Abstract: Method and device for reducing signalling loads from a mobile device to a mobile telecommunications network system due to intersystem changes. The network system comprises a first and second radio access technology having a first and second radio access network and a first and second network core operable to page a mobile device via at least one element each of the first and second radio access technology. When idle or inactive state signalling reduction (“ISR”) is activated at the mobile device, the mobile device stores at least one first EPS bearer context and/or at least one first PDP context. After ISR is activated, at least one second EPS bearer context and/or at least one second PDP context is activated between the mobile device and the respective network. The respective network uses the stored at least one first contexts, or the at least one second contexts.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for heating a product stream, in particular a basic material for the beverage industry, and especially a milk drink or a mixed milk drink. Due to the fact that, in a heating module, a treatment channel is formed between alternating current electrodes in such a way that the product flows from the first electrode to the second electrode substantially in a main flow direction, the electrode spacing and the cross-section of the treatment channel can be dimensioned largely independently from one another and the energy input in the product as well as the flow behavior of the product can be optimized. This promotes uniform heating of the product and helps to avoid undesirable depositions in the treatment channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sticking, a container, a pocket tape, a method for the production of a pocket tape, a device for the production of a pocket tape, a method for the production of an adhesive tape, an adhesive tape and a device for the production of an adhesive tape. The invention is characterised in that adhesive zones are spaced from one another by non-adhesive zones.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus for applying a drinking straw on a receiving surface of a stand up bag which can be supplied on a conveying surface to a transfer device for drinking straws. To increase the conveying speed of said apparatus, the transfer means should be arranged such the drinking straw while being handed over encloses an acute angle with the conveying surface.

Abstract: An ultrasonic welding apparatus is provided having an anvil preferably connected to a lever assembly. The lever assembly is preferably connected to a carrier via a holder, wherein the holder is pivotable with respect to the carrier, and the lever assembly is pivotable with respect to the holder. An urging device may also be provided to urge the anvil toward an ultrasonic hammer, more preferably away from the carrier.

Abstract: A closing element for a packaging for receiving liquid or paste-like material, especially for film bags, and having a closable spout member, a weld member adjoining the closable spout member, and an outlet channel which extends through the weld member and the spout member, and also a film bag comprising such a closing element. To improve the pouring characteristics and for an easier emptying of the contents of the bag, the outlet channel in the weld member extends at least in part in funnel-like manner towards the spout member.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting objects may include a plurality of grippers having a first spacing at a first position and second spacing at a second position. A drive mechanism may be provided is for selectively displacing the grippers from the first position to the second position to adjust the spacing between the grippers.

Abstract: Retaining contact data for a subscriber to a mobile communication network may be provided by a method and apparatus components therefor that allow for storing contact data for subscribers to a mobile network located within an area served by a mobile switching centre, receiving confirmation at the mobile switching centre (MSC) that a subscriber has left the area, updating the contact data to identify that the subscriber has left the area, and retaining at least part of the contact data, the retained part of the contact data containing call forwarding details for the subscriber.

Abstract: A system for withdrawing a quantity of a product from a product stream may include a product flow channel through which a volume of products may flow, a chamber for receiving a quantity of the product, an opening through which the products may flow from the product flow channel into the chamber. The system preferably also includes a sealing assembly for selectively sealing the opening.

Abstract: A flexible bag transport system for transporting flexible filling and sealing station which includes a pair of holding clamp assemblies opposed to each other for holding the top end of a bag. The first clamp assembly is supported by a first elongated carrier and a second clamp assembly is supported by a second elongated carrier that is parallel to the first carrier. Clamping assemblies remain apart from each other and the bags are transported and are displaced toward each other to permit the bag to be opened during filling of the bag. One of the elongated carriers supporting the clamping assemblies has an adjustable mechanism so that the clamp assemblies can be adjusted with respect to each other without requiring adjustment of the remaining components of the transport system.

Abstract: A container for storing a liquid containing solids such as food products that includes a shut off assembly is provided. The container includes sidewalls and a funnel shaped bottom wall that defines an outlet for the liquid containing solids to be removed from the container. The shut off assembly is positioned at the outlet to open and close the outlet to permit the liquids containing solids to be stored in the container and to be opened to permit the solids to be removed from the container. A shut off assembly is provided at the outlet for providing a source of compressed air through the shut off assembly to effect mixing of the liquid containing solids stored in the container when the shut off assembly is in a closed position so that when the liquid containing solids is removed from the container it is homogenously mixed.

Abstract: A system for transporting an object between stations, for example, from a magazine to a conveyor is provided having a rotary apparatus having two arms, wherein a first arm rocks back and forth between two positions and a second arm rotates about an axis on the first arm. The second arm can be fixedly connected to a holder having one or more suction heads for grasping the object. Preferably, the holder is arranged parallel to the object and moved in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the object as the object is removed from the magazine. Additionally, the holder is preferably displaced above the conveyor and positioned to be parallel to the conveyor, after which the holder is moved toward the conveyor in a path that is perpendicular to the plane of the conveyor. Therefore, the lateral force, shearing force, and friction exerted on the object during removal from the magazine and deposition onto the conveyor can be minimized.
