Abstract: A method of processing the connecting surfaces between a marine engine frame and an associated bearing support, which parts wholly or partially surround a crankshaft is presented. The bearing support is removed to expose the connecting surface of the engine frame facing towards the bearing support. An auxiliary plane is established which is set-up/extended along the centerline of the crankshaft, and a second line at right-angles to the centerline. In situ processing of the connecting surface of the engine frame is effected at an angle which is a function of the position of the auxiliary plane. It is thus possible to process the connecting surface of the engine frame facing towards the bearing support without the necessity of having to remove the engine frame itself, and to carry out the processing of at least this free connecting surface, while the actual bearing support can be processed in the normal manner.

Abstract: An antenna for a mobile communication terminal in which part of an antenna rod is slidably mounted into an assist antenna rod such that the antenna may be selectively extended in one or two stages. A connecting portion between the antenna rod and the assist antenna rod is rolled so that the antenna rod is prevented from being easily escaped from the assist antenna rod when the antenna is extended in two-stage. Thus, an enhanced communication quality may be obtained by extending the antenna length even when the mobile communication device is slimmed and an optimized length of the antenna is not secured.
