Title: Suction dredger
Inventor: RINKER KARL
IPC: E02F3/92
Filed: 1998-04-21
Granted: 2005-12-28
Abstract: A suction dredge for the planned taking up of suction material, particularly for excavating soil from underground pipes, has a pneumatic suction hose for taking up the suction material and at whose lower end is provided a suction stub. At its opposite, upper end the suction hose issues into a collecting tank. To simplify the handling of the suction stub, it is provided with a guide body fitted to the suction hose and a suction nozzle axially movable relative thereto and which by means of a drive mechanism can be retracted into and extended from the guide body. As a result the stroke frequency of the suction nozzle and/or its stroke length and/or the impact energy on the soil can be adjusted.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the control of a subscriber identity module (SIM) in a data communication system, preferably a mobile communication system. The data communication system includes first and second subscriber registers (HLR 1, HLR 2 ) for maintaining subscriber records defining a subscriber identity module registry, a short message transmission system (SMSC) for transmission of messages in the communication system, and a mobile station (MS) connected to the subscriber identity module (SIM) for use by a subscriber in effecting mobile communications through the data communication system. The subscriber identity module (SIM) stores therein data comprising a first subscriber code (IMSI 1 ) and an encrypted code key (K<SUB>i</SUB>) corresponding to a first subscription for the mobile station subscriber and associated with the subscriber identity module A record of data corresponding to the first subscription is created in the first subscriber register (HLR 1 ) when the first subscription is opened, the record comprising a first subscription specific call number (MSISDNx), the encryption code key (K<SUB>i</SUB>) and a subscriber identity code (IMSI 1 ) for the mobile station subscriber. A second subscription for the mobile station subscriber and associated with the subscriber identity module (SIM) is opened; a record corresponding to the opened second subscription and comprising a second subscription-specific call number (MSISDN), a second subscriber identity code (IMSI 1 ) and the encryption key (K<SUB>i</SUB>) is created in the second subscriber register (HLR 2 ); a message (SMS) is sent through the communication system directed to the first subscription and instructing that the data stored in the subscriber identity module be changed from data corresponding to the first subscription to data corresponding to the second subscription.

Abstract: According to the invention, a surface pattern (1) has N visually recognisable patterns consisting of diffractionally effective, microscopically fine relief structures or flat reflective surfaces, or comprising absorbent or dispersive structures. The N patterns together contain at least one common independent surface element (11). Said surface element (11) is divided into surface parts, said surface parts being arranged in a predetermined structure which is independent of the N patterns. Said arrangement of the surface parts is not visible to the naked eye. Each surface part is covered with an individual, microscopically fine diffraction structure or alternatively, a structure which has an absorbent or dispersive property or which is a flat reflective surface. The relief structures, diffraction structures and other structures are embedded in a plastic laminate (20) and the optical effect of said structures can be increased with a reflective layer (21). The surface pattern (1) is applied to a document (2) as a security element and enables said document to be recognised by machine in a reading device.

Abstract: The method involves clocking a first mains power converter (13), to supply a first intermediate circuit (17), and clocking a drive power converter (19) to supply power from the first intermediate circuit to a first drive unit (1) to produce a first partial moment (M). A second mains power converter is clocked to feed a second intermediate circuit. A second drive power converter is clocked to supply power from the second intermediate circuit to a second drive unit to produce a second partial moment.  The first partial moment is reduced to zero and the second partial moment is raised to the sum of the two partial moments. After the first partial moment is reduced to zero, the first mains power converter is blocked and the first intermediate circuit is reduced from an operating voltage to a standby voltage.
