Abstract: An event identifier is received. The event identifier identifies an amount of content dispensed from a container detected using a sensor device that includes a transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal and a receiver configured to receive the interrogation signal that has been reflected within the container. A transaction identifier of a transaction associated with quantities of different component ingredient items is received. The amount of content dispensed from the container is automatically correlated with the transaction at least in part by matching the amount of content dispensed from the container with at least one of the component ingredient items associated with the transaction.

Abstract: A problem with known data transmission networks is that the connection of the terminal equipment to the data transmission network is not flexible. The user must himself actively perform the choice and connection of access as well as it registration with the network nodal point. The invention concerns a method and an arrangement for routing a data transmission connection between terminal equipment and a host over a data transmission network, which network includes at least two access points for connecting the terminal equipment to the data transmission network. The method is characterized in that a least one criterion is established for the choice of access point, the access points are estimated according to said criteria, at least one access point meeting the criteria is chosen, and the data transmission traffic is connected through the chosen at least one access point.

Abstract: A problem with known data transmission networks is that the connection of the terminal equipment to the data transmission network is not flexible. The user must himself actively perform the choice and connection of access as well as its registration with the network nodal point. The invention concerns a method and an arrangement for routing a data transmission connection between terminal equipment (TE) and a host over a data transmission network, which network includes at least two access points (R1, R2, R3) for connecting the terminal equipment to the data transmission network. The method is characterized in that at least one criterion is established for the choice of access point, the access points are estimated according to said criteria, at least one access point meeting the criteria is chosen, and the data transmission traffic is connected through the chosen at least one access point.

Abstract: A digital data transmission system includes a transmitting party, a receiving party, a non-transparent circuit-switched data connection between the transmitting and receiving parties, a control element for changing the data transmission capacity of the data connection, and a sliding-window data flow control protocol where the number of transmitted data frames to which the transmitting party has not received an acknowledgement from the receiving party is not allowed to exceed the size of the sliding window. The transmitting and receiving parties are arranged to change the size of the sliding window when one or both of them receive information from the control element on a change in the data transmission capacity of the data connection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a protocol-independent routing of data packets between a mobile station of a packet radio network and a party(Host) connected to an external network. In the invention, a data packet of an extraneous protocol(IPX) is transferred through a packet radio network using a second protocol as encapsulated in a data packet according to the second protocol. The transferring packet radio network does not thus need to understand the protocol of the transferred extraneous data packet or to be able to interpret the content of the data packet. A data packet network is connected to other packet radio networks, data networks or the backbone network between packet data networks via a gateway node(GPRS GSN), which uses the network-internal protocol towards the dedicated packet network and the protocol of each network towards other networks.

Abstract: In a digital data transmission system using sliding-window flow control with an adjustable window size on a non-transparent data connection whose nominal data transmission rate may vary during the connection, a receiving party delays the transmission of a retransmission request for a missing frame for the duration of a delay, so that the receiving party may ensure that the missing frame has not been moved to be sent later in the same group or in next groups. If the missing frame is received later in the same group or in the next groups within said delay, no retransmission request is sent. If the missing frame is not received by the end of the delay, a retransmission request is sent. This eliminates unnecessary retransmissions due to the wrong frame order, and resulting loading or congestion. This results in a higher throughput on the data connection. If grouping is not being used, retransmission is not delayed unless a delay is needed for another reason.
