Kaugummivor- oder -Zwischenprodukten in streifenförmige oder plattenförmige Gegenstandsuntereinheiten (S), wobei folgende Verfahrensschritte und Vorrichtungsmerkmale vorgesehen sind: Bereitstellen der plattenformigen Gegenstände (P), wobei jeder plattenförmige Gegenstand (P) mindestens einen Schwächungsbereich (R) aufweist; Separieren einzelner streifenförmiger oder plattenförmiger Gegenstandsuntereinheiten (S) sukzessive aufeinander folgend von den bereitgestellten plattenförmigen Gegenständen (P), wobei das Separieren mittels einer Förder- und Separiervorrichtung (10) an den Schwächungsbereichen (R) der plattenförmigen Gegenstände (P) erfolgt; und Weiterfördern der einzelnen gebildeten streifenförmigen oder plattenförmigen Gegenstandsuntereinheiten (S).

A method (10) of obtaining acoustical measurements of an individual ear that are compensated for errors caused by ear canal resonances.

A rotatable forming apparatus and a method for modifying a shape of a container. The rotatable forming apparatus includes a frame and a forming turret assembly. The forming turret assembly includes a drive shaft, a fixed turret portion, a turret starwheel, an axially moveable turret portion and forming ram assemblies. The forming ram assemblies extend around and connect to the axially movable turret portion. Each of the forming ram assemblies includes cam followers, a forming die, a knockout tooling device and a drive cylinder. The cam followers are configured to follow the cam as the forming ram assemblies rotate around the stationary cam. The forming die is operatively connected to the cam followers such that the forming die moves in the vertical direction while following the cam. The drive cylinder causes axial movement of the knockout tooling device and is configured to operate independently of the forming die.

A character management method according to the present invention comprises: a step of generating a first character in an on-line game space; a step of generating a second character linked to the first character in a mobile communication game space; a character information storage step of storing development information of the first and second characters; and an information linking step for reflecting the development information of the first character at a constant ratio based on the changes in the development information of the second character.

An exemplary elevator brake device includes at least one braking component that is movable between a disengaged position and a fully engaged position. An actuator selectively moves from a ready position to urge the braking component to move from the disengaged position toward the fully engaged position. A reset component moves responsive to movement of the braking component toward the fully engaged position. The reset component causes the actuator to move back toward the ready position before the braking component reaches the fully engaged position.

A method, apparatus, computer program and user interface wherein the method comprises detecting a user input wherein the user input comprises deforming at least a portion of a housing of an apparatus; and in response to detecting the user input, varying the amount of content displayed on a display, in dependence upon the deformation made to the housing of the apparatus.

A capacitor-over-bitline structure includes a bottom electrode that has an open vessel form factor. The bottom-electrode form factor includes a floor, rectilinear sidewalls, and a rim that defines the topmost feature. A capacitor dielectric film contacts and covers the floor, the sidewalls, and the rim. A top electrode has a convex form factor that complements the concave bottom-electrode form factor. A process of forming the capacitor-over-bitline structure by spinning on a reflowable sacrificial material such as an oxide that covers both logic and memory portions of a semiconductive device, followed by a polish-back process and a recessing etch of the bottom electrode.

A vehicular collision avoidance system includes a sensor mounted on a vehicle, wherein the senor is operative to measure the distance between an overhead obstacle ahead of the vehicle and the sensor; a processor connected to the sensor; means for determining a reference height which is the height above ground level at which the sensor is mounted on the vehicle, and wherein the reference height is entered into the processor; means for determining the height of the tallest portion of the vehicle above ground level, wherein the height of the tallest portion of the vehicle is also entered into the processor; and wherein the processor adds the reference height to the distance between the obstacle and the sensor to determine a measured height of the obstacle. The processor produces an alarm if the measured height of the obstacle is less than the height of the tallest portion of the vehicle.

Provided are an information feedback method and device in a coordinated multipoint transmission mode. The method includes: a terminal determining whether to feed back only one piece of rank information (RI) according to high layer configuration; if only one piece of RI is to be fed back, then the terminal feeding back to the network side the RI, precoding matrix information (PMI) and channel quality information (CQI) based on a hypothesis that only a master serving node performs sending, and feeding back to the network side the PMI and CQI of an adjacent serving node based on the RI which performs coordinated multipoint transmission (CoMP) with the master serving node according to the CoMP mode. The method and device provided by the embodiments of the present invention can reduce feedback overhead under the premise of supporting dynamic handover in various CoMP modes.
