Abstract: A method for driving a vehicle in which a gearbox connected to a combustion engine can be set to various different transmission ratios including a low transmission ratio in which the engine speed is below that at which a torque plateau for the low ratio is reached. The vehicle may drive in a first mode or a second mode both at the low ratio, such that in the first mode, the vehicle is driven without fuel supply to the engine and in the second mode, the engine is provided with fuel supply in order to deliver motive force for propulsion of the vehicle. In the method one determines whether the vehicle should be driven according to the first mode or the second mode, based on a need for motive force.

Abstract: A method for driving a vehicle which has a gearbox connected to a combustion engine and the gearbox is capable of being set to a number of different transmission ratios in order to deliver motive force to a driveshaft for propulsion of the vehicle. The vehicle is arranged for driving in at least a first mode and a second mode, such that in the first mode the gearbox is switched to a low transmission ratio and in the second mode the combustion engine is disconnected from the at least one driveshaft. When the vehicle is being driven in a situation where there is or will within a specific time be a reduced need for motive force for the vehicle, the method determines whether the vehicle should be driven according to the first mode or the second mode, on the basis of an ambient parameter.

Abstract: A method for control of a vehicle's gearbox which is connected to a combustion engine and can be set to a number of different transmission ratios. When the vehicle is running in a low transmission ratio and at an engine speed below that at which the torque plateau for the low ratio is reached, in a situation where there is a reduced need for power output to propel the vehicle, determine a speed parameter for the vehicle, switch the gearbox to a higher transmission ratio than the low ratio when the speed parameter fulfils a first criterion.

Abstract: An exemplary antenna array includes at least two or more radiating elements coupled to a ground plane. The two or more radiating elements include a first radiating element separated from a second radiating element by at least one wall that extends away from the ground plane between the first and second radiating elements. The wall may be operable for reducing mutual coupling between the first and second radiating element.

Abstract: The quasi-twin lead line includes a dielectric substrate having a first side and an opposite side. A top conductor trace is integral with the first side of the dielectric substrate. The top conductor trace has a top conductor axis, a top conductor length, and a top conductor width, wherein the top conductor width is substantially uniform along the top conductor length. An opposite trace is integral with the opposite side of the dielectric substrate. The opposite trace has an opposite length and an opposite width substantially congruent to the top conductor length and the top conductor width. The opposite trace also has an opposite axis substantially parallel to the top conductor axis, wherein a plane containing both the top conductor axis and the opposite axis is oblique relative to the dielectric substrate.

Abstract: A vertical lift system is constructed for transporting a receptacle, such as a food or supply receptacle from one deck to another deck, particularly in an aircraft. For this purpose, a vertical lift (71) is equipped with a number of lifting hooks (10) each mechanically coupled to a respective locking pawl (11). Each receptacle is equipped with a respective number of latch elements (9) such as recesses (92) to be engaged by a respective hook (10). The latching and unlatching is caused by the cooperation of the hooks (10) and pawls (11) with each other, with a stationary activating member (12) engaging a cam track (113) of a pawl (11), with biasing forces and with the latch elements (9). Latching requires a small downward motion of the vertical lift. Unlatching requires a slight further downward motion of the vertical lift. During latching and unlatching the receptacle (3) is supported on a floor (13).

Abstract: A gateway (1) interfaces between application providers (APs, (4)) and at least one aggregate AP (3) which in turn is linked to multiple APs (4). The gateway (1) manages cascading of access control rights by the APs (4) to reflect links via aggregate APs (3). On the other side the gateway (1) is linked with mobile network enablers (10-15) for communication with users. The gateway (1) performs convergence by conditionally processing or rendering content with multiple content and/or bearer formats. Internally, the gateway (1) comprises a CORBA middleware mechanism (20), and multiple services (21-23) communicating with each other via the middleware mechanism.

Abstract: A plant for continuously sterilizing fluids, such as milk and cream comprises a sterilizing device (2) in which the fluid is sterilized while steam is fed thereto, and a vacuum chamber (1) for removal of the water from the fluid and from which the fluid is extracted by means of a pump (8). The vacuum chamber (1) is accommodated before the sterilizing device (2) when seen in the flow direction of the fluid, said vacuum chamber (1) being connection to said sterilizing device (2) through a first heat exchanger (11) for heating the fluid before it enters said sterilizing device (2).
