard by a user of a mobile terminal (60), such as a cellular phone, when listening with an ear sealed to the mobile terminal (60) and for providing adequate sound when the ear is not sealed to the mobile terminal (60). Some sound is laterally ported away from the ear-sealing region (50) on the terminal (60) such that the SPL heard with a sealed ear may be controlled to be within regulatory requirements. The need for mechanical or proximity switches may be reduced or eliminated. Adequate SPLs are provided when the ear is not sealed to the device (60) by the combined use of distal (76,104) and central ports (68,70).

Abstract: High molecular weight random polyhydroxypolyamides (PHPAs) are produced by creating prepolymers which are further polymerized. Random prepolymers are formed from a stoichiometrically molar balance (1:1) starting material. The starting material is a 1:1 stoichiometrically balanced esterified aldaric acid:alkylene or alkylene derived diammonium salt. Alternatively, the starting material is an esterified stoichiometrically balanced diacid:diamine salt and a N'-ammoniumalkyl (or alkyl derived)-D-aldaramic acid terminal carboxylate zwitterionic salt mixture. The starting materials are polymerized in a basic alcohol using a second amine. The polymerized material, or the random prepolymers, are isolated and then further polymerized in a solvent, typically a mixed solvent of an alcohol and non-alcohol, to obtain the high molecular weight PHPAs.

Abstract: Fuze including safety element (30) includes an acceleration detector (31) that acts on a timer (32) coacting with a primer housing rotor (14). Rotation of the rotor can be halted by a second safety device (35) responsive to the dynamic pressure generated by the speed of the projectile (11) in flight. For this purpose, the device includes a diaphragm (36) engaging a flexible blade (51) to space apart the end (55) of the blade and the rotor when the dynamic pressure has a predetermined value, whereby a primer (18) can be moved into line in the explosive train. When the dynamic pressure is too low, the end (55) stops the rotor (14) from rotating and the firing procedure is also blocked in a notch in the rotor (14). The resulting fuze thus has highly reliable dual safety element responsive to two separate physical phenomena and having a simple construction.

Abstract: A common element of graphical user interfaces is a list from which an item can be
chosen by the user. The user is often offered the option to re-arrange the items or
entries in such a list. This re-arranging is tedious and time consuming if items are
moved one by one in large lists. Moreover in cases where such lists are stored in
non-volatile memory, like EEPROM or FLASH memory, the content would have to be
written after every single item is shifted. This could unduly reduce the lifetime of such
a non-volatile memory. It is the object of the present invention to provide a simplified
and more user-friendly way for sorting entries in a list of a graphical user interface.
This object is achieved by a method which comprises the steps of displaying at least
a part of the list (S11), selecting items out of the list and pasting the selected items
into a second list in a defined order (S12), selecting a position in the first list, where
the second list is to be inserted (S13), and inserting the items from the second list
into the first list in their order in the second list, starting with the first item of the
second list at the user-selected position of the first list (S14).

Abstract: An additive for cement-based matrices, essentially composed of an "AR" (Alkaline-Resistant) glass yarn. 
     With respect to prior art additives, the AR glass yarn of the invention offers the advantage of being water-repellent, that is, it prevents conventional phenomena of dimensional instability of the applied product. The additive of the invention also has the advantage that it can be milled to sufficiently small dimensions, making it compatible for mixture with aggregates. Glass yarn micro-reinforcements are thereby obtained which, by providing continuity to the structure of applied cement-based matrices, accentuate the mechanical resistance of the product (mortar coatings or cement-based paint).
