Abstract: A housing has a integral coaxial cable connector including a holder for a coupling element. The coupling element has an insertion opening into which a connecting element, in which a coaxial cable is positioned, can be inserted in a direction which is essentially at right angles to the axial axis of the connecting element. The connecting element and the holder for the coupling element are shaped such that a connecting element which has been inserted into the holder touches one or more contact points in the holder in order to make a conductive contact. The coupling element has a clamping device by means of which the connecting element can be detachably firmly clamped in a clamping position in the holder. The clamping device on the insertion opening exerts pressure on the connecting element in the clamping position, and thus presses the connecting element against the one or more contact points.

Abstract: A reflector for a mobile radio antenna comprises at least two reflector modules which are or can be assembled. The reflector module is produced using a casting method, deep-drawing, thermoforming or stamping method, or using a milling method. Two integrally connected longitudinal face boundaries and at least one end transverse-face boundary may be provided. Two transverse-face boundaries whose ends are located offset with respect to one another can be provided. At least one transverse strut runs transversely with respect to the longitudinal face boundaries. A holding and/or attachment device is provided on the at least one end transverse-face boundary for attachment to a second reflector module, and can be used to fix the at least two reflector parts firmly to one another.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for connection of a coaxial cable (5) to a housing has the following features: a holder (3) for a coupling element (1) which can be connected to the housing has an insertion opening into which a connecting element (4), in which a coaxial cable is positioned, can be inserted in a direction which is essentially at right angles to the axial axis of the connecting element (4); the connecting element (4) and the holder (3) for the coupling element (1) are shaped such that a connecting element which has been inserted into the holder (3) touches one or more contact points (3d, 3d?) in the holder (3) in order to make a conductive contact; the coupling element (1) has a clamping device (6) by means of which the connecting element (4) can be detachably firmly clamped in a clamping position in the holder (3), with the clamping device (6) on the insertion opening exerting pressure on the connecting element (4) in the clamping position, and thus pressing the connecting element (4) against the on

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a session initiation protocol (SIP) infrastructure containing various user devices and the use of this infrastructure to conduct media exchange sessions among the various user devices. Included in the user devices are wearable devices, for example pendants and wrist watches, that provide readily available and accessible devices for use in controlling the media exchange sessions. SIP permits the separation of the control aspects of a session from the actual media exchange aspects to facilitate the use of wearable devices having limited processing resources as control devices. The actual media exchange is directed to user devices suitable for sending, receiving and displaying the exchanged media.

Abstract: A machine comprises an enclosure; a plurality of parts within the enclosure; and a visual conduit for providing a view inside of the enclosure for detection of visible signs of failure of the machine. The concept of a visual conduit encompasses a broad variety of devices including cameras inside the enclosure that provide images of the interior of the enclosure and alternatively selective transparency or translucence of the enclosure relative to at least some of the parts of the machine housed within the enclosure.

Abstract: A portable personal computing environment server comprises an interface for connecting to a host computer. The portable personal computing environment server also comprises a mass storage device storing a personal computing environment including one or more guest operating systems for restoring the personal computing environment in the host system.

Abstract: An improved reflector for a mobile radio antenna is produced using a casting method (e.g., a deep-drawing, thermoforming or stamping method, or using a milling method). The reflector's two longitudinal face boundaries, with at least one end-face transverse face boundary and at least one additional integrated functional part, is likewise produced using a casting, deep-drawing, thermoforming or stamping method, or using a milling method.

Abstract: An improved radio-frequency or network connection including a basic module having two or more basic signal coupling surfaces, and a network module having two or more network signal coupling surfaces. The basic module has a basic ground coupling surface, and the network module has a network ground coupling surface. In the operating state, the basic ground coupling surface is capacitively RF coupled to the network ground coupling surface, and is aligned parallel thereto.

Abstract: The invention provides methods, apparatus and systems that allow devices to enter and leave a local domain often and still allow consumers of the service provided by the device to easily detect its availability. To achieve this, an example embodiment locates a “service discovery proxy” in the local domain. On receiving a service discovery request from a remote inquirer, the proxy resolves the service request based on those services that are determined to be dynamically available in the local domain at that time. The proxy resolves the incoming service request within its local domain by using any method for local service discovery. The response to the service discovery received from the local devices is customized by the service discovery proxy, wherein the customization includes formatting, filtering, aggregating, and/or selecting particular responses. The proxy then sends the customized response back to the remote inquirer.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus to protect user privacy while accessing information in public places, using both public and personal devices. This is achieved by employing a mechanism that prevents private information from being displayed on public devices. Instead, this type of information is made available only to a user's personal device(s) that the user carries and/or trusts. An example embodiment of the invention shows relevant parts of the information content, referred to also as information documents or simply documents, to multiple devices based on privacy level and user preferences. Embodiments of the present invention also provide personalized services based on privacy levels defined by users. These users can for example be customers of a retail store. The service provided is sometimes also based on user history of accessing information documents. It permits personalized information to be sent to a customer's personal device.

Abstract: A remote-controlled slide projector is proposed in which for interrupting a slide presentation the projection lamp and the blower can be de-energized by a standby command of the remote control device. To continue the slide presentation, blower and projection lamp can be re-energized by another command via the remote control device. In the standby mode, the electronic control circuit of the projector is continued to be supplied with power.
