The apparatus includes a mixing unit for creating a mixture of the diluent and the additive, a diluent supply supplying the diluent to the mixing unit, an additive supply supplying the additive to the mixing unit, an outlet for dispensing the mixture. The diluent supply includes a pump arranged to increase the pressure of the diluent before the diluent enters the mixing unit.

Abstract: An advertiser specifies a conversion-based bid for a conversion event associated with an ad. If a conversion event occurs for the ad, an effective conversion-based bid can be adjusted by a risk premium associated with the ad. An account associated with the advertiser can be debited based upon the adjusted effective conversion-based bid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for analyzing a dive, comprising at least one first arithmetic unit which is intended to be carried by a scuba diver during a dive. The first arithmetic unit is connected to at least one sensor that detects dive-specific parameters. The second arithmetic device comprises a memory device in which dive-specific data can be stored, the first and the second arithmetic unit comprising respective data communication devices. The arithmetic units communicate temporarily with each other to transfer dive-specific data from the first to the second arithmetic unit.

Abstract: Display device for displaying information during a dive on a dive computer. The dive computer comprises a screen, measuring devices that detect variables related to the dive, a memory device to store data and program steps, and a computing device that processes the measurements made by the measuring device and derives data therefrom. A plurality of masks are stored in the dive computer to arrange dive data on the screen. The computing device determines characteristics from the dive data to select the mask characterizing the dive situation.

Abstract: Dive computer with at least one measuring device for detecting measured variables, at least one memory device, at least one computing device, at least one data transmitter, and one display device for displaying information. The memory device has at least one first area and at least one second area in which data are stored that are allocated to at least one first or at least one second user. There is also a selector for selecting the user to whom the data currently detected by the measuring device are allocated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a case for a dive computer that is worn by a scuba diver during dives. Said dive computer comprises a display device for displaying dive-related data that are visible from outside the case, actuation devices of the dive computer that can be actuated from outside the case and fastening devices for fastening the dive computer on the scuba diver or on his/her equipment. The case interior of the dive computer is configured in such a manner that the forces acting upon the dive computer due to the water pressure are compensated to at least some degree.

Abstract: Selective dynamic compilation of source code is performed using run-time information. A system is disclosed that implements a declarative, annotation based dynamic compilation of the source code, employing a partial evaluation, binding-time analysis (BTA), and including program-point-specific polyvariant division and specialization and dynamic versions of traditional global and peephole optimizations. The system allows programmers to declaratively specify policies that govern the aggressiveness of specialization and caching, providing fine control over the dynamic compilation process. The policies include directions for controlling specialization at promotion points and merge points, and further define caching policies, and speculative-specialization policies. The system also enables programmers to specialize programs across arbitrary edges, both at traditional locations, such as procedure boundaries, but also within procedures.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the air pressure of pneumatic tires of vehicles having a pressure measuring system arranged on the vehicle wheel, the measured values of which are transmitted by means of a transmitter to a receiver, whereby each vehicle wheel is preferably associated with a receiver. The transmitters have a transmitting antenna which is fixed in relation to the wheel and is not integrated into the transmitter. The transmitter is preferably an antenna with several windings which are vulcanized in the side flanks or into the tread of the tire.

Abstract: Device for and method of dive monitoring, wherein the pressure in a diving flask of a breathing equipment and the ambient pressure which the diver is exposed to at the respective water depth are detected. A decompression computing means is used to determine the respective decompression stops which the diver has to observe in surfacing, and how much time surfacing will require altogether. A performance index is derived from the variation of the pressure versus time in the diving flask, which index is a measure of the physical work performed by the diver. This performance index is supplied to the decompression computing means and is considered in the calculation of the total surfacing period.

Abstract: A monitoring device for portable breathing apparatuses having a manometer by means of which the pressure in the pressure container of the breathing apparatus is detected, and having a transmitter by means of which a signal corresponding to the pressure is transmitted at regular intervals. The transmitter also has a signal generating device which generates an identification signal which is characteristic of the transmitter. The pressure signal and identification signal are received and tested by a receiver. If the identification signal matches an identification comparison signal stored in the receiving device, the measured pressure value is displayed on a display device.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the air pressure in pneumatic tires comprises a transmitting device fitted to each wheel of a vehicle and rotating with it, and a receiver which is built into the vehicle or accommodated in a separate housing. The transmitting device mounted in the wheel comprises a pressure gauge for measuring the tire pressure, a transmitter and a signal generator which generates an identification signal unique to each transmitter and transmitted before or after the pressure signal. The receiver processes received signals only when the identification signal received matches a reference identification signal stored in the receiver. This facilitates reliable operation of the monitoring device and prevents false alarms.
