The instant application provides a keyboard for a touch-operated device. In one embodiment, a band is provided that includes two keyboards, one for portrait mode and one for landscape mode; the band can be slipped onto the touch-operated device as needed. In another embodiment a sleeve is provided that includes front and back faces, each with a respective viewing window and keyboard to support landscape mode and portrait mode operations, respectively. Another embodiment sleeve includes a single window and two detachable keyboards, one for portrait mode and one for landscape mode, that may be affixed to the sleeve as needed.

A door arrangement for tightly closing a door opening comprises a door frame, a door which, when closed, is arranged in the door frame, and inner and outer sealing lips. The inner and outer sealing lips run next to each other along a periphery of the door opening between a first surface of the door and a second surface of the door frame, wherein the first and second surfaces face each other. The inner and outer sealing lips bound a space formed between them. The door arrangement further comprises a pressure-reducing device configured to reduce pressure in the space.

A wall element for the sound-insulating interior lining of a transport device, comprising at least one sandwich element, at least one insulation package and at least one absorber plane element. The sandwich element comprises at least one core layer, a first cover layer and a second cover layer, wherein the first cover layer and the second cover layer are each arranged on one side of the core layer. At least the first or the second cover layer is a microperforated layer; the sandwich element possesses a shear rigidity that is adjusted in such a way that the sandwich element comprises one or several coincidence boundary frequencies that are determined by the shear rigidity, which coincidence boundary frequencies are outside the frequency range that dominates the noise in the interior of the cabin; and the shear rigidity of the sandwich element at the same time is sufficient for said sandwich element to be used as an interior lining. Sound-insulating interior lining according to the aspects according to the invention provides adequate sound insulation also in the lower frequency range of below 500 Hz, without increasing the weight of the interior lining when compared to the weight of conventional interior linings.

A lighting apparatus comprises an LED-mounted substrate and an exhauster. The substrate has a flat area as well as one or more raised areas of trapezoidal cross section which each form a passage thereunder. LEDs are mounted on the raised areas. When the LED-mounted substrate is installed on a wall, the passages are enclosed by the wall. The exhauster removes the heat from the LEDs by drawing out the air going through inside the passages.

In an automotive vehicle body including a first annular frame (29) formed by front pillars (11, 12), a second annular frame (34) formed by center pillars (13, 14) and a front door (7) internally provided with a front door beam (51) and fitted between the front pillar and center pillar one each side of the vehicle body, the front door beam overlaps the first annular frame and second annular frame as seen from sideways, and includes a door beam main body (61) providing a channel member having an open side facing inboard and a tension wire (71) extending along an inboard side of the door beam main body. Thereby, when another vehicle hits the front door from sideways, because the front door beam overlaps the first annular frame and second annular frame as seen from sideways, the impact energy can be effectively transmitted to the vehicle body. Furthermore, because the door beam main body supports a compressive load while the tension wire supports a tensile load, deformation of the door beam is minimized.

The bandwidth or acoustical range of a nacelle or other type of acoustic structure is increased by acoustically coupling honeycomb cells together to form pairs of acoustic cells that have an effective acoustic or resonator length that is up to twice that of either acoustic cell taken alone.

A transfer apparatus includes a stationary base, a swivel rotatable around a vertical rotation axis, a linear movement mechanism supported by the swivel, a hand supported by the linear movement mechanism for transferring a work along a horizontal path, a driving power source in the stationary base, and a transmission shaft arranged along the rotation axis for transmitting driving force from the driving power source to the linear movement mechanism. The linear movement mechanism includes a driving mechanism and a guide rail for movably supporting the hand. The driving mechanism has a plurality of pulleys, including a driving pulley supported rotatably around a horizontal axis, and an output belt wound around the plurality of pulleys for reciprocal movement within a predetermined section extending parallel to the movement path. The hand is connected to the output belt via a connection member.
