Abstract: A propulsor arrangement for operation in icy as well as open water, for a marine vessel having a hull (S) with a center line (CL) extending between a forward end (3) and an aft end (4), said propulsor arrangement comprising a plurality of azimuthing thrusters (1A-ID) having a center of rotation (CR) and a longest lateral distance (R) that it protrudes from said center of rotation (CR), preferably having at least one azimuthing thruster (1A-ID) with a propeller (2) arranged to act in ice, wherein said propulsor arrangement includes at least three azimuthing thrusters (1A, 1B, 1G) positioned close to one end (3, 4) of said hull (S), including at least one pair (1A, 1B) positioned substantially symmetrical in relation to said center line (CL) along a transversal line in relation to said center line (CL) a first distance (Q1) apart a and at least one azimuthing thruster (1G) positioned closer to said end (3, 4) and said centerline (CL) and positioned a longitudinal distance (P1) away from said transversal line.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for remotely indicating that a fax has been received. Received faxes are detected using an infrared emitter that sprays infrared energy into space that is open when no paper is present in the paper tray that receives incoming faxes at a fax machine, but which space is occupied by paper when a fax has been received. When there is no paper present in the paper tray, the infrared energy is lost in space. When there is paper present in the paper tray, the infrared energy is reflected back to and sensed by a photo transistor. When the photo transistor senses the presence of paper in the paper tray, a high-brightness light emitting diode is flashed to indicate that a fax has been received.
