Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment assembly for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a housing having a circumferential wall and at least one base wall which in an external circumferential region is connected to the circumferential wall. In a housing interior space, which is defined by the circumferential wall and the base wall, at least one exhaust gas treatment unit is positioned so as to be removable from the housing. At least one base wall is an interchangeable base wall which is releasably connected to the circumferential wall via a connection assembly. The connection assembly includes a first connection portion, a first axial support portion, and on the base wall includes a second connection portion which via at least one connection member is releasably connected to the first connection portion and a second axial support portion is supported on the first axial support portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and devices for managing health conditions associated with posture. The devices can be configured to monitor patient body angles and alert caregivers when measurements are outside a recommended range for the health condition. The methods and devices can facilitate patient compliance and assist caregivers in adhering to action plans.

Abstract: A ball comprises a core and a surface that covers the core. The surface includes at least one groove having a depth, a length and a width, wherein the length of the groove is at least three times the width, and wherein the length of the groove extends at most fifty degrees across the surface of the ball. When the ball travels through the air, the groove trips and obstructs the flow of air across the ball's surface, increasing the air's drag on the ball. This increase in drag causes the ball to not travel as far as a regular ball when well hit, and opposes any spin imparted to the ball when hit. In addition, the surface of the ball generates a sound that mimics a whistle while air flows across the surface to warn others of the ball's flight.

Abstract: The invention relates to a network subscriber station and to a method for operating a network subscriber station for a network of distributed stations, particularly a network of IEEE 1394 network subscriber stations, which are connected by means of a data bus. The network subscriber station comprises at least three memory areas for operation-dependent interface configuration data and pointer means, which comprise electronic pointers to the at least three memory areas, and driver means for handling electronic data in the at least three memory areas and for electronic data transfer between the at least three memory areas.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing a sequence of data packets in a receiver apparatus, in particular a sequence of audio and/or video data packets, as well as to a receiver apparatus.

Abstract: In order to request station-specific information in a network of distributed stations, it is proposed that a block read access operation (30) first be used to request the desired information. Should the requested network station react with an error code, the corresponding network subscriber station is not immediately removed from the “node information” table for the network. Instead, the station-specific information is then rerequested, but this time using word access operations (34). This measure allows network subscriber stations to be integrated into the “node information” table which support only word read access operations, but return unclear error codes, which are not fully compliant with the standard, in the event of block read access operations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for acquiring electronic information about transmission speeds between nodes of an acyclical network, in particular of an IEEE 1394 bus network, precisely one transmission link being present between in each case two of the nodes of the network, and a respective PHY transmission speed of the transmission link being determined by a minimum value of PHY speeds of the nodes of the network lying on the transmission link, in the case of the method the respective PHY transmission speed being determined for one subset of the transmission links in the network by acquiring the PHY speeds of the nodes lying on the transmission links and electronically acquiring minimum values of the PHY speeds; and the respective PHY transmission speed being electronically acquired for another subset of the transmission links, which is different from the one subset of transmission links, on the basis of one of the PHY speeds which have been determined for the nodes lying on the transmission

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for setting consistent values for a parameter in a network of distributed stations (10 to 14), and to a corresponding network subscriber station.
