Abstract: A suction device for a releasable connection to a hand-held power tool, in particular to a hammer drill, includes a housing with a drive unit arranged in the housing for generating a suction flow, and at least one locking unit for a mechanical coupling with the hand-held power tool. The coupling includes at least one locking element for direct locking with the hand-held power tool and at least one actuating element used to release the lock of the at least one locking element. The actuating element and/or the locking element are arranged at least partially adjacent the drive unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for frequency-selective occupancy detection of a channel in a frequency band includes a detector for detecting a receive spectrum in the frequency band, a provider for providing node frequencies, a determiner for determining node level values, a determiner for determining the threshold curve and a comparer. The provider provides the node frequencies for a threshold curve with respect to a noise floor in the frequency band. The determiner determines the node level values at the node frequencies based on receive level values of the receive spectrum. The determiner determines the threshold curve in the frequency band based on the provided node frequencies and the node level values at the node frequencies. The comparer compares a current power of the receive level values in the channel with a reference power in the channel predetermined by the threshold curve to detect occupancy or non-occupancy of the channel depending on the comparison.
