Abstract: A clamp includes a lock and a key. The lock defines a first longitudinal axis, and the key defines a second longitudinal axis. The lock has a clamping body portion, a pair of opposing snap lock arms, and an annular shaped receptacle. Each snap lock arm has a mounting end integrally joined to the clamping body portion. Each snap lock arm is flexible about its mounting end. The annular shaped receptacle is defined by the pair of opposing snap lock arms, being disposed between the pair of opposing snap lock arms adjacent to the mounting ends. The key includes a wedge body portion and a deformable elastic annular head portion. The annular head portion releasably retains the key in the lock. The annular head portion is sized to engageably cooperate with the annular shaped receptacle to provide the releasable retention.

Abstract: A method of sharing of network resources between at least two access gateways, each of the at least two access gateways providing network connectivity to user equipment, includes assessing whether a first access gateway can to share a portion of available network resources, assessing whether a second access gateway requires additional network resources to provide network connectivity to user equipment, and establishing a wireless connection between the first access gateway and the second access gateway. The first access gateway provides the portion of available network resource as additional network resources for the second access gateway.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method and system for recognizing coffee capsules used by a capsule coffee machine, wherein a vibration sensor is arranged within the capsule coffee machine to detect vibrations of a machine component (e.g. the pump, or the capsule holder, or the hydraulic circuit connecting the pump with the capsule holder) rigidly connected with the coffee capsule fitted in the machine during the brewing of a coffee beverage. As the brewing is started, the vibration sensor detects the vibrations to which the machine component (and all the other machine components rigidly connected thereto during the brewing, including the variable-mass coffee capsule) is subjected, and generates a vibration signal corresponding thereto. The vibration signal is then processed for determining at least one parameter thereof. The coffee capsule is then recognized based on the value of the determined parameter(s).
