Abstract: With a device for error detection of adjustable flaps (1,2) on aircraft wings, it is proposed that each flap (1,2) is provided with a tube (7) as a transmission element arranged in the wing span. The tube (7) is connected fixedly at one end with the flap (1,2) and is rotatably held. On the free end of the tube, a measuring arm (11) is fixedly arranged on the tube (7) and a sensor (12) fixed to the flap structure is arranged. When an error occurs, the flap (1,2) twists, whereby a distance change between the sensor (12) and measuring arm (11) occurs. The signals of the sensor (12) are transmitted for error localization of each flap to an evaluation device, which switches off the drive via a control device with occurring errors.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing capacity and performance of a base station for a sectorized cellular wireless network is disclosed in which one of the sector antennas is replaced or supplanted by a novel sub-sector antenna that generates a plurality of asymmetrical sub-sector coverage areas that collectively substantially cover the coverage area of the replaced sector antenna. The use of asymmetrical coverage areas permits the total coverage area to closely approximate the symmetrical sector coverage area without creating excessively large sub-sector handover zones or introducing severe degradation in the network performance. This in turn permits the selective replacement of a single sector antenna rather than the wholesale replacement of all sector antennas in a region, leading to lower transitional costs and the ability to provide a focused approach to capacity planning.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un agent de prévention et de traitement de l'hyperplasie bénigne de la prostate (BPH) et de symptômes des voies urinaires inférieures (LUTS) associés à l'hyperplasie bénigne de la prostate (BPH) et un agent relaxant servant à relâcher le muscle lisse urétral ou le muscle lisse prostatique comprenant un composé pyrazolopyrimidinone comme principe actif. L'agent de cette invention peut produire des oxydes nitriques en inhibant l'activité de la PDE-5 qui décompose le c-GMP et les oxydes nitriques ainsi produits relâchent le muscle lisse urétral ou le muscle lisse prostatique dans le but d'abaisser la pression intra-urétrale (IUP), ce qui permet de traiter l'hyperplasie bénigne de la prostate (BPH) et les symptômes des voies urinaires inférieures (LUTS) qui lui sont associés. En outre, le temps qui lui est nécessaire pour atteindre une concentration sanguine maximum est réduit et sa demi-vie est plus longue que celle d'autres inhibiteurs de la PDE-5, ce qui réduit la fréquence d'administration. En outre, l'agent de cette invention ne causant que peu d'effets secondaires, il peut être efficacement utilisé sans danger comme médicament.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to RF receiver technology and are particularly concerned with aspects of decoding data received at low data rates. In one arrangement, an RF receiver comprises a signal processor arranged to perform a method of decoding data contained within a signal that comprises a set of slots, at least one said slot comprising a preamble portion and a payload portion and being transmitted at a predetermined transmission frequency. The signal processor is arranged to perform a first process to derive timing data from the preamble portion and perform a second process to extract information from the payload portion, the second process being triggered from said timing data derived from the first process. The preamble portion comprises at least a first sequence of data and a second sequence of data, and the second sequence is the inverse of the first sequence. In preferred embodiments the first process comprises identifying a transition between said first and second sequences of data and deriving said timing data from the identified transition. The sequences of data can be embodied as a repeating pattern comprising at least two elements, e.g. first sequence can comprise 24 pairs of {1, 0} "dotting" and the second sequence can comprise 8 pairs of {0, 1} "anti- dotting". This transposition, or interface, between the first and second sequences is identified by components of the signal processor, and enables the receiver to identify bit timing associated with the preamble.
