Abstract: The device has an audio player, a sound transducer(s) connected to the player via a signal connection and sound transducer orientation data sensors. The player compares current orientation data with reference data to detect a sound transducer orientation change in space. A controler controls a sound output signal filter so a virtual sound source formed by the transducer remains essentially fixed in space if the transducer orientation changes.  The device has an audio player, at least one sound transducer connected to the audio player via a signal connection and sensors for detecting orientation data regarding the orientation of the sound transducer in space. The audio player compares current orientation data with reference data to detect a change in orientation of the sound transducer in space and a controler controls a sound output signal filter so a virtual sound source formed by the transducer remains essentially fixed in space when the transducer orientation changes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer program products and data structures are described which allow a client to communicate with a server even though multiple proxies that require different authentication data must be traversed to allow such communication. In operation, the client first authenticates to a first proxy using authentication data appropriate for the first proxy. The client then authenticates to a second proxy using different authentication data that is appropriate for the second proxy. This proxy authentication continues through as many proxies as necessary until the client is in communication with the server. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The conveyor belt (3) has a sealing strip (14) near the suction openings (9). This is made of a soft, resilient material. The belt is held by grip-around edge-strips (15). These help bias the belt against the support surface (24).  The sealing strip Shore Hardness is less than that of the rest of the conveyor belt. The belt has teeth (17) on the rear, close to the sealing strip. A wear-resistant sliding layer (23) covers the sealing strip surface which lies against the support surface. The side grips (15) are height-adjustable. A row of suction cups (5) on the transport side of the belt is connected to the suction openings (9). The side strips extend close to the cup locations and are specially profiled to project almost as much as the cups, away from the belt. The cups clip-in resiliently, or are attached by holders on the belt. Further ancillary detail is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of plants with suppressed photorespiration and improved CO2 fixation. In particular, the invention relates to a re-use of phosphoglycolate produced in photorespiration. The reaction product will be converted to a component that may be reintegrated into the plant assimilatory metabolism inside the chloroplast. This is accomplished by the transfer of genes derived from glycolate-utilizing pathways from bacteria, algae, plants and/or animals including humans into the plant nuclear and/or plastidial genome. The method of the invention leads to a reduction of photorespiration in C3 plants and by this will be of great benefit for food production especially but not exclusively under non-favourable growth conditions.
