Abstract:
A communication terminal for Internet telephony is provided that handles and control communication of data in accordance with a standardized network protocol and exchanges data with a connecting unit connected to the Internet where the resulting data exchanged between the terminal and a connecting unit consist of packets in a standardized protocol data packet format embedded in a wireless format. This provides a communications terminal which uses a network or the Internet for the transfer of digitized speech, etc., thereby achieving great economic savings. Also, the flexibility is increased with respect to wireless communication with the network or the Internet without any need for specialized equipment and functionality.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an apparatus and a method for making and compressing growth medium pots, where the growth medium pots are made as a growth medium pipe, where a tubular wall is formed by the fibre-containing material, where the growth medium pipe contains slightly compressed growth medium. It is the purpose of the invention to achieved an apparatus and a method for cheap and efficient production of firmly compressed growth medium pots, where the growth medium pots are rapidly and efficiently compressed contained in the fibre-containing material. This may be achieved with an apparatus as described in the introduction, if the apparatus is designed so that the end of the growth medium pipe is disposed in an opening in a revolving unit by transport means, where the opening in the revolving unit can be surrounded by at least a wall and a bottom, where means for cutting is separating the individual growth means pot from the growth medium pipe, where the revolving unit is rotated between a number of stop positions, where at least one stop position interacts with a cylinder unit at least including a pressing cylinder with connection to at least one piston, where the piston interacts with one of the openings of the revolving unit, where the growth medium pot contained in the opening of the revolving unit is compressed by the piston with an advancing movement, where at least one of the stop positions of the revolving unit interacts with an ejector cylinder that is connected with a piston which is pressing a finished growth medium pot out of an opening in the revolving unit. Hereby may be attained a very rapid and simultaneously very uniform compression of growth medium pots. By compressing growth medium pots, the air content is reduced without affecting the other contents of the growth medium pot. During transport and storage, a reduction in volume is very essential.

This invention relates to a plant cube, comprising a block of mineral fibres, having a top surface, a bottom surface and four side surfaces, which block comprises a laminated structure of in parallel orientated mineral wool fibres, wherein preferably the laminated structure comprises substantially vertically orientated fibres, or wherein preferably the laminated structures comprises substantially horizontally orientated fibres.
Abstract:
Wireless base station device for handling wireless communication, e.g. DECT, between a plurality of associated wireless terminals and an IP network. The base station device has a radio transceiver, a network interface, and a processor with communication application and a communication session management software. The communication session management is arranged to control a communication session with an associated wireless terminal (upper layer management), while wireless communication with said associated wireless terminal involved with said communication session (lower layer) is handled by another base station device. Thus, the base station can manage separate operation of its upper and lower layer, thereby enabling e.g. hand-over of a session to and from other base stations. This allows self contained single casing base station devices to operate in a network without the need for at central server, and still such network is easy to extend by adding base stations.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an article comprising a length of an optical fibre and a package, the optical fibre comprising a fibre Bragg grating dispersed over a FBG-section of the length of the optical fibre, the package comprising a carrier with a carrier surface for supporting at least a supported part of the optical fibre including the FBG-section. The invention further relates to an apparatus comprising the article, to its use and to a method of manufacturing such an article. The object of the present invention is to seek to provide an optimized (e.g. elongate) package having a relatively low sensitivity to mechanical vibrations from the environment. This is achieved by providing that the carrier surface for supporting the optical fibre comprising a fibre Bragg grating is convex in a longitudinal direction of the optical fibre during use of the article. This has the advantage of providing a lowering of the influence of vibrations from acoustic sources (or other sources of mechanical vibration) in the environment compared to prior art solutions. In an embodiment, the carrier comprises two different materials, each adapted to provide a specific tuning of the wavelength selected by the fibre Bragg grating. The invention may e.g. be used for the fibre lasers for sensing, (low frequency/low phase noise fibre lasers) in wavelength tuneable fibre lasers, and in packaging of fibre lasers in general.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions and methods for modulating hemichannel function in a cell, tissue or organ. The invention also relates to useful screens for detecting such compounds, particularly those capable of modulating connexin phosphorylation. Further provided are therapeutic methods for preventing or treating conditions impacted by undesired hemichannel function in a mammal such as heart arrhythmia.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an installation for producing growth substrate blocks, particularly for blocks for cuttings for horticultural use, where loose substrate material is compacted in a forming chamber (18) and thus forms useable block bodies. With the present invention a compulsory moistening of the blocks with suitably heated water is performed, after which these are made ready for use almost immediately, so that an actual conditioning no longer is necessary or can be reduced considerably. The blocks can be moistened and heated from the inside to a desired temperature in a both quick and energy saving way. The moistener, which preferably is water, can contain various additives such as nutrients or the like.
