Abstract: In a machine for making filter bags for infusion
products, a flattened tube (34) is used which is
made from a web (17) of filter paper that: is heat-sealable
by thermal reactivation of a layer of
glue; is fed continuously in the horizontal
position; has individual charges (19) of the
infusion product placed on its top surface at
suitable intervals; and, lastly, is gradually
folded onto itself until its longitudinal edges
(18) are juxtaposed. An apparatus (250) for sealing
the tube (34) comprises an operator block (94)
bearing two rows (251) of emitters (96) designed to
give off a gaseous fluid heated to a suitable
temperature. The operator block (94), accommodated
inside the tube (34) with the emitters (96) aligned
and juxtaposed with the edges (18), directs the
fluid against internal faces (97) of the tube (34)
directly at the layer of glue on the web (17) which
is simultaneously folded around the operator block
(94) itself.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of embedding an additional layer of error correction into an error correcting code, wherein information is encoded into code words of said code over a first Galois field and wherein a number of code words are arranged in the columns of a code block comprising a user data sub-block and a parity data sub-block. In order to provide an additional layer of error correction that can be easily implemented without losing compatibility improving the error correction capabilities, a method is proposed comprising the steps of: - encoding the rows of at least said user data sub-block separately or in groups using a horizontal error correcting code over a second Galois field larger than said first Galois field to obtain horizontal parities, - embedding said horizontal parities as additional layer in said error correcting code.

Abstract: A target device's location in a radio network is estimated by maintaining a probabilistic model for several sample points that indicate expected distributions of signal values at a given location. The target device observes signal values, wherein the sequence of observations and the respective locations constitute a Hidden Markov Model. A graph models the topology of the positioning environment. The graph indicates several nodes which are permissible locations in the environment and several arcs which are permissible transitions between two nodes. The graph is used to estimate the target device's location based on the probabilistic model and the sequence of observations.
