The curvature of the sheet adds to the spring loading of the parts toward a stable open position of the phone, wherein the sheet has a uniform curvature along its length. The electronic components of the two parts are connected by an electronic element which is laid against the elastic sheet, the electronic element and the sheet being encased in an elastomeric sheath.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustment joint for adjusting position, which adjustment joint (S1, S2) comprises at least two adjustment parts (S11, S12, S13, S21, S22, S23) adapted so as to be rotatable with respect to each other around (arrow R) a joint axis (A1, A2), and a locking element (S14, S15, S15a, S15b, S15c, S15d) functioning in the direction (arrow L) of said joint axis (A1, A2) for locking the adjustment parts (S11, S12, S13, S21, S22, S23) so that they become immobile with respect to each other. According to the invention, the adjustment joint (S1, S2) is adapted so as to be switched from the locked state to a fine adjustment mode by opening the locking element (S14, S15, S15a, S15b, S15c, S15d), which fine adjustment mode is arranged for preferably stepless fine adjustment of position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transmit diversity method for a wireless communication system comprising a transmitting element and at least one receiver, wherein a transmission signal is transmitted from the transmitting element to the at least one receiver in accordance with a weight information determined in response to a feedback information. The feedback information is derived from the response at the at least one receiver to the transmission signal, and is fed back using multiplexed feedback signals. Multiple feedback signal quantization constellations and/or constellation specific feedback subchannels can be used for channel probing, such that the total feedback resolution and robustness can be enhanced, while maintaining low signaling capacity of the feedback channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming a training sequence in a communication system, in which information is transmitted at one or several carrier frequencies, the training sequence (T) being used at least as a synchronization signal. The training sequence (T) is composed of three or more training parts (103-106; 209-212) by any of the following methods. In the first method, at least two adjacent training parts (103, 104; 209, 210) in the training sequence (T) are formed substantially identical, and furthermore, at least one training part (105, 106; 211, 212) is formed substantially as a negation to said identical training parts (103, 104; 209, 210). In the second method, at least two adjacent training parts (103, 104; 209, 210) in the training sequence (T) are formed substantially identical, and furthermore, at least one training part (105, 106; 211, 212) is formed substantially different from said identical training parts.

Abstract: The basic idea of the invention is to separate the location area used in the RAN and the reporting area used when reporting the location of the mobile to the core network. The size of the location area is selected preferably in the RAN based on the services used by the subscriber to optimize the use of radio resources. A reporting area comprises one or a plurality of location areas. The size of a reporting area is selected based on the accuracy of location information needed in the core network. The RAN informs the core network when a subscriber moves out of his current location area. The core network and the radio access network negotiate the size of the reporting area prior to the activation of the service. Additionally, the reporting areas can be renegotiated when the service is in the active state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for forming a beam for transmission in a TDD communication system, wherein an antenna comprises several elements. A multipath propagated signal is received and an antenna response is estimated. A subset of the responses is selected and beam forming coefficients are calculated by using the selected subset. The signal to be transmitted is multiplied by the beam forming coefficients. The inventive solution can be used in a call set-up.

Abstract: A method and system for playing a distributed game over a wireless telecommunications network is disclosed. The game is initiated when a game server sends a task (e.g., a question) to a first group of mobile terminals. Each mobile terminal may either respond to the task (e.g., submit an answer) or forward the task to another mobile terminal. Once a mobile terminal forwards the task, that mobile terminal no longer retains the task. The game ends when a mobile terminal submits a correct task response, when a global time limit ends, or when all mobile terminals have submitted incorrect responses. Responses and forwards can be sent using any known data messaging technique.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for load-sharing in reliable server pools which provide access to legacy servers. A proxy pool element provides an interface between a name server and a legacy server pool, the proxy pool element monitoring legacy application status to effect load sharing and to provide access for an application client via the name server and aggregate server access protocol.

Abstract: A method and system for users to select and participate in call-in broadcast programs are disclosed. A user speaks a station name into a mobile device, providing an indication that the request is for a broadcast channel, to tune the mobile device to that channel. The user initiates a request to contact a show by inputting an indication that the user would like to contact the show. The mobile device sends the request to a call server, which looks up the show's contact information based on the current channel being received by the mobile device, and forwards the request to a show representative. The show representative screens calls and provide automated responses. When the show's representative accepts a request to contact the show, the call server initiates a connection between the mobile device and a telephone or other device associated with the show. Once the connection has been established, the call server withdraws from the connection, allowing the user to communicate with the show representative.

Abstract: A mobile station is constructed to include a transceiver comprising a transmitter circuit having a transmit RF filter that passes a transmit band of frequencies that is partitioned into transmit frequency channels and a receiver circuit having a receiver RF filter that passes a receive band of frequencies that is partitioned into receiver frequency channels. Also included is an antenna coupled through a duplexer to an output of the transmitter circuit and to an input of the receiver circuit. The mobile station further includes circuitry, responsive to a currently selected RF channel, for compensating for a non-ideal operation of the RF filters and the duplexer over a full bandwidth range of the transmit and receive frequencies. The compensating circuitry compensates for RF filter operation in a transmit RF channel that is nearest to the band of receive RF frequencies and/or compensates for RF filter operation in a receive RF channel that is nearest to the band of transmit RF frequencies.
