Abstract: A connection device for setting up an arrangement of a plurality of loudspeaker boxes that are suspended beneath one another comprises a first assembly rail which is provided for assembly on a first loudspeaker box and to which a latching part is attached, and a second assembly rail which is provided for assembly on a second loudspeaker box and to which a retaining element that interacts with the latching part is attached. Herein, a free path length of a longitudinal displaceability of the latching part in relation to the first assembly rail is preselectable. Furthermore, the position of the retaining element in relation to the second assembly rail is preselectable.

Abstract: A container for transporting and handling materials such as ice has a side wall having a top, a middle and a bottom. The side wall forms a containing portion. The top has an opening to the containing portion. The side wall has a recess adjacent to the bottom. The container has a bottom wall. The containing portion extends from the bottom wall to the opening. The container has a top handle adjacent to the top of the side wall. The container has a recess handle that extends from the bottom of the side wall to the middle of the side wall adjacent to the recess.

Abstract: In a method of controlling an internal combustion engine wherein an injection begin is calculated depending at least on an actual engine speed and the injection begin is corrected, the injection begin correction is calculated from a deviation of a desired air mass flow from an actual air mass flow.

Abstract: In a method for a torque-based control of an internal combustion engine wherein from an input value representing a desired engine power output a desired torque value is calculated, then the desired torque value is converted using a performance graph while taking another value into consideration to a first power output determining signal, which is then corrected by way of a relative efficiency and a power determining signal for controlling the drive torque is determined. The additional value corresponds to a relative friction moment, which is calculated from an actual deviation of the state of the engine from a standard state in which the relative friction moment is zero.

Abstract: A method for the torque-oriented control of an internal combustion engine in which a set torque is computed from an input variable that represents the desired power, and the set torque is limited to an air mass-dependent maximum torque.

Abstract: A squeeze bottle is provided for dispensing a flowable liquid material. The bottle includes an axially extending squeezable container having a side wall and a base at one end of the side wall to define an interior chamber for housing the flowable liquid material. The container defines a neck that extends axially outwardly from an axially outer end of the container opposite the base. A cap is removably attachable to the neck, and includes a plate having at least one opening therethrough and in communication with the interior void of the container. The cap further includes at least two tips defining respective outlet channels in fluid communication with the plate opening to outlet at least two directed streams from the squeeze bottle to a desired food product.

Abstract: An improved vehicle antenna device that reduces the cost and complexity of the antenna and its installation procedure. An antenna is mounted within the fender of a vehicle, while the antenna amplifier is mounted on the opposite side of a structural wall. The electrical connection between the antenna and its amplifier passes through a vehicle wall through a water-tight bushing. The bushing is made an integral part of the amplifier housing so that attachment of the housing to the vehicle wall causes the bushing to simultaneously penetrate an opening in the wall and seal that opening. The antenna is then plugged into an electrical connector in the bushing which is already in electrical contact with the amplifier, thus completing the installation. The water-tight seal can be improved by coating the bushing with an elastic material, by giving the bushing a slight tapered shape, or both.
