Abstract: Techniques for automatically sending an emergency signal by means of a system of a vehicle are provided. According to one technique, an emergency situation is detected by evaluating signals of a number of sensors. A current position of the vehicle then determined, and a plurality of entries of emergency response services are received. A minimum cost is determined from the costs associated with respective entries of the plurality of entries to the current position of the vehicle, and a first-priority entry is determined from the minimum cost. An address for sending the emergency call signal is received, where the address is included in the first-priority entry. The retrieved address is used to start a setup of a connection to a device of the emergency response service.

Abstract: A torch includes a tank adapted to contain a fuel, a firebowl atop the tank defining a fill opening, and an operating device that fits over the firebowl as a snuffer. A closing device may be fitted into the fill opening. The closing device may be movable between a lowered closed position and a raised open position. The closing device defines at least one recess for receiving a portion of an operating device that moves the closing device between the open and closed positions.

Abstract: A torch has a fuel container with a reservoir and a top cover. The top cover defines a first wick passage, a first fill hole, and a guide slot. A fire bowl is positioned atop the fuel container and defines a second wick passage, a second fill hole, and a guide member. At least one open rotational position is allowed between the fuel container and fire bowl such that the first and second fill holes are aligned to allow fluid into the reservoir via the fill holes. At least one closed rotational position is allowed between the fuel container and the fire bowl such that the first and second fill holes are out of alignment substantially blocking fluid flow into or out of the reservoir via the fill holes.

Abstract: A device has a canister for attaching to a fuel container with a wick holder passing through the canister for holding a wick in a position to draw fuel from the reservoir for combustion proximate the top cap. A snuffer in the canister has a sleeve extendible from a first retracted position to a second extended position, the second extended position extending the sleeve partially beyond the wick holder. When the canister is upright the snuffer remains in the first lowered position and when the canister is tilted beyond a predetermined angle the spring moves the sleeve to the second extended position.

Abstract: A device includes a flame bowl with a snuffer sleeve situated therein. The snuffer sleeve has a lowered position allowing a wick to burn freely and a raised position wherein the sleeve impedes oxygen flow to the wick, the snuffer sleeve being biased toward the raised position. A shelf extends from the snuffer sleeve to receive a movable weight that rests on the shelf when the flame bowl is upright and the snuffer sleeve is moved to the lowered position. The movable weight retains the snuffer sleeve in the lowered position while the flame bowl remains upright but moves to allow the snuffer sleeve to extend to the raised position when the flame bowl departs from the upright position more than a predetermined amount.

Abstract: This invention relates to tubing and a method for heat exchange between a first fluid which is in the tubing and a second tubing which is outside of the tubing. The tubing extends between a first end portion and a second end portion. The tubing includes an inner tube and an outer tube which is arranged on the outside of the inner tube. The inner tube being connected to the outer tube in a fluid-tight manner at the first end portion. The first end portion being surrounded by and attached to a fluid-supply pipe and there being in the second end portion, a passage between the inner tube and the outer tube.

Abstract: Prediction methods and systems including a central processing unit including a data acquisition unit configured to acquire experimental data of a parameter characterizing the time-dependent phenomenon, a data acquisition unit configured to acquire digital data of the parameter characterizing the phenomenon, and a data processing unit configured to combine the experimental data and the digital data, by using a proper orthogonal decomposition POD that makes it possible to obtain an effective prediction of the time-dependent phenomenon, combining the advantages of the experimental data (accuracy) and those of the digital data (spatial resolution).

Abstract: A navigation system (NS) can determine a junction between a current position of a user and a maneuver point of a route. Additionally, the NS can determine, change, and output an explicit notification not to turn at the junction.

Abstract: A navigation system of a vehicle includes a first display arranged behind a first mirror surface of a right outside mirror of the vehicle, a second display arranged behind a second mirror surface of a left outside mirror of the vehicle, and a control unit connected to the first display and the second display to control an output of graphic information on the first display and the second display. The control unit is configured to determine a current maneuver instruction based on a route and a current position of the vehicle, and the control unit is configured to control the output of different graphic information on the first display and the second display, based on the current maneuver instruction and/or the current position.

Abstract: Wireless base station device for handling wireless communication, e.g. DECT, between a plurality of associated wireless terminals and an IP network. The base station device has a radio transceiver, a network interface, and a processor with communication application and a communication session management software. The communication session management is arranged to control a communication session with an associated wireless terminal (upper layer management), while wireless communication with said associated wireless terminal involved with said communication session (lower layer) is handled by another base station device. Thus, the base station can manage separate operation of its upper and lower layer, thereby enabling e.g. hand-over of a session to and from other base stations. This allows self contained single casing base station devices to operate in a network without the need for at central server, and still such network is easy to extend by adding base stations.

Abstract: A torch includes a tank adapted to contain a fuel, a firebowl atop the tank defining a fill opening, and an operating device that fits over the firebowl as a snuffer. A closing device may be fitted into the fill opening. The closing device may be movable between a lowered closed position and a raised open position. The closing device defines at least one recess for receiving a portion of an operating device that moves the closing device between the open and closed positions.
