Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for cleaning and rinsing drinking vessels, comprising a plastic base (3) arranged on suction legs (2) and at least one pre-rinse pan (4) which is secured thereto and open towards the top, in addition to a post-rinse device (5) arranged close thereto and provided with a vertical conductor tube (6) for a supply of water. The post-rinse device (5) and the pre-rinse pan are joined to a common water connection (5) on the base (3). The invention is characterized in that the base (3) is configured as a watertight encapsulated hollow body, whereby the water feed (s) for the pre-rinse and post-rinse device is/are disposed therein. The connections leading to the spray tubes of the post-rinse device and the connections leading to the pre-rinse pan of the pre-rinse device are encapsulated against contact with the water which surrounds the device in the rinsing basins of public houses and similar establishments and are protected against mechanical damage and deposits of dirt. The connections for the supply of fresh water to said device and the water feeds for the distribution of fresh water to the pre-rinse device and post-rinse device are assembled by the manufacturer in such a way that they are fully protected against mechanical damage and impurities even before the device is used. A single external connecting sleeve is disposed on the lower side of the base in order to secure a water hose for the water feed to the rinsing device. Said sleeve can be easily detached for cleaning purposes and re-attached to the device.

Abstract: A personal communications apparatus comprises an elongate body 202 incorporating an antenna diversity arrangement in which first and second antennas (102A, 102B) are located at opposite ends of the body.  In one embodiment a microphone (114) is located at the tip of one antenna (102A) and a loudspeaker (116) at the tip of the other antenna (102B). The microphone (114) and loudspeaker (116) act as top loads to their respective antennas, thereby enabling the use of shorter antennas. The antennas (102A, 102B) may be formed from coaxial cable, enabling them to provide electrical connections between the microphone (114) or loudspeaker (116) and transceiver circuitry in the body of the apparatus. By arranging for the microphone (114) and loudspeaker (116) to have low impedances at radio frequencies, the coaxial cable acts as an inductive stub and enables the antennas (102A, 102B) to be further shortened.

Abstract: A fabric particularly useful in the manufacture of occupant support structures is described. The fabric is desirably leno woven to have a high degree of openness and such that at least a plurality of the yarn intersections are stabilized from relative motion. The fabric includes elastomeric synthetic yarns in at least one fabric direction. At least some of the points of yarn intersection can be supplementally stabilized from relative motion, such as through the use of bicomponent yarns having a sheath which is melted to secure intersecting yarns together. The fabric is also resistant to ultraviolet irradiation so that it retains its physical properties after accelerated exposure to UV irradiation. The fabric provides good support and ventilation, and is suitable for use as a surface fabric in automotive and seating applications.

IPC: H04W24/08

Abstract: A signal is received in the presence of noise and interference by demodulating the signal when a relationship between the signal and the noise and the interference meets a criterion, and by jointly demodulating the signal when the relationship between the signal and the noise and the interference does not meet the criterion. Moreover, the signal may be demodulated if a relationship between the noise and the interference meets a second criterion and may be jointly demodulated if the relationship between the noise and the interference does not meet the second criterion. More specifically, demodulation may be performed when the signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio exceeds a first threshold and joint demodulation may be performed when the signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio is less than the first threshold. Moreover, the signal may be jointly demodulated if the interference-to-noise ratio exceeds a second threshold, and the signal may be demodulated if the interference-to-noise ratio is less than the second threshold. Thus, if the desired signal power is high relative to noise and interference, joint demodulation may be skipped and demodulation may be performed. Moreover, if the desired signal power is not large compared to interference-and-noise, joint demodulation may be used only when the interference power is high relative to the noise power. Finally, an interfering signal's synchronization word may be found in the received signal, and the power of the interfering signal relative to the noise power may be determined from the located interfering signal synchronization word, to thereby determine the interference-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the interfering signal's synchronization word that is detected can provide improved estimation of the interfering signal's channel estimate, which can be estimated in terms of the interfering signal's medium response compared to the composite channel response.

Abstract: A separator (33) partitions an upstream side air passage
of a bypass passage (34) into first and second sub passages (35a,

(35b) is smaller than minimum flow passage area S1 of the first
sub passage (35a), so that flow passage loss of the second sub
passage (35b) is larger than flow passage loss of the first sub

air-flow pulsates is corrected to be larger.

the condenser reservoir (5), whereafter the medium condenses against the
heat exchanger (9), while the heat of condensation absorbed by the heat
exchanger (9) is removed to a heat consuming process.   
The method is characterized in that between successive heat generation
phases, in a high-pressure vapor reservoir filling phase, at least the following
step is carried out:
   increasing the pressure in the condenser reservoir (5) and/or lowering the
pressure in the high-pressure vapor (1), such that medium in liquid form (ML)
flows back from the condenser reservoir (5) to the high-pressure vapor
reservoir (1).
