In a method for labeling, a label strip (20) is moved by means of an electric motor (80). Arranged on this label strip are labels (26) of predetermined length (EL) with uniform interstices (SB). The motor has associated with it a position controller (218), also a sensor (44) for sensing a predetermined position of a label (26) when the latter is moved on the label strip (20) relative to the sensor (44). The method has the following steps: in accordance with a stored profile, the label strip (20) is set in motion beginning from a start position (A), a first target position (Z) of the label strip being specified to the position controller (218); during the motion of the label strip (20), a predetermined position (M) of the label strip (20) is sensed; and subsequently thereto, a revised target position (Z) is specified to the position controller (218). This makes possible fast and precise labeling, since the target position can be reached very accurately. A corresponding device has a compact design.

A secondary station has a receiver capable of resolving signals received (504,510) as a plurality of multipath signals from a plurality of base stations during a soft handover process. In order to decode and act upon the received signals in a very short period of time, an initial subset of received multipath signals is processed (506) to provide an estimate of the action needing to be taken by the station, which action is then implemented by the station (508). Later arriving signals are processed separately (512) and used to update the estimate, as a result of which the action already taken may be corrected (514). Such a secondary station is particularly suitable for decoding and acting upon power control commands included in received signals in a UMTS system, for which a very limited period of time is provided by the UMTS specification.

The reference values are formed based on a received repetition coded signal. Vectors are formed using the reference values such that the number of vector elements corresponds to the number of symbols used in transmission of the bits. The largest of the elements of a determination vector formed by combining the vectors, is determined and the index of the largest element is used to indicate the bit boundary. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) Bit boundary detection system; and (2) Electronic device.

A system and method employing a combination of long-range and short-range asset location systems, preferable a GPS-based system combined with an RFID-based system. The short-range system regularly activates itself, or is remotely polled, to determine if the asset is within range of the short-range transceivers, and the long-range system is activated to determine the location of the asset when it is outside the range of the short-range transceivers. In at least some embodiments, the asset is an automobile equipped with both RFID and GPS-based transceivers.

The device has a measuring tape (4) attached by clamping to a concave surface (3) of a carrier body (1). The extent of the concave surface is defined by detent surfaces (6,7) on each end of the measuring tape. At least one of the detent surfaces is adjustable using an adjusting device (9), so that the spacing of the detent surfaces can be matched to the length of the measuring tape.

Finisher comprises a chassis (1), an inlet board (5) hinged via arms (6), a base board (7) and an outlet board (8). The angle of the inlet board can be adjusted via an adjusting cylinder (12). Hydraulic supporting cylinders (21) are arranged between the rear region of the chassis and the outlet board and/or board parts (9) of each side. The cylinders are impinged with an adjustable hydraulic pressure in the direction of the ground when the finisher is started up. Preferred Features: The supporting cylinders are hinged on the chassis on the piston side and on each outlet board and/or the board parts on the piston rod side. The chassis has hooks (20) for a trailer.

A method of initializing a phase-change optical information recording medium is provided, using an optical system incorporating a semiconductor laser device. The laser device is characterized by a specified spatial power distribution. In a spatial distribution of the laser power focused on the recording medium in the direction perpendicular to guide tracks, the laser device preferably has an average smaller in both end regions of the spatial distribution, which have each 10% of the width at half maximum of the distribution, than the average in the center region of the full width at half maximum of the distribution.

1. A connection of the ends of conveyor belts with elastomeric material into which are embedded at least one layer of longitudinal filaments which extend substantially in the running direction of the conveyor belt and at least one layer comprising transverse filaments which extend at an angle of inclination of in particular 90 degrees to the running direction and where, in the region of the connection, the ends of at least one layer are finger-shaped and interlock with one another, characterised in that the longitudinal filaments are arranged as tension carriers (2) in a single tension carrier layer which is separated from the layer comprising the transverse filaments by at least one elastomeric intermediate layer (4) and that the transverse filaments consist of entwined and/or twisted individual filaments or fibres which are arranged at an angle of inclination of at least 45 degrees to the running direction, are combined by means of a hardened bonding agent to form stiff cords (8), and stiffen the layer in question to form a stiffening layer (7).
