A connecting arrangement is provided. A tray having a bottom and upright sides on a tray mounted on the vibrating conveyor will absorb the oscillations of the conveyor. The first and second plates are positioned beside one another to form the power contact. The system uses the carrier frequency offset to lock the clock of the master subsystem to the clock of the slave subsystem, thereby enabling bandwidth expansion to be employed on the MIMO data streams. The voicing measure is encoded jointly with a PW nonstationarity measure vector using a spectrally weighted vector quantizer having a codebook partioned based on a voiced and unvoiced mode. A switching unit is provided so as to electrically connect the electrode of the respective non-actuated unit to the common reference point.
