Abstract: A method for allocating bandwidth to communication according to a first communication protocol, the method comprising identifying bandwidth that is allocated to a communication channel for communication according to a second communication protocol and which forms a guard band of the communication channel and allocating the identified bandwidth to communication according to the first communication protocol, said allocation being performed non-uniformly across the identified bandwidth such that an allocation of a first portion of the identified bandwidth, which is located closer to a communication according to the second communication protocol than a second portion of the identified bandwidth, is constrained to a greater extent than an allocation of the second portion of the identified bandwidth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the generation of mammalian cells capable of producing proteins at an industrial scale and means and methods to obtain and use said cells, in particular for protein production.

Abstract: A method for synchronising a receiving device with a transmitting device in a wireless communication network comprising forming a synchronisation sequence that has a frequency spectrum comprising peaks at multiple discrete fundamental frequencies, a signal power of the synchronisation sequence being concentrated at those frequencies, and transmitting said synchronisation sequence from the transmitting device to the receiving device.

Embodiments may include a carabiner coupled with the body of the knife and tools integrated into the blade or body.

Abstract: A communication device for communicating via a wireless network that is permitted to operate only in communication channels that are not designated for use by another network, the communication device being configured to determine that it is permitted to use a communication channel and use only a part of the bandwidth of that communication channel in dependence on an activity associated with a device operating outside of the wireless network.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a rinse hanger for rinsing a wetsuit thereon. The rinse hanger is differentiated by a hook and cap assembly configured to provide swivel function; longitudinal fillets for improved structural support and weight displacement; a male adapter extending along a longitudinal axis; the hanger body being symmetrical about the longitudinal axis; and other features as described herein. A user hangs a wetsuit on the hanger and places the hook end of the hanger on a structural support, a quick release connector and hose is then coupled to the hanger and water flow is communicated through holes in the hanger body to rinse the inside of the wetsuit. The quick release connector and hose are removed, and a spray nozzle is coupled to the quick connector and hose, the spray nozzle is used to rinse an outside of the wetsuit. The hanger is then hung for drying and storage.

Abstract: An electromagnet comprising a ferromagnetic yoke which comprises a yoke. Mutually opposing first and second pole pieces are provided. The first pole piece is provided with a planar coil having a first side facing the yoke and a second side facing the yoke. A balancing member is arranged on the second side of the planar coil to counterbalance the attractive force between the planar coil and the yoke. The other pole piece may also be provided with a corresponding balancing member.

Abstract: A high lift control system for an aircraft having at least one high lift surface includes a selector having a predetermined number of discrete positions, at least one of the predetermined positions corresponding to different positions of the at least one high lift surface.

Abstract: A method for estimating an unwanted component that a receiver introduces into a signal at a known frequency, the method comprising applying a frequency offset to a signal, which comprises a wanted component at the known frequency, to form an offset signal having a frequency spectrum in which the wanted component is not positioned at the known frequency, processing the offset signal in the receiver and estimating a component positioned at the known frequency in the frequency spectrum of the processed signal.

Abstract: A vaping liquid dispensing and vending apparatus comprises filling module(s), user container holder(s), positioning mechanism(s) and controller module(s). The filling module(s) comprise: machine container(s) configured to hold vaping liquid(s), nozzle(s) configured to dispense vaping liquid(s) to user container(s), and measuring pump module(s) configured to pump a measured amount of vaping liquid(s) from machine container(s) to nozzle(s). The user container holder(s) are configured to hold user container(s). Positioning mechanism(s) align user container holder(s) with filing module(s). Controller module(s) execute production instructions causing vaping liquid formulations to be dispensed into user container(s).

Abstract: The present invention relates to expression vectors for the heterologous expression of a nucleic acid sequence of interest in mammalian cells, the vectors comprising a chimeric promoter regulatory sequence being operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence to be expressed, wherein the chimeric promoter regulatory sequence comprises a cytomegalovirus promoter sequence derived from murine cytomegalovirus or from human cytomegalovirus and being operably linked to the transcriptional start site of the nucleic acid sequence to be expressed; and a cytomegalovirus upstream region and/or enhancer sequence derived from human and/or the simian cytomegalovirus, wherein the upstream region and/or enhancer sequence is located 5? of and operably linked to the murine or the human promoter sequence, and wherein the chimeric promoter regulatory sequence comprises sequence elements being derived from at least two of the group consisting of murine cytomegalovirus, human cytomegalovirus and simian cytomegalovirus.

Abstract: A survival knife with integrated moveable guard that may move from a first position that provides a guard for the blade to a second position that provides half of the handle portion of the knife. Embodiments may include a carabiner coupled with the body of the knife and tools integrated into the blade or body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stable and high-producing site-specific integration (SSI) host cells, e.g. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-derived host cells, methods to produce and to use them.

Abstract: A drum for a constricting drum brake assembly with at least one drum insert with a plurality of fins forming a cooling ring for transferring heat from the drum generated during the braking action.

Abstract: A frequency error embodied in a series of values is determined by processing each of two or more selected values with another value in the series, each other value being spaced from its respective selected value by a first spacing, to generate processed values that all comprise substantially the same phase component; combining the processed values to generate a combined value that comprises substantially the same phase component as the processed values; repeating the processing and combining with the same selected values but a second spacing, different from the first spacing, to generate a combined value comprising a different phase component from the combined value generated using the first spacing, reflecting the frequency error; and determining the frequency error in dependence on the combined values generated using the first and second spacings.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for buffing tread from a tire carcass, the method comprising the steps of: positioning a sensor at a first lateral location along a width of the tread; receiving a first signal from the sensor, the first signal generated as a function of a distance between the sensor and a belt in the tire and a tire characteristic; selecting a first signal response curve from a plurality of signal response curves based upon the first lateral location of the sensor, the selected signal response curve representing the function of the distance between the sensor and the tire belt and the tire characteristic; determining from the response curve the distance between the sensor and the belt for the signal response received; buffing tread from the tire until the distance between the sensor and the belt reaches a final distance. The steps are repeated at a second lateral location.
