Abstract:
A wireless communication device (11) including a proximity application (11c) using a short-range radio link and using group codes (11d) for a simple determination of potential common interests with users of correspondingly configured wireless communication devices (12). The group codes (11d) indicate membership in a group of people having at least one common attribute or interest.
Abstract:
Supercharged internal combustion engine with two separate exhaust manifolds (2a,2b) from individual cylinder groups and two separate inlet manifolds (3a,3b) each leading to a respective cylinder group. An inlet conduit (9) from a supercharger (6) leads to an equalising chamber (11), from which two tuned resonance tubes (12,13) lead to the inlet manifolds. From the exhaust manifolds a pair of exhaust recirculation conduits (19a,21a,19b,21b), each containing a control valve (18a,18b) controlled by a control unit (16) for controlling the exhaust recirculation, lead to the inlet manifolds. The control unit is disposed to open the control valves when the exhaust pressure is higher than the pressure in the inlet manifolds.
Abstract:
Device for controlling the engine braking power of an internal combustion engine (1) in a motor vehicle, which is equipped with a compression braking device arranged in brake mode to open the exhaust valves at the end of the induction stroke, at the end of the compression stroke or only at the latter, and an exhaust-driven turbocompressor unit (3) with a turbine portion (30), which has variable geometry to vary the degree of charge of the compressor (8). Restrictor valve elements (42) are arranged in the exhaust conduit (41) upstream of the turbine portion (30).
Abstract:
Exhaust valve mechanism in an internal combustion engine, comprising a valve play take-up mechanism in the form of a piston (8) disposed in a cylinder chamber (7) at one end of a rocker arm (1) and a hydraulic circuit with valve means (20) for supplying and draining oil to and from the cylinder chamber. Controlled check valve means (22) prevent, at a certain pressure in the hydraulic circuit, drainage of oil from the cylinder chamber. A bypass valve (40) controlled by the rocking movement of the rocker arm opens for draining the cylinder chamber before the exhaust valve reaches the top of its lift curve.
Abstract:
A WLAN router connected via a cellular network (e.g. LTE) to the Internet is disclosed; a plurality of SIMs (subscriptions), each associated with a user of the router, may be plugged into the router (or soft SIMs used); simultaneous Internet access for a plurality of users is achieved, even if the WLAN router does only have one TX/RX equipment, by the following features: the WLAN router—when receiving a portion of network traffic for a user—determines the subscription that the portion is associated with and updates a data usage quota for the subscription accordingly by an amount of data corresponding to said portion; thereafter, it is decided whether future network traffic for that subscription shall be transmitted over the same network connection or another subscription's network connection based on the updated data usage quota; thus, the router carries out load balancing between the subscriptions.

Abstract:
Teachings herein compose a digital image so that the image is perceptible on a viewing surface, such as a projection surface or a transparent screen. In doing so, the teachings advantageously recognize a digital image as consisting of one or more logical objects, like buttons of a user interface. Often, logical objects may be spatially arranged within the image and/or colored in different possible ways without substantially affecting the meaning conveyed by the image. Exploiting this, teachings herein evaluate light reflected from, or transmitted through, the viewing surface, and compose the digital image from one or more logical objects that have a spatial arrangement or coloration determined in dependence on that evaluation. The teachings might, for example, place a logical object within the image so that it will be displayed on a region of the surface which has high contrast with the object's colors and/or low color variance.
Abstract:
A method for communicating a data object between sending and receiving portable electronic devices (200′, 200) is disclosed. Both devices have graphical user interfaces including display means having respective display areas. The method involves detecting (420′) a drag action of a drag-and-drop operation being performed in a border region (240′) of the display area (250′) of the sending device (200′); communicating (422′) a command (AcceptDrag) over a short-range communication channel between the sending and receiving devices; receiving (420) the command in the receiving device (200); continuing (430) the drag-and-drop operation in the graphical user interface of the receiving device; detecting (440) a drop action of the drag-and-drop operation being performed in the display area (250) of the receiving device; transferring (452′) a data object associated with the drag-and-drop operation from the sending device to the receiving device; and receiving (450) the data object in the receiving device. A portable electronic device capable of acting as the receiving device in the method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of operating a data-processing unit to produce a transform comprises calculating first and second output data values based at least on first and second input data values. The method comprises reading the first and second input data values from locations of a first buffer, the locations being determined by first and second read addresses based on first and second read indices. The method also comprises writing the first and second output data values to adjacent memory locations of a second buffer during a single write cycle. Furthermore, the method comprises reading third and fourth input data values from locations of the second buffer, the locations being determined by third and fourth read addresses determined by swapping at least two of the bits of the first and second read indices respectively. A data-processing unit for producing a transform, a transform-computation unit and an electronic apparatus are also described.
