  • Patent number: 7356627
    Abstract: A data handling device capable of operating in a system in which two or more devices are connected by a data bus for the transmission of communications therebetween, the data bus having two or more data lines and the device having: two or more data bus connectors, each for connection to a respective data line of the data bus; an identity acquisition unit capable of functioning in a first mode of operation of the device to receive data transmitted over the data bus and in response to the order in which the bits of one or more data words of a predetermined form are received on the data bus connectors during the first mode of operation determine an identity for the device and store the identity in an identity store of the device; and a data handling unit capable of functioning in a second mode of operation of the device to handle communications transmitted over the bus and that specify the identity stored in the data store as a destination.

  • Publication number: 20060198336
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method, a system, a base station, a base station hub (41) and software applications for data transmission between at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) and a radio network controller (40) in a radio access network, said method comprising operating a first-type physical layer protocol (46) for a transmission of said data between said at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) and a base station hub (41); operating a second-type physical layer protocol (47) for a transmission of said data between said base station hub (41) and said radio network controller (40); wherein said data comprises user data (340) that is transmitted between said radio network controller (40) and said at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) via said base station hub (41); and wherein said at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) performs at least base band processing for signals that are transmitted via a radio interface (7) and represent said user data (340).

  • Patent number: 6719145
    Abstract: An arrangement and a rotor for screening of pulp is disclosed that is suitable for the screening of chemical and mechanical pulps, i.e. fiber suspensions of the wood processing industry. A feature of the arrangement and rotor is that inside the rotor (16) there is arranged at least one dilution liquid chamber (24′, 24″, 24′″) restricted by a surface of the rotor (16), which surface is provided with means for connecting said at least one chamber (24′, 24″, 24′″) with the screening space defined between the rotor and the screen drum in such a way that dilution liquid from said at least one chamber (24′, 24″, 24′″) is brought into the screening space at a distance of at least 20 mm from the inner surface of the screen drum (14).
