Abstract: Atomic layer deposition (ALD) type processes for producing titanium containing oxide thin films comprise feeding into a reaction space vapor phase pulses of titanium alkoxide as a titanium source material and at least one oxygen source material, such as ozone, capable of forming an oxide with the titanium source material. In preferred embodiments the titanium alkoxide is titanium methoxide.

Abstract: A method (300) for carrying out a security procedure with a mobile station, where a hybrid cellular telecommunication system communicates with a mobile station (301) and the hybrid cellular telecommunication system communicates with a cellular network (308). The method is characterized in that the cellular network carries out the security procedure with the mobile station, the data related to the security procedure is transferred between the cellular network and the mobile station via the hybrid cellular telecommunication system, and the decision of triggering the security procedure of the cellular network is made outside the cellular network (309). The invention also relates to a network element (510) in the hybrid cellular telecommunication system that triggers the security procedure and to a network element (500) in the cellular network that carries out the security procedure after receiving a triggering signal.

Abstract: A network for communicating with a plurality of radiotelephones via respective communication channels over timeslots on a carrier, wherein the channels can operate at a first or second data rate such that a timeslot on the carrier can transmit a single communication channel operating at the first data rate or two communication channels operating at the second data rate, the network comprising a controller responsive to a predetermined condition for initiating a change in the data rate of two channels transmitted on separate timeslots from the first data rate to the second data rate.

Abstract: Atomic layer deposition (ALD) type processes for producing titanium containing oxide thin films comprise feeding into a reaction space vapour phase pulses of titanium alkoxide as a titanium source material and at least one oxygen source material, such as ozone, capable of forming an oxide with the titanium source material. In preferred embodiments the titanium alkoxide is titanium methoxide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for growing oxide thin films which contain barium and/or strontium. According to the method, such thin films are made by the ALE technique by using as precursors for barium and strontium their cyclopentadienyl compounds. A thin film made by means of the invention has a high permittivity and excellent conformality.

Abstract: A method of handing off a mobile station (MS B) from an internal cellular communications network to an external cellular communications network having a network controller, the method comprising: allocating at least one cell of the internal cellular network as a border cell (E); detecting the movement of said mobile station (MS B) into said border cell (E); generating an advance hand-off request in accordance with a prediction algorithm which uses a set of predetermined parameters associated with said mobile station (MS B) and determines when a hand-off is likely to be required; and responsive to said advance hand-off request setting up a communication channel in the external cellular communications network for use by said mobile station (MS B) when an actual hand-off request is made, wherein said external network and said internal network is a packet switched network.

Abstract: A method (400) for controlling calls to and from a mobile station reachable via a hybrid cellular telecommunication system, where said mobile station is the first endpoint of a call, is characterized in that a set of allowed location areas is defined (402). Further, the location area of another endpoint of the call is determined (407), and decision about connecting the call via the hybrid cellular telecommunication system is made (408) based at least on the location area of said other endpoint. Arrangements (600, 610) implementing the method are also presented.
