The present invention is directed to a wet shaving system having an electronic indicator for indicating when the blades are becoming dull and in need of replacement. As razor blades dull, the user must exert greater force during shaving to achieve a satisfactory shave. Upon exertion of this extra force, a piston which is adjacent to the blades moves away from the blades in response to the increase...

A strong, flexible and vandalism-resistant panel is provided. The panel includes a flexible wire skeleton structure such as a chain link structure embedded in a layer of polymer material such as rubber, synthetic rubber or another suitable polymer material. The chain link structure is made from parallel flat helical link sections connected by curved cross-sections. The panel of the present inventi...

An access control database has access control objects that collectively store information that specifies access rights by users to specified sets of the managed objects. The specified access rights include access rights to obtain management information from the network. An access control server provides users access to the managed objects in accordance with the access rights specified by the acces...

Landscape lighting includes a shaft excavated in a ground surface. A telescopic pole assembly, which is movable between a telescopically extended position and a retracted position, is anchored within the shaft. The entire telescopic pole assembly is concealed within the shaft when in the retracted position. When in the telescopically extended position, the telescopic pole assembly extends out of t...

A method and apparatus for determining parameters of a medium, preferably a highly scattering medium such as living tissue. At least two spaced light sources provide light through the tissue or other medium to at least two spaced detectors, with the spacing between the light sources and the detectors being constrained to certain dimensions. The combined data received by such detectors can provide ...

Methods and arrangements are provided for transmitting information in a message using an existing message based service in a digital mobile network. According to the invention, the message is provided with an information field intended to be extracted from the message by the receiver. Furthermore, the message is provided with a pointer field in a position which is given by a predetermined rule whi...

The invention relates to a method for shaping a hollow body from a tubular blank inserted into a shaping tool that can be opened and closed, by internal high pressure introduced into the interior of the blank. The cross section of the blank, prior to the internal high-pressure shaping, can be changed and pre-shaped from a round or rectangular shape, depending on the workpiece. In order to be able ...

A method of determining propagation-delay changes in the send-and-receive transmission paths connecting two communications units (A, B) in a communications system employs a multi-stage process in which, in first stage - in which it assumed that the propagation delays are equal - approximations (tp1*, tp2*) of the propagation delays (tp1, tp2) are derived in the two units, a value (dt) of the phase...

The root feeder comprises a nozzle placed at e.g. stump height, containing holes through which natural or synthetic nutrient liquids or gases are sprayed onto the tree.

A reinforcing fabric (2) is attached to one side of the panel (1) via an epoxy resin layer (9), then the panel is heated before forming against a mandrel (10) or mould. A method for forming a bent and/or shaped article of expanded or extruded styrene foam, comprises attaching a flexible fabric with adhesive (7) to the side of the article which will be bent into a convex-curved shape, the fabric b...

In a wireless communication system including a number of base stations (102, 104, 106) for serving mobile stations (108) present in the system, the position of a mobile station during a voice call in progress is determined by performing time or angle measurements using a positioning signal between the mobile station and a required number of the base stations. Means (138, 152) are provided for dete...
