A method implementation of this technique comprises the following steps carried out by the first routing node: receiving a first mobile terminating connection attempt to the mobile terminal, in response to receipt of the first mobile terminating connection attempt, determining that the mobile terminal cannot be reached by the first routing node, determining an identity of the second routing node, and transmitting, to the second routing node, a second mobile terminating connection attempt for a CS connection to the mobile terminal.

Abstract: Laminated articles that include a first textile and a functional film layer bonded together by an adhesive layer having a non-uniform adhesive pattern is provided. The non-uniform adhesive pattern creates regions free or substantially free of adhesive that permits the laminate to preferentially bend in those regions. The adhesive regions, together with the non-adhesive regions, create a visible pattern on the surface of the laminate. A second textile may optionally be bonded to the functional film layer opposing the first textile by an adhesive. The first textile or the film layer may be elastic, shrinkable, or expandable. In such embodiments, raised portions of the laminate corresponding to the non-adhesive regions and curled portions corresponding to the adhesive regions are visible.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for protecting an electronic equipment from being stolen when using a protection unit adapted to communicate with a surveillance centre when it is detected that the electronic equipment has been stolen. A communication unit at the electronic equipment transmits control signals indicating whether the protection unit is working alright. A fault detector receives the control signals and indicates a fault when detecting that the protection unit is not working depending on the control signals. In that case, an operation control unit disables the electronic equipment in response to the indicated fault. Thereby, it is not attractive to steal the electronic equipment since it will be made more or less useless once it is detected that it has been stolen.
