Abstract: A sealing unit about an elongated element, particularly a cable of an electric connector, and presenting first and second elastically deformable sealing elements facing each other, in use, on either side of the elongated element, and each having complementary first and second portions. The sealing elements are pressed against each other so that the first and second portions cooperate in sealing manner with each other, at least one of the first and second portions being deformed by the other portion to cooperate in sealing manner with the elongated element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for measuring distances through the atmosphere against a target through propagation time measuring. Measuring light signals are transmitted towards a target and light pulses reflected by the target are received. The distance measuring includes a coarse measuring procedure and a fine measuring procedure. During the coarse measuring procedure at least one time point is fixed after which the measuring signal from the target can be expected to appear. During the fine measuring procedure a number of measurements are performed. The signal information collection during the fine measuring procedure takes place in a matching time space after the time point fixed during the coarse measuring. Preferably, the measuring during the coarse measuring procedure takes place with one or a few measuring pulses and measuring during the fine measuring procedure with a number of measuring light pulses.

Abstract: A component made from a material of metal matrix composite, a so-called MMC material, is manufactured by High Speed Machining, so-called HSM machining, of a workpiece or blank of MMC material to provide a predetermined shape. HSM machining is characterized in that the cutting tool operates at a very high speed in relation to the machined work piece, especially as compared to what is normally the case when using conventional machining techniques.
