Abstract: A trencher has two wheels equidistant on either side of the arbor, and a third steerable wheel at the front of the trencher in line with the arbor. Speed of the arbor, forward motion of the trencher and the direction of motion are determined by motors controlled by an onboard control system. The onboard control system is controlled by a remote control, which may be a simple manual wireless controller or a programmable computer. With a programmable computer, the trencher can be pre-programmed to dig along a pre-selected path, e.g., a logo, flower or other design.

Abstract: The available battery power on autonomously powered mobile electronic devices, in particular smartcards, is very small but requires a very long shelf life. Thus, even very small rest currents are a big power issue. The invention discloses a power save circuit and method, where a single power switch, e.g. a FET or a MEM switch, can be used to detach the power supply (?) from the whole system and allow the lowest current possible. Further, a combination with a double action button and integration of the power switch provides a solution with a minimum number of components and interconnects. An option for “system wake-up at any button” enables additional power saving during use, without inconvenience to the user.

Abstract: A bistable display device comprises a first substrate (22) carrying, on one side, a plurality of electrode segments (28, 30) and supply lines (26) connecting to the segments. The electrode segments comprise a first set of electrode segments (30) which define the display regions for providing information to the user, and a second set of electrode segments (28) which defines a background display region. Each supply line (26) is sandwiched laterally between electrode segments such that the visual display output in the region of the supply line is substantially the same as that in the region of the electrode segments which sandwich the supply line. The electrode segments which sandwich the supply lines dominate the electric field distribution in the display medium layer so that visibility of the supply lines is reduced, even though they are formed on the same substrate surface as the electrode segments.

Abstract: The invention describes an apparatus, system and related method that allow a guest user to create a private personal virtual channel. The apparatus includes a user interface (8) whereby an authorized apparatus user can make an invitation to a guest user. The authorized apparatus user can also set expiry conditions (19). The apparatus can exchange guest user specific data (2, 3, 4) via user interface (8), via a data carrier (18), or via a network (17) with an equivalent apparatus in the system. The private user specific data (2, 3, 4) is concealed using a concealment unit (14). A control unit (13) works in combination with a processing unit (11) and the concealment unit (14) to conceal recorded content based upon guest user preferences and presents the concealed recorded content to the guest user alone as a continuous sequence of content via display (15) emulating a traditional broadcasted channel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fungal host cells that are transformed with a nucleic acid construct encoding a fungal oxygen-binding proteins or fragments thereof that comprise the oxygen-binding domain. Upon transformation of the host cell with the construct, the oxygen-binding protein confers to the host cell improved fermentation characteristics as compared to untransformed host cells. These characteristics include e.g. increases in oxygen uptake rates, biomass densities, volumetric productivities and/or product yields. The invention further relates to fermentation processes in which the host cells are used and to fungal oxygen binding proteins, in particular fungal flavohemoglobins and hemoglobin domains, and to nucleotides sequences encoding these proteins.
