An improved goniometer has an angular rate sensor and a computer for integrating the signal from the angular rate sensor to produce an angle signal. The angle signal is adjusted from time to time, manually or automatically to reduce drift from integration. For automatic adjustment, an accelerometer may be used to provide a reference signal with which the angle signal may be compared. The angle sig...

Device for filtering a liquid. The filter device is provided with at least two filter elements (8, 15) placed parallel to each other. A three-way cock (6, 13) is accommodated in the pipe (4, 5) to each filter element (8, 15) for connection of the inflow opening of each filter element (8, 15) to a mains system (3) for supplying the liquid with sufficient pressure to press the liquid through the fil...

An essentially C-shaped tool holder (10), preferably having a long inner edge, which holder at its free shank ends can carry a tool such as a riveting, glueing or welding unit. The holder (10) comprises a truss or frame work which includes an outer and an inner C-shaped frame (11, 23) and a plurality of slewing brackets (27-32) connected to the C-shaped frames. The frames (11, 23) and the slewing ...

Co-channel interference accompanying multiple-level symbols in a digital receiver, such as a digital television receiver, is suppressed by using a first comb filter to reduce the energy of the co-channel interference before data slicing. The first comb filter incidentally precodes the symbol decoding results generated by the data slicing. A second comb filter postcodes the precoded symbol decoding...

The present invention relates to a liquid atomizer device for producing aerosols. The device includes a first housing part (A) which includes an inner member (3) of an atomizer nozzle and a first connection for connecting the first housing part (A) to a further housing part to form a nebulizing chamber (1), and further includes a second housing part (B) that includes an outer member of the atomize...

The present invention provides an IP telephony gateway. According to a first aspect of the invention, the gateway provides communications between a switched circuit network (SCN) and an IP network. The gateway can handle calls between clients on the switched circuit network and IP clients on the IP network. The gateway provides supplementary call services/features for calls to/from IP clients on t...

The invention comprises a method and arrangement for charging a closed lead battery (101). When the battery is charged, the terminal voltage of the battery, the internal temperature of the battery (Tb) and the ambient temperature (Ta) are monitored. Each temperature has a separate effect on the charging current (I) of the battery: when the temperature rises, the charging current is reduced, and wh...

A planetary gear train for a wind power station having at least one rotatable blade, including a frame, a driven shaft coupled to the frame and rotated by the at least one blade, a planet carrier coupled to the frame and the driven shaft, the planet carrier being structured and arranged to rotate with the driven shaft, at least one planet gear rotatably coupled to the planet carrier, each of the a...

A method of adapting the ignition timing in an internal combustion engine to the crankshaft position depending on variations in engine rpm, load and overlap between the inlet and exhaust valves. The ratio between combusted and non-combusted gas in cylinders is computed, and this ratio is utilized, in such a way that the greater the proportion of combusted gas there is, the earlier the ignition wil...

The absorbent layer (1) has converging bend lines (13, 14) extending in the length direction on either side of the towel length symmetry axis (A-A) in the rear and intermediate regions (5, 6) of the towel. A sanitary towel contains an absorbent layer enclosed within liquid-permeable and impermeable layers which has converging length direction bend lines extending on either side of the towel lengt...

A communication method for increasing security for information communicating between a user terminal and a service provider via a PPP (point-to-point protocol) server is disclosed. A dial-up connection is set up between the user terminal and the PPP server via a public network and an Internet access route is set up between the PPP server and the WWW server through the Internet. When card ID inform...

A memory compression and expansion section (11 of Fig. 1) applies compression to a decoded image, and it is stored in a frame memory. Based on an occupied content of the frame memory (Fig. 1 106), in case that the coded bit number for a single or a plurality of memory compression processing units or for every control unit of memory compression processing exceeds the bit number of a memory access u...
