Publication number: 20080259874Abstract: A method for handing-off a mobile node (MN) from one network interface to another network interface, the network interfaces being connected to a same level 2 (L2) network. The method includes detecting at least two network interface cards (NICs) of the MN that are connected to the same L2 network by at least one of an external device and the MN. A handover decision is made to hand-off a data flow of the MN from a first of the at least two NICs to a second of the at least two NICs. L2 information about the MN in one or more related network entities connected to the same L2 network is updated so as to perform seamless handover without changing an address on level 3 (L3) or higher levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2008Publication date: October 23, 2008Applicants: Deutsche Telekom AG, Fachhochschule Giessen-FriedbergInventors: Dimitri Sivchenko, Bangnan Xu

Patent number: 7206437Abstract: A method to conduct fingerprint verification provides a sector distribution based on the position and angle of every minutiae vector, wherein the number of further minutiae vectors of the template in any sector of the sector distribution is determined and a feature vector is generated for every minutiae vector of both templates. The two feature arrays are matched by calculating the scalar product for every combination of said vectors generating a matrix. Mated pairs of minutiae from the first second template are found by searching the maximum element in every column of the matrix finally issuing a value representing identification information of the fingerprint. Additionally a false finger identification method and a fingerprint verification system are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2004Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Berner Fachhochschule Hochschule fur Technik und Architektur BielInventors: Hans Walter Kramer, Lorenz Müller

Patent number: 7141952Abstract: Method for the determination of start commutation in synchronous servo-drives by means of two coupled control loops, a current control circuit and an angle control circuit. The angle control circuit contains an incremental position sensor signal. A ramped desired value is predetermined by the current control. A constant angle desired value is predetermined by the angle control. The angle control is embodied in such a manner that is has a faster dynamic than the current control dynamic of the signal which is impinged upon by the current control by rotating the magnetic field. The method can be controlled in all positions by the input of an S-shaped disturbance variable signal in the angle control. The shaft of the electric drive can be mechanically blocked in the position during initialization of the start commutation and is regulated to the same position as in the beginning of the start commutation.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2006Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Fachhochschule FlensburgInventor: Friedrich Blödow

Publication number: 20060230268Abstract: A method for setting up a secure communication line between a user and a service provider using non-secure communication channels within an insecure network, comprising the steps of transmitting an identity token from a user station to a service provider station both coupled to the insecure network; upon reception of the identity token, triggering the creation of a secret URL by the service provider station; transmitting the secret URL within a secure side channel to the user station; obtaining, within the user station, the secret URL, and setting-up a new communication path in the insecure network linking the user and the service provider station based on said secret URL. Beside discarding a man-in-the-middle by denying him access to the data flow it is also possible to stop him through denying him access to the content of the data flow. Such access can be denied through use of a one-time codebook with semantics only known to the User and the authentication service provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2006Publication date: October 12, 2006Applicants: Berner Fachhochschule Hochschule fur Technik und Architektur Biel, AXSionics AGInventors: Lorenz Muller, Marcel Jacomet, Roger Cattin-Liebl, Alain Rollier

Patent number: 6249586Abstract: The invention concerns a microphone, in particular, for manufacturing based on silicon micromechanical technology. The microphone comprises a first plate and a second plate positioned to form a gap with said first plate at a small separation therefrom. An acoustical membrane is integrated into the first plate. The air gap between the first and second plates is substantially smaller than a characteristic width dimension of the device so that a narrow slot-like entrance between the two plates is thereby defined. An acoustical signal entering into the air gap is guided in a wave guide fashion between the first and second plates to be detected by the acoustical membrane. In this manner a microphone having small lateral dimensions but nevertheless good acoustical sensitivity can be manufactured, in particular, using micromechanical techniques based on silicon technology.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1998Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Fachhochschule FurtwangenInventors: Axel Stoffel, Zden{haeck over (e)}k {haeck over (S)}kvor
