Abstract: In radio networks having a plurality of access points, for example WiFi, a wireless audio end device like for example a microphone or headphones is connected to an access point, to which it sends its audio data or from which it receives same. Audio transmission should occur as far as possible in interruption-free manner and with low latency. If the audio end device is moved the connection quality in relation to the previous access point can decrease and require scanning or roaming. In that respect first another base station is sought and then the radio connection is redirected there. In order in that case to avoid disruptive signal interruptions portions of the audio signal which can be particularly well predicted are detected or predicted by means of short-term statistical methods, like for example speech pauses. Scanning and roaming are then carried out during the predicted portions, whereby interruptions which are perceptible to a user are avoided.

Abstract: A power transmission coil includes a plane coil including a no-wire portion and a coil wound about a no-wire portion, a cover for covering the plane coil from above, a first foreign-matter-detecting unit provided at the no-wire portion, and a power control circuit electrically connected to the plane coil and the first foreign-matter-detecting unit. An upper surface of the cover has a first inclining portion inclining toward the first foreign-matter-detecting unit. The power control circuit transmits power through the plane coil if a foreign matter is not detected in the no-wire portion based on an output from the first foreign-matter-detecting unit. The power control circuit is configured to stop transmitting power through the plane coil if foreign matter is detected in the no-wire portion based on an output from the first foreign-matter-detecting unit. This power transmission coil is capable of detecting a small foreign matter that may generate heat.

Abstract: A suspension strut for a vehicle has an air spring unit and a damper unit. The damper unit has a damper tube, which extends into a rolling tube of the air spring unit. The damper tube has supporting geometries distributed over its circumference, against which supporting geometries a radially expanded end of the rolling tube is supported. In order to support the rolling tube on the supporting geometries of the damper tube, a torsion element is provided. The torsion element is arranged between the radially expanded end of the rolling tube and the supporting geometries of the damper tube. The torsion element forms a form fit with the supporting geometries for the purpose of torque transmission.
