Abstract: The invention relates to a side-channel pump that allows a reduced wear. The side-channel pump has a housing which encloses a pump chamber (7). An impeller (3) is received so as to be rotatable inside the pump chamber (7). An inlet side channel (31) and an outlet side channel (33) are also formed inside the pump chamber (7). The impeller (7) has, in a blade region near the circumference thereof, a plurality of radially outward-extending blades (11). The inlet side channel (31) and the outlet side channel (33) run on opposite sides of the impeller (3) and both adjoin the impeller (3). The two side channels (31, 33) both extend in a partially annular shape along a flow path from an inlet channel to an outlet channel. The proposed side-channel pump is characterized in that the inlet side channel (31), averaged along the flow path, has a smaller cross-section than the outlet side channel (33). In this manner the impeller (3) can be maintained in a force equilibrium during operation.

Upon selection of the entry in the menu, the method further includes displaying to the user the corresponding window previously viewed by the user in the GUI. The corresponding window has a data-entry field that contains a latest version of information that is related to the interaction with the individual that was previously entered or modified by the user.

Abstract: A communication device having an antenna tuned by a tank network at its input port to realize dual-band resonance. The antenna alone has a wideband but weak resonance, while the device antenna circuit with the tank network has a narrowband resonance between the two desired frequencies when the antenna is open-circuited.

Abstract: A devices for pumping fuel has at least one suction jet pump and a drive line, supplying the suction jet pump with fuel, that branches off from a pressure line leading to an internal combustion engine and that can be blocked off by means of a shutoff valve. By means of a shutoff valve, it is possible to switch off the suction jet pumps. The pressure of the pressure line acts on the shutoff valve in such a way that the shutoff valve closes at a pressure that is greater than or equal to a predetermined closing pressure.
