Abstract: An improved digital-to-analog converter comprises a reference node, switches providing an input digital signal, and an output stage including at least one resistive element. A resistance ladder, coupled to the switches, includes branches corresponding respectively to bit positions, in which selective operation of the switches in response to the input digital signal produces a corresponding analog output signal from the output stage. The ladder includes a first trim structure coupled to the most significant bit position (MSB) and a second trim structure in the output stage resistive element or elements. The first trim structure is configured to adjust the gain of the converter without affecting the relative bit weights of the bit positions, and wherein the resistances of the first and second trim structures are substantially of a prescribed ratio prior to any trimming.

Abstract: A transport vehicle (1) for transporting chickens has a compartment (3) and a cab (15) which is situated in front of and at a distance d from the compartment. There are ventilating fans (17) in the compartment's front wall (5) which blow air from inside the compartment to the outside. By extracting air from the compartment (3) at the front instead of blowing air into the compartment at the front, better ventilation is obtained.  In the compartment's rear wall (7) are air vents (19) for taking in fresh air. There is a sponge (23) made of plastic wire in front of the air vents (19) for creating resistance to the air flowing in. Because of this, an underpressure is created in the compartment (3) near the air vents (19), assuring that air will flow in through all air vents (19) and that the situation will be averted in which air will flow in only at one place, that where the least resistance is offered.

Abstract: The present proposes an antenna for use in portable electronic equipment for wireless communication. The antenna (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) comprises a first chassis element (1) of the portable electronic equipment, a second chassis element of the portable electronic equipment, an interconnection element (3) for galvanically interconnecting the first chassis element (1) with the second chassis element (2), and an inductive coupling element. The inductive coupling element is adapted to inductively couple to a current on the first chassis element (1), the second chassis element (2), and the interconnection element (3). A first antenna-feeding terminal (7b) is connected to ground of the first chassis element (1). The geometrical form of the first chassis element (1), the second chassis element (2), and the interconnection element (3) is designed for the electrical length of the chassis formed by the first chassis element, the second chassis element, and the interconnection element to correspond to an odd multiple of a half-wavelength resonance at a specified frequency. The inductive coupling element comprises a first conducting line (5), the first end of which is electrically connected to a second antenna-feeding terminal (7a), and the second end of which is electrically connected to an electrode of a tuning capacitor (6) having its other electrode electrically connected to ground of the second chassis element (6). The capacitance of said tuning capacitor (6) is thereby dimensioned for the input impedance between the first feeding terminal (7b) and the second feeding terminal (7a) to be of a defined and substantially real value at the specified frequency.

Abstract: A power tool has a base (110), a main unit (130), a cutter (151), a bolt (117), an engagement member (138), and a unit. The base has a sliding surface (110A) slidable on a workpiece, another surface opposite to the sliding surface, and an opening in the base. The main unit is movable in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the sliding surface. The cutter is driven by an electric motor in the main unit to protrude through the opening from the sliding surface during an operation. The bolt (117) extends in the first direction on the first side, a first male thread (117B), and one end supported by the base. The bolt is rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The engagement member (138) has a first female thread (138b) threadably engaged with the male thread. The engagement member is movable between an engaged position with the bolt and a disengaged position therewith. The unit (139,142,143) maintains the engagement member at the disengaged position in a second direction. The rotation of the bolt causes the first male thread portion (117B) to thread with respect to the first female thread portion (138b), thereby moving the main unit in the first direction and adjusting a distance of the main unit to the sliding surface.

The network includes a first network element, the element is adscript to a second element and a third element which are in the same ringnet as the first element. The method comprises the steps: the service which is transmitted from the first network element is setup and transmitted on the second network element and the status of the service is detected; and transmit a switch message to the third network element when a occurrence of failure of the service between the first element and the second element is detected, then the third network element setups and transmits the fault service between the first network element and the second network element using the network resource of the ringnet allocated for the fault service by the second network element before the service fails according to the switch message. According to the present invention, a large amount of the network resource of ringnet is saved and the rapid switch of the fault service is implemented.

Abstract: The invention relates to the modular use of open-pore metallic sponges as duroplastic bone replacement in accident surgery and orthopedics, the application thereof being particularly suitable for the permanent filling of post-traumatic bone defects and bone lesions related to osteoporosis or tumors in the case of elderly patients. According to the invention, a spongy metallic implant (3, 6, 7, 8) is provided as alloplastic bone replacement. Said implant solely consists of one or more connected, graduated open-pore metallic sponge structures which are configured as a modular system or are individually formed on the basis of a custom made CT evaluation. Preferably, titanium or a titanium alloy is used as material; the metallic sponge formed therewith is characterized by a very high porosity. A special method is used for producing the structure, allowing thereby the production of relatively thick webs in comparison to those known in prior art and thus ensuring a high amount of dimensional stability of the metallic sponge. For this reason, the implant does not require a supporting metallic core, especially since it allows the complete penetration of the bone.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for encoding out of order data packets in a network are described. At a source unit, an out-of-order parameter is selected as the maximum out of order range value of data packets to be encoded with a minimum header size. A shifting parameter is then calculated using the selected out-of-order parameter. For a new data packet received, having a predetermined header field value, an interpretation interval is further calculated as a function of the shifting parameter and a reference value of a header field within a previously transmitted data packet. An encoding and compression algorithm is then applied to the predetermined header field value using the calculated interpretation interval, and the compressed value is further transmitted to a destination unit.
