For position determination with peer-to-peer communication, a target terminal broadcasts a request for assistance in determining its position. At least one ranging terminal receives the request. Each ranging terminal sends a response with a time of arrival (TOA) measurement for the request and the position of the ranging terminal. For two-way peer-to-peer, the target terminal receives at least one...

An electrolytic capacitor according to the present invention employs a capacitor element wherein an anode foil having an anode internal terminal and a cathode foil having a cathode internal terminal are wound or laminated through a separator. The end of the anode foil faces with the cathode foil through the separator and the surface area of the cathode internal terminal is provided with an enlarge...

The invention relates to a device for producing a metal strip (1) by continuous casting, using a casting machine (2) in which a slab (3), preferably a thin slab, is cast. At least one milling machine (4) is arranged in the direction of transport (F) of the slab (3) behind the casting machine (2), in which at least one surface of the slab (3), preferably two surfaces which are opposite to each othe...

The cast strip is cooled in a first section (6) between the continuous casting die (3) and the mechanical deformation stage (5). The heat transfer coefficient lies between 2500 W/m2>K and 20000 W/m2>K. In the next section (7), temperature equalization commences within the metal strip, with or without reduced surface cooling. The result is surface heating to a temperature exceeding Ac3 or Ar3 (temp...
