Abstract: A self sealing vessel assembly for high pressure
microwave assisted chemistry is disclosed. The vessel
assembly includes a polymeric cylinder (12) and a circular
polymeric cap (13) for the cylinder, the cylinder being
closed at one end and open at the other end to receive the
cap. The open end of the cylinder has a lip that is
bevelled inwardly from the open end, and the circular
polymeric cap (13) has a bevelled lower edge that engages
the bevelled lip when the cap (13) is placed upon the
polymeric cylinder (12). For high pressure applications,
a choke cylinder depends from the bevelled lower edge of
the cap, and has an outer diameter substantially the same
as the inner diameter of the polymeric cylinder (12) so
that the choke provides a self sealing mechanism for the
cylinder as pressure from a chemical reaction increases
within the cylinder. A supporting frame (14) extends
along the cylinder (12) and across the lid (13) and across
the closed end of the cylinder, and prevents the lid from
being displaced from the cylinder when pressure is
generated inside of the vessel.

Abstract: The invention concerns locating mobile terminals in a mobile network.
A location estimate is determined based on a parameter set received
from the mobile network. In order to improve the accuracy of the system
without a need for extensive prior field measurements or laborious data collection,
a transition network is formed based on parameter sets. In said network
an individual node represents a parameter set having a given parameter
content, a link connecting two neighboring nodes represents a transition
between two successive locations of a mobile terminal, and the position of a
node relates to a certain geographical location. The transition network is then
optimized by adjusting the positions of the nodes by means of the positions
of their neighboring nodes and the movement within the network of some of
the nodes is limited. The position of the node representing a parameter set
received indicates the location of a mobile.
