Publication number: 20150133745Abstract: A portable apparatus comprising a communication interface for communicating with a wireless network; a photo sensor for receiving non-invasive biometric information of a user; at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the portable apparatus to receive a noisy biometric information using a photo sensor; filter the noisy biometric information to provide filtered input data for reducing noise; derive the input data to provide local maxima values of the input data; define at least one local maxima value pair; determine a weight value for the at least one local maxima value pair; select a local maxima value pair of the highest weight value; and generate an estimate of a pulse based on the selected local maxima value pair.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2014Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: Vili Forsell, Tero Karkkainen

Patent number: 7649872Abstract: An architectural solution in which standalone ad-hoc network cells are used as an extension of the backbone infrastructure in terms of network architecture or/and its service capabilities is provided. These Ad-Hoc networks will integrate to the Internet via cellular and other access networks. This integration brings new possibilities to network operators and ISP's. In its extended architecture, it is envisaged that the mobility issues are handled by utilizing the IP mobility capabilities, taking into account the mobile mesh Ad-Hoc specific requirements. A trunk node is elected from among nodes within a service area of an Ad-Hoc domain that underlies an access domain. The trunk node acts as a gateway between the nodes within the Ad-Hoc domain and a backbone access network. The election can be performed by the trunk node itself or by a radio resource management entity.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2005Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Siamak Naghian, Tapio Lindstrom, Tero Karkkainen, Jarmo Makinen, Keijo Lahetkangas, Kai Mustonen

Patent number: 7254717Abstract: An arrangement for protecting data saved in a memory, in which arrangement at least one memory element and at least one data processing element are combined by means of required interfaces into a data processing entity. The arrangement comprises at least one scrambler (300, 410, 600) connected to the data processing entity, which scrambler (300, 410, 600) scrambles the form in which the data to be saved in the memory element is represented and/or descrambles data saved in the memory element into plain text when data is taken from the memory element for the use of the data processing elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2003Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Tero Kärkkäinen, Tommi Kivimäki

Publication number: 20070015379Abstract: An electronic component assembly including an electrical connector and an electronic subassembly. The electrical connector has a housing with a receiving area, electrical contacts connected to the housing, and fusible elements. The electrical contacts include first electrical connection sections in the receiving area and second electrical connection sections proximate a first exterior side of the housing. The fusible elements are connected to the second electrical connection sections. The electronic subassembly includes a printed wiring assembly and electronic components connected to opposite sides of the printed wiring assembly. The printed wiring assembly includes a relatively rigid section with the electronic components connected thereto and a flex cable forming deflectable lateral side sections with contact areas contacting the first electrical connector sections of the electrical contacts.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2006Publication date: January 18, 2007Inventors: Tero Karkkainen, Kalle Salokannel

Publication number: 20060037192Abstract: A method of manufacturing a printed wiring board is provided that results in there being no signal lines on the surface layers of the printed wiring board. Additionally, no solder resist printing is required on the printed wiring board during manufacture. This results in a printed wiring board without solder resist and without any signal lines on the surface layers. The surface layers contain only component solder pads.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2004Publication date: February 23, 2006Inventors: Tero Karkkainen, Kalle Salokannel

Publication number: 20050099943Abstract: A traffic and radio resource control in a wireless device with multiple operation modes is disclosed. For accomplishing an efficient use of physical and radio resources in terms of the required service level, a first set of radio transmission resources is selected for an assembled output data stream. A path is then searched for with respect to each destination node of the stream, each path leading from the wireless communication device to the destination node in question and fulfilling the service level requirement corresponding to that destination node. The transmission of the output data stream is then scheduled according to the current state of the wireless communication device, when a path is found for each of the destination nodes. The operation modes of the wireless communication device are controlled to maintain the required service level during the transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2004Publication date: May 12, 2005Inventors: Siamak Naghian, Tero Karkkainen

Publication number: 20040179502Abstract: A method and apparatus provide security services in an ad-hoc network. In order to provide security services, a set of user identities is transmitted from a first ad-hoc node to a second network external to the ad-hoc network. The set of user identities includes user identities related to at least one ad-hoc node. A first set of authentication parameters is generated in the external network. The first set of authentication parameters includes an authentication vector for each user identity included in the set of user identities and each authentication vector including a second set of authentication parameters. Some of the authentication parameters of the second set are transferred to the first ad-hoc node, whereby a third set of authentication parameters is received at the first ad-hoc node. The third set of authentication parameters is utilized at the first ad-hoc node for providing a security service in the ad-hoc network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2003Publication date: September 16, 2004Inventors: Siamak Naghian, Tero Karkkainen

Patent number: 6785816Abstract: Methods and systems for secured configuration data for a programmable device. One or more memory devices store configuration data that includes one or more configuration bitstreams and associated authentication tags for each configuration bitstream. Each authentication tag is created using the associated configuration bitstream. A programmable device operably connected to the one or more memory devices receives one of the configuration bitstreams. The programmable device uses the associated authentication tag of the configuration bitstream to verify that the configuration bitstream is authentic. The programmable device loads the configuration bitstream if the one of the configuration bitstream is authentic, or may discard it otherwise.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2000Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Tommi Kivimaki, Tero Karkkainen
