Abstract: Wireless microphone systems are used, for example, in theater, stage performances, television, broadcast radio or in concerts to amplify voices or instruments for a large audience. Due to the plurality of actors or musicians, a corresponding number of audio channels is required to transmit the audio information. 20 to 50 audio channels can thus be required in a parallel mode even in common applications.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the use of certain flavor enhancing compounds obtainable from an Allium species. In one embodiment, seeds from chives, leeks, ramson and other onions are used for conveying strong kokumi flavor enhancing effects on food products without imparting an onion or garlic-like off taste. These flavor enhancing compounds are also useful for the preparation of Amadori products, which are also used as kokumi flavor enhancing compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for processing a workpiece in particular for pressing, holding and/or cutting a pipe, having a first pair of jaws which has a first upper jaw and a first lower jaw, having a first effective area formed between the front ends of the first jaws, having a first inlet contour formed between the rear ends of the first jaws and having a holding device which movably accommodates the first jaws independent of one another, wherein the first jaws can be pivoted between an open position and a closed position. The present invention is based on the technical problem of specifying a tool, by means of which in one process at least one first and one second effect can be assigned to the tool independently from one another in time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compression tool (2) for the permanent connection of workpieces (14, 16, 18, 30, 34) having two pivot elements (4), which each have a compression jaw (10), and having at least one rotational axis (6), on which the pivot elements (4) are hinged, wherein the inner contours of the opposing compression jaws (10) form a receiving area (12). The present invention is based on the technical problem of disclosing an alternative compression tool (2), with which a permanent connection can be provided between workpieces (14, 16, 18, 30, 34) by axial compression. The technical problem is solved in that the inner contours have at least one sliding face (22), which is inclined relative to the receiving area axis (20). A compression tool (2) can thus be provided which, starting from a radial inward movement, performs a compression in the axial direction, nonetheless requires little installation space, and offers weight advantages due to a smaller axial extension, for example.
