Abstract: The invention proposes a hoisting-cable drive for a mobile crane, which hoisting-cable drive uses a single bottom-hook block ( 15 ) instead of a known double bottom-hook block. However, to prevent this single bottom-hook block ( 15 ) from tilting in the two cable lines ( 9, 10 ), for example due to possible variations in the elongation of the two cable drives, the hoisting-cable drive according to the invention comprises a kinematic force equilibrium device ( 17, 21 ), which can equalize such differences. To this effect, another embodiment of the hoisting-cable drive according to the invention uses a hoisting-cable load pickup ( 21 ) within each cable line arrangement so that the rotary speed of the winches ( 7, 8 ) can be varied, taking into account any load differences in the individual hoisting-cable lines ( 9, 10 ). Furthermore, the invention also proposes that the rotary speed of the winches ( 7, 8 ) be adjusted, taking into account the geometric winch states and crane states.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhanced uplink multiplexing are disclosed. A set of combinations of MAC-d flows (and/or logical channels) that are allowed to be multiplexed within a MAC-e PDU is defined for a WTRU. The WTRU MAC-e entity selects a combination among a set of allowed combinations for multiplexing MAC-d flows for each MAC-e PDU. Certain MAC-d flow combinations may be defined that can not be blocked from transmission even when the WTRU is in a transmit power restricted state. The amount of data from each logical channel or corresponding MAC-d flow that can be multiplexed within a MAC-e PDU may be defined to ensure guaranteed data rates. When the WTRU is in a restricted power condition, an indication of the restricted power condition may be passed to the Node-B with the EU transmission.

Abstract: A container with a corresponding bottle neck having a capsule inside of which a substance is placed that is to be released into the bottle contents. This invention avoids having to sterilize the contents again after the container has been aseptically filled, even though the substance in the capsule often does not endure these temperatures. Thus, this invention provides a method with the following steps: a) aseptic filling of the plastic bottle; b) welding a first membrane onto the container neck; c) placing the substance, which is to be released into the plastic bottle, on the first membrane that is already welded on; d) covering the substance, which is to be released, by a second membrane and welding the second membrane to the first membrane. Lastly, a closure with a secured tamper-evident layer is placed over the capsule and onto the bottle neck.

Abstract: Systems and method for immobilizing a target such as a human or animal with a stimulus signal coupled to the target via numerous electrodes select particular electrodes to use for the stimulus signal. Subsets of electrodes may be tested by applying a test signal and monitoring the energy or charge delivered during a prescribed time. If the delivered energy or charge using a particular subset of electrodes as indicated by monitoring test pulse amplitude suitably compares to a limit, then the particular subset is selected for applying the stimulus signal. A first stimulus signal may be applied to a first subset of electrodes to prompt movement of the target toward an electrode that, when better coupled to the target as a consequence of movement of the target will provide a more effective subset of electrodes for further stimulus. For example, a projectile with closely spaced electrodes may stimulate a burning sensation to attract the target to impale the target's hand on a rear facing electrode of the projectile. Use of the rear facing electrode and one or more of the closely spaced electrodes may provide a more effective stimulus circuit through tissue of the target.
