Separated by a common translation? How the British and the Dutch communicate

Abstract: The British and Dutch share a long naval-, war- and medical history, in good times as well as bad. Their language has a common Germanic origin, but the English people may use special ways to express values or opinions, from which the sometimes paradoxical meaning is not always clear to the other party. Particularly with the Dutch, renowned for their directness, this may cause confusion. We provide a comprehensive set of expressions, each with paired interpretations, to foster Anglo-Dutch cooperation.

Subliminal perception in cars

Abstract: Following laws and provisions passed on the national and international level, the most relevant goal of future vehicular interfaces is to increase road safety. To alleviate the cognitive load associated with the interaction with the variety of emerging information and assistance systems in the car (and to increase driving performance as well), subliminal persuasion is assumed to be a promising technique to reduce the amount of information the driver must store and recall. Subliminal cues could be provided across appropriate sensory modalities, according to the specific nature of the current task, and corresponding to drivers' cognitive abilities.The central objective of this workshop is to provoke a lively debate on the adequacy of information provided below active awareness and to discuss how to resolve potential problems in this highly risky research field. This approach exhibits exciting challenges, which can -- once fully understood -- impact on society at large, making significant contributions toward a more natural, convenient, and even relaxing future style of driving. Therefore, and to further strengthen significance of results, the workshop is directed at researchers from a range of disciplines, such as engineering, neuroscience, computer science, and psychophysiology.

Requirements of Processing Extended Floating Car Data in a Large Scale Environment

Abstract: Traffic volume is steadily increasing whilst infrastructure capacities stay the same – based on this prediction efficient processing of floating car data (FCD) and extended floating car data (xFCD) is of great significance to ensure future individual mobility. By taking into consideration results of existing FCD/xFCD studies the major subject of this paper is to define base requirements for collecting (x)FCD in a large scale environment. IM TD, AKTIV and COOPERS are some of the most significant projects in the field of car to infrastructure (C2X), car to car (C2C) and infrastructure to car (X2C) research sector. One focus of this paper is to analyse potential barriers of these approaches referring to a large area application with at least 10,000 xFCD data providers. As we see it an economically feasible solution for a road network wide capturing of floating car data is currently not available. The presented system requirements are the initial approach of processing xFCD in a large scale environment.

Hand Vibrations of the Human Operator in the Working Space

Abstract: The paper contains the identification and the taking into account the vibrations produced by the machines, the lathe with different number of rotation, and them action over the human bodies inside the working space. For the identification of vibrations is applied a new method, the Moire projection method, that did not used until this moment regarding the vibrations action over the human body. Our research was to apply the Moire projection method to the human hand. They were compared with the measured vibrations using a classic vibrometer with three-axial accelerometer. The results in the booth situation were in the same order of the unit scale, and the optical method named Moire projection method can be considered a valid method for the human vibrations measurements without touch of the surface.

Motor home bed

Abstract: A motor home bed is composed of a plurality of lying surface sections which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of a vehicle. Of which at least one lying surface section can be pivoted into a vertical position by use of functional fittings. The bed significantly improves the variability of the useful interior of a motor home, this being achieved in that the functional fittings are mounted so as to be displaceable parallel to one another on longitudinal guides extending horizontally in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Network Coding with Multilevel Modulation in Distributed Antenna Systems

Abstract: Network coding with multilevel modulation in distributed antenna systems is analyzed, by which the performance of the uplink can improved due to multiuser diversity. A sample system consist of 2 users with symbol-level network coding is given, where the multilevel modulation is employed at the transmitter, and a kind of maximum ratio combination scheme is used at the receiver. Both the theoretical analysis and simulation show that the better diversity performance can be achieved by proposed scheme at a lower hardware and bandwidth cost.

Drawer cool box

Abstract: Es wird eine Schubkastenkuhlbox aus einer in einem Gehause, insbesondere einem Kuchenblock (1) eines Campingfahrzeuges an Auszugsfuhrungen auszieh- und einschiebbar gelagerten Kuhlbox (2) mit einer nach oben gerichteten Zugriffsoffnung (5) und einer oberen Kuhlboxabdeckung (3) zur Verfugung gestellt, die sehr viel leichter bedienbar ist und die die Zuganglichkeit von in der Schubkastenkuhlbox gelagerten Lebensmitteln deutlich verbessert, was dadurch erzielt wird, dass die Kuhlboxabdeckung (3) uber Koppelelemente (4) beweglich in dem Kuchenblock (1) gelagert, in einer ausgezogenen Position der Kuhlbox (2) nach oben von dieser abgehoben und in einer eingeschobenen Position nach unten auf die Zugriffsoffnung (5) der Kuhlbox (2) abgesenkt ist. There is a drawer cooler exhaust from a in a housing, in particular a kitchen corner (1) of a camping vehicle to pull-out guides and insertable mounted cooler (2) provided with an upwardly directed access opening (5) and an upper cooling box cover (3) is available, the is much easier to use and improves the accessibility of stored in the drawer cooler foods clearly what is achieved by the fact that the cooling box cover (3) by means of coupling elements (4) movable in the kitchen unit (1) mounted in an extended position of the cool box ( 2) upwards lifted from this and lowered into a retracted position down to the access opening (5) of the cooler (2).

Drawer-type cooling box

Abstract: A drawer-type cooling box assembly includes a cooling box which is mounted in a housing, in particular in a kitchen unit of a camping vehicle, so as to be able to be pulled out and pushed in on pull-out guides and has an upwardly directed access opening and an upper cooling box covering. The drawer-type cooling box is able to be operated very much more easily and significantly improving the accessibility to foodstuffs stored in the drawer-type cooling box, which is obtained in that the cooling box covering is mounted movably in the kitchen unit via coupling elements, is lifted off upward from the cooling box in a pulled-out position of same and, in a pushed-in position, is lowered downward onto the access opening of the cooling box.
