Abstract: The invention concerns a dispenser, in particular for semi-solid or liquid systems, with a housing to hold a dispenser unit which is formed by a storage container, a metering unit (3) connected therewith via which the substance can be output in defined doses and an activation mechanism (4) which can activate the metering unit (3) to output a dose of substance, where the dispenser unit is held via a reservoir holder (5) in the housing (1). Known dispensers have the disadvantage that the dispenser unit is not held securely against tipping. The invention avoids this in that the storage container (2) is formed with a lower volume area (2″) and an upper volume area (2′) which to form the reservoir holder between its upper and lower end has a constricted shoulder area (9) with an inwardly angled setting surface, where the housing (1) has a corresponding support surface (10) to support the setting surface.

Abstract: A method of matching a receive-only antenna (60) for use in receiving video signals in which measurements made on a transceiver's antenna (14) when in an transmitting mode are used in matching the receive-only antenna. The ratio of the amplitude of the reflected signal to the strength of the transmitted signal strength is used not only in selecting components for matching the transceiver's antenna (14) but also in selecting components for matching the receive-only antenna (60). The ratio may be applied to respective look-up tables (54, 64) for selecting the components to be used in matching the respective antennas.

Abstract: Testing a display involves display of a series of test patterns, each at a different luminance or colour, and with a predetermined minimum difference of luminance or colour from their background, each pattern being unpredictable to a user, and determining if the user has correctly identified the patterns. This can enable a more objective test without needing external measuring equipment. Calibrating the display involves determining an output luminance level by detecting a minimal difference of drive signal to give a just noticeable output luminance difference at a given high luminance drive level, and determining an absolute luminance of the given high input luminance level from the minimal difference and from a predetermined human characteristic of visibility threshold of luminance changes. This can avoid the need for an external or internal sensor. This can be useful during conformance checks, or during calibration of the display for example.

Abstract: A mobile station MS1 can communicate through a PLMN 2 and also through a number of local wireless networks e.g. WLAN 6 and WiMAX'7. When the user of MS1 wishes to run an application, for example an video player application, a suitable one of the networks is selected for the communication by obtaining data from the candidate networks using SIP INVITE messages that produce responses containing network parameter data for each of the candidate networks. The handset MS1 may also monitor local network traffic to determine network congestion and also check past history to determine whether many handovers have been made during previous sessions. The data is collated and checked with a service provider 10 so that a network selection decision can be made.
