Abstract: A computer-implemented method of and a device, such as a base station for a headset, for arranging text items in a predefined order, comprising storing, in the memory of a peripheral device, a collection of multiple text items arranged in multiple sets of text items and in multiple groups of text items; storing a respective code item with a respective group of text items; and storing a sort key that has values that designate a predefined order of the text items in each set. The sort key is appended to the text items and comprises at least one character with a value within the Private Use range of the Unicode format.

Abstract: A method of controlling a communications channel, comprising: receiving a real time digital signal; processing the real time digital signal to provide a control signal; and controlling the base station in response to the control signal. Where the processing comprises in succeeding time slots determining whether predefined signal content is present in the real time digital signal, increasing or decreasing a first value when predefined signal content is present and, respectively, decreasing or increasing the first value when predefined signal content is not present, and changing the control signal when the first value reaches a first target value. The method also relates to controlling a base station for a headset, where the base station and headset communicates via a wireless connection and where the base station communicates with a PC via a wired interface e.g. a USB interface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for allocating access to a scarce resource. A load of each flow on the resource is calculated. The aggregate load is compared to a maximum steady state load. A drop policy is established responsive to the comparison. The drop policy is applied to the flows at an input interface of the device.

Abstract: In a device for biological fluid treatment, fluid is led along surfaces coated with microorganisms, which form parts of disks drivable about a rotation axis. The surfaces are formed by recesses lying in the disks and the disks are arranged to one another such that the leading of the fluid is effected through the recesses, and a recess of one disk is delimited in a channel-forming manner by the adjacent other disk movable relative to this.

Abstract: The device serves for the biological fluid treatment. Fluid is led along surfaces coated with microorganisms, which form parts of disks (19) drivable about their rotation axis, wherein the surfaces are formed by recesses lying in the disks (18, 19), and the disks (18, 19) are arranged to one another such that the leading of the fluid is effected through the recesses, and a recess of one disk (18) is delimited in a channel-forming manner by the adjacent other disk (19) movable relative to this.
