Indoor Location Sensing Techinique using Wireless Network

The invention relates to an exhaust gas muffler for a two-stroke engine of a portable handheld tool such as a chain saw. The exhaust gas muffler includes a catalyzer wherein high exhaust gas temperatures are developed because of the exothermal reaction which takes place therein. The catalyzer is located in the forward portion of a gas-tight hollow body mounted in the housing of the muffler. The hollow body has a tapered portion which extends out of the housing in the direction of the exhaust gas flow. In this way, the surface temperature of the muffler housing is reduced.
