Abstract: A dosing unit for use in an automatic dosing system of a water-bearing household appliance for automatically dosing detergent tablets, the dosing unit comprising a storage cartridge for storing a plurality of the detergent tablets and a dosing device for releasing a respective one of the detergent tablets, wherein the storage cartridge includes a tubular section for storing the plurality of detergent tablets ordered in a line one behind the other.

Abstract: A mobile communication system for general data transmission and a mobile phone employable in the mobile communication system. In one embodiment, the mobile phone includes a receiver and a transmitter for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals, a digital memory for storing digital data and a digital processor for processing the digital data. The digital memory stores downloaded data with executable software that is downloaded from an external data source. The downloaded data may include menu descriptions, sounds and animations for the mobile phone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system, method and computer program product for compressing and/or displaying digital data. The system includes a storage medium for storing a plurality of instruction sequences representing displayable characters, a display for displaying these characters, and a receiver for receiving at least a first code symbol being assigned to the first one of the instruction sequences. The first instruction sequence represents the first character displayable in a bitmap, wherein first instruction sequence defines a line pattern. Decomposing, storing and restoring a Chinese character, e.g., into a line pattern is advantageous as being memory saving and fast. The invention is particularly applicable for mobile phones having restricted memory space.

Said system comprising a storage medium for storing a plurality of instruction sequences representing displayable characters, a display for displaying said characters, a receiver for receiving at least a first code symbol being assigned to a first one of said characters and reading means for reading out at least a first one of said instruction sequences. Said first instruction sequence represents said first character displayable in a bitmap, wherein said first instruction sequence defines a line pattern.
