Abstract: The invention relates to a rod section of a ground drilling rod, wherein the rod section is configured at the end to form a plug connection and has (a) a male connector or (b) a female connector at at least one end, wherein the male connector has at least one circular portion and at least one more straight-line-like portion in cross section on the outside, or the female connector has at least one circular portion and at least one more straight-line-like portion in cross section on the inside.

Abstract: A system, method, and wireless earpieces for managing power settings. Sensor measurements are performed utilizing a first sensor array of the wireless earpieces to detect light and motion. Sensor measurements are performed utilizing a second sensor array of the wireless earpieces to detect light and motion. The sensor measurements are analyzed from the first sensor array and the second sensor array. A determination is made whether a change event is detected in response to the sensor measurements. The change event is confirmed as detected. The wireless earpieces enter a full power mode in response to the change event being confirmed.

Abstract: A box sleeper (1), characterized by a steel box-like sleeper section member (5) which has a cross-sectional width (15) and a cross-sectional height (16) matching that of a normal concrete or wooden sleeper and has an open part (31) on top and is closable at its ends by transverse plates (17 and 18) and has laterally projecting bearing flanges (13 and 14) for stockrail fasteners (28, 29), points-tongue slide chairs (30) and/or operating components of tip fasteners. The box-like sleeper section member (5) is associated with tip fasteners in the form of "latch fasteners" (33) comprising stationary guides (32) and movable latches (34), cam rods (34) and cam-rod bearings (37), all of which project into the upper part (31) of the box-like sleeper section member (5), whereas the bottom part houses the points-tongue slide rods (54), the tongue-monitoring linkage (45), heating rods (43) if any, and shock-absorbing elements (38).
