Abstract: A device is provided for injection of a liquid agent, such as fuel or reducing agent, into the exhaust line from a combustion engine. The device (1) has a nozzle arrangement (20) having a nozzle head (21), from which the liquid agent is injectable into the exhaust line. The nozzle arrangement (20) has a first conduit (22) leading to the nozzle head (21) for supply of compressed gas, preferably in the form of compressed air, to the nozzle head, and a second conduit (23) leading to the nozzle head (21) for supply of the liquid agent to the nozzle head. The nozzle head (21) is provided with at least one outlet opening (24) connected to the first conduit (22) and to the second conduit (23), through which outlet opening the liquid agent is injectable into the exhaust line under atomization thereof after mixing with compressed gas in a mixing zone (25) inside the nozzle head.

Abstract: Devices and methods to use base stations to communicate with user equipment (UE) terminals in an indoor setting are disclosed. For example, user equipments such as mobile telephone devices may be used in a building with multiple floors. The building may be supplied with antenna elements organized into antenna groups with each group serving an area of the building—a floor for example. The base station, utilizing the antenna groups, communicates with the UE terminals via one or more radio resources. The base station manages radio resources to communicate with multiple UE terminals. The base station selectively activates and deactivates the antenna groups to reduce multiple access interference and to efficiently utilize the radio resources.

Abstract: The present invention relates to radio systems and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for receiving radio signals with the aid of beams generated by antenna assemblies. For each of the beams in a first of the antenna assemblies there is a beam in the second of the antenna assemblies that covers the same space area. Signals received by the second are delayed relative to signals received by the first of the antenna assemblies. Then signals from the first antenna assembly are combined with signals from the second of the antenna assemblies. The combined signals derive from beams covering the same space area. Each combined signal is then radio received in a joint radio receiver. A DOA-estimation can be calculated on the basis of radio received signals derived from all beams.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the problems associated with sectorization of cells in cellular communications systems, and more particularly to interference between sectors. The invention provides the possibility of flexibly distributing hardware between sectors in a cell by allowing one transmitter to be shared by all the sectors. Since a beacon signal must be transmitted to each sector in a cell, it can be combined with the signal from the transmitter before being transmitted from an antenna. Thus it is necessary to only deploy one carrier for the beacon. Interference reduction in sectored sites is also improved. In addition, different antenna patterns may be combined to provide the site with all kinds of coverage patterns. Downlink diversity is furthermore attainable by having overlapping uncorrelated antenna patterns.

Abstract: The invention relates to a catalyst for cleaning the exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, especially diesel engines, comprising a monolithic body having longitudinally extending, open throughchannels coated with a surface-enlarging washcoat layer which contains one or more catalytically active precious metals. In order to reduce the tendency of the catalyst to oxidize and absorb (be enriched with) sulphur dioxide, the washcoat layer of the catalyst is based on silicon carbide and is substantially free from aluminum oxide. A method for preparing the catalyst, the use of the catalyst, as well as an exhaust gas cleaning system and a motor vehicle equipped with the catalyst, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and a system for calibrating the reception and transmission of an antenna array for use in a cellular communication system is disclosed. The calibration of the reception of the antenna array is performed by injecting a single calibration signal into each of a number of receiving antenna sections, in parallel. The signals are collected after having passed receiving components that might have distorted the phase and amplitude. Correction factors are generated and applied to received signals. The calibration of the transmission of the antenna array is preformed in a similar way. A single calibration signal is generated and injected into each of a number of transmitting antenna sections, one at a time. The signals are collected, one at a time, after having passed transmitting components that might have distorted the phase and amplitude. Correction factors are generated and applied to signals that are to be transmitted.

Abstract: To improve null depths in an antenna pattern of a first polarization, formed with nulls in at least one angular region, a further antenna pattern of a second polarization, substantially orthogonal to the first polarization, is concurrently formed. In the angular region, the amplitudes of the copolar components of the further antenna pattern are substantially equal to the amplitudes of the crosspolar components of the antenna pattern of the first polarization, and the phases of the copolar components of the further antenna pattern of the second polarization are substantially opposite to the phases of the crosspolar component of the first polarization.

Abstract: A method, and associated apparatus, for determining cell relationships in a radio communication system, such as a cellular communication system. The cell relationships describe how communications in a cell are disturbed by communications in other cells. The cell relationships are used, for example, in frequency planning procedures and procedures by which to determine neighbor cell lists.

Abstract: According to the invention, a web of material presenting periodic string parts is provided with garnishing material by forming loops of garnishing material around the net yarn, and subsequently fastening the loops together by applying high frequency energy. This is effected in an automatic machine in which string parts together with accompanying garnishing are inserted into apertures formed on a drum by means of electrodes which are mutually separated during the process of insertion and which are then clamped together and supplied with high frequency energy, whereafter the electrodes are again separated to release the string material and garnishing.

Abstract: A liquid dosing apparatus comprises a tank (8) to be repeatedly filled with liquid to an upper level; a float (24) adapted to rise in the tank concurrently with the filling thereof and, each time the upper level has been reached, to be wholly or partly filled with liquid so as to sink in the tank, thus actuating a draining siphon (15) which drains the tank to a lower level; and a float siphon (27) draining the float (24) so that this will float again when the liquid level rises after the tank has been drained. The actuating of the draining siphon (15) by the float (24) is achieved by the provision of a chamber (13) which communicates with the tank (8) so as to be filled with liquid when the tank (8) is being filled, an inlet (20) of the draining siphon (15) being connected to the chamber (13). The sinking movement of the float (24) reduces the amount of liquid in the chamber (13), the liquid being pressed into the inlet (20) of the draining siphon for actuating the latter.

Abstract: A device for a suspended ceiling structure (1) for rectangular filter elements (2, 3). Some filter elements are located at a distance from each other to allow the suspension of light fittings from the suspended ceiling structure. An air stream is forced to flow out from the filter elements in the direction downwards towards the floor and vanes (8, 9) are then arranged substantially at the same level as and adjacent to at least one of those lateral surfaces of the fitting, which face the filter elements. The vanes are arranged at an angle to the air stream in such a way that the air is deflected and is made to flow towards a region (10) immediately below the light fitting.
