The invention relates to a muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, consisting a housing having at least one exhaust inlet and at least one exhaust outlet and having at least two pipes at the inlet end or at the outlet end, at least one of which is switchable by a control device at least between an open state and a closed state and is acoustically coupled to a silencer system, such that the silencer system is active when the switchable pipe is opened as well as when it is closed and has a different damping characteristic when the switchable pipe is opened than when the switchable pipe is closed.

An audio decoder for providing a decoded audio information on the basis of an encoded audio information includes an error concealment configured to provide an error concealment audio information for concealing a loss of an audio frame following an audio frame encoded in a frequency domain representation using a time domain excitation signal.

The present invention relates to a trigger mechanism of a repeating rifle. The trigger mechanism has a sear nose that pivots about an axis and a bolt lock which is dedicated to the sear nose and which is connected to a trigger that pivots about a trigger axis and has a sear that meshes with a counter-sear. To make it possible to change the trigger characteristics simply and easily, the counter-sear is disposed on a stationary sear element and the bolt lock is disposed on the sear nose so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation.

An inclined optical compensation film formed from a non-liquid-crystal polymer, which is useful in a TN mode liquid crystal display. A substrate is coated with a non-liquid-crystal polymer to thereby form a coating film; the non-liquid-crystal polymer of the coating film is inclined and aligned; and the coating film is solidified, thereby forming an inclined optical compensation film. The non-liquid-crystal polymer can be inclined and aligned by, for example, applying external force, such as wind blowing, to the coating film. This inclined optical compensation film exhibits, for example, a birefringence (Δn) ranging from 0.001 to 0.5 and thus is useful in a TN mode liquid crystal display, etc.

A semiconductor layer of a transistor is formed of an oxide semiconductor film including a crystal part. An organic resin film covering the transistor is formed. By treatment such as drying treatment on the organic resin film in a cell process, variations in the threshold voltage of the oxide semiconductor transistor due to moisture can be suppressed. A common electrode faces a pixel electrode. The common electrode and the pixel electrode are formed over the organic resin film with an insulating film provided therebetween. Therefore, a capacitor can be provided to a liquid crystal element if a pixel does not include a wiring for a storage capacitor. An antistatic electrode is provided on the outer side of a color filter substrate and the capacitance between the antistatic electrode and the common electrode is utilized, so that the liquid crystal display device can be used as a touch panel.

A screen system having a plurality of screen elements that can be readily removed and replaced to vary one or more characteristics of the screen surface formed by the screen system. The screen system includes a support system for supporting at least one screen element to prevent deformation of the screen element that typically would occur due to the insufficient structural stability of the at least one screen element relative to the weight of the product being screened. Preferably, the support system includes one or more support elements that can be readily and easily installed and removed from the screen system. The support system is preferably configured to permit the one or more support elements to be positioned at different locations in the screen system. Preferably, the support system is configured to permit a variety of different support elements to be used to allow a greater variety of screen elements to be used.
