Abstract: A tube arrangement for the transport of temperature control medium, comprising a base body (2) made of polymeric material and produced by means of blow molding, wherein at least one functional element (3) is arranged in the base body (2), which element is in operative connection with the temperature control medium.

Abstract: A method is provided for remote controlling of mouse cursor functions of a computer device is disclosed. The method includes: tracking movement of a handheld pointing device in a three dimensional monitoring space based on a directional carrier sent by the handheld pointing device; modulating the directional carrier with a pulse pattern based on a corresponding manual operation action at the handheld pointing device; converting the tracked movement of the handheld pointing device in corresponding movement information; converting the movement information of the handheld pointing device in valid desktop coordinates for the computer device and moving a mouse cursor to these coordinates; demodulating the directional carrier and evaluating the pulse pattern in order to determine a corresponding manual operating action at the handheld pointing device; and taking corresponding action if a defined manual operating action at the handheld pointing device is determined.

Abstract: Systems and methods (“utility”) are provided for reducing the no-load (standby) power of power devices such as chargers for electronic devices and power converters for electronic devices. The utility may include a controllable switch that is operative to decouple circuitry of the power device from a power source under certain no-load conditions. In one embodiment, the utility provides a switch control module that is operative to sense when an electronic device is coupled to the power device, and in response, to control the switch to couple the power device to the power source. The switch control module may also be operative to detect a condition when the electronic device is no longer drawing power from the power device, and in response, to control the switch to decouple the power device from the power source.
