摘要： A method of controlling rotation of a water distribution plate supported on a shaft and adapted to rotate about an axis defined by the shaft by reason of impingement of a stream emitted from a nozzle on grooves formed in the plate, the method includes: (a) slowing the rotation of the water distribution plate intermittently so as to create intervals of relatively slow and relatively fast rotation and thereby correspondingly increase and decrease, respectively, a radius of throw of the stream or improve the uniformity of water distribution; and (b) continually changing circumferential locations of the intervals about the axis.

摘要： A mobile station includes an adjustable member for increasing a separation distance between an audio signal output device and an electronic circuit to reduce EMI proximate the audio signal output device caused by the electronic circuit. In one embodiment, the adjustable member comprises a slide member that extends at least a portion of the audio signal output device away from the electronic circuit to increase the separation distance. In another embodiment, the adjustable member comprises a pivot member that rotates the electronic circuit (or audio signal output device) away from the audio signal output device (or electronic circuit) to increase the separation distance. In any event, increasing the separation distance between the audio signal output device and the electronic circuit decreases the EMI proximate the audio signal output device, and therefore EMI effects on external circuits proximate the mobile station, such as a hearing aid.

摘要翻译： 移动台包括可调节构件，用于增加音频信号输出装置和电子电路之间的间隔距离，以减少由电子电路引起的音频信号输出装置附近的EMI。 在一个实施例中，可调节构件包括滑动构件，其将音频信号输出装置的至少一部分延伸远离电子电路以增加间隔距离。 在另一个实施例中，可调节构件包括使电子电路（或音频信号输出装置）远离音频信号输出装置（或电子电路）旋转以增加间隔距离的枢轴构件。 在任何情况下，增加音频信号输出装置和电子电路之间的间隔距离减小了靠近音频信号输出装置的EMI，并且因此EMI对靠近移动台的外部电路（例如助听器）产生影响。

摘要： A system for mounting an object such as a flat screen television on a surface such as a wall. A mounting template is fastened to the surface and defines multiple sets of openings corresponding to multiple mounting configurations. Wall brackets are removably secured within the openings and are then fastened to the surface. Object spacers are fastened to mounting locations on the object corresponding to the mounting configuration of the wall brackets, and are connected to the wall brackets to secure the object to the wall. A level may be secured within the mounting template. The mounting template may include fold lines to facilitate packaging and storage of the mounting template.
