  • Patent number: 8194608
    Abstract: A mobile communications session is provided to a mobile node using an internet protocol. A home packet data network communicates with an affiliated mobile node. The home packet data network includes a home agent of the mobile node. A visited packet data network communicates with an affiliated mobile node. A packet data gateway controls the communication between the home and visited packet data networks. Following a change of affiliation from the home packet data network to the visited packet data network, the packet data gateway and the home agent establish a route to the mobile node via the packet data gateway, which controls communication between the home packet data network and the mobile node affiliated with the visited packet data network. If the mobile node roams between a 3GPP network and a non-3GPP network; the packet data gateway controls communication, using resources on the 3GPP network by the mobile node.

  • Patent number: 8184646
    Abstract: A telecommunications system includes a packet radio network comprising a core network and a radio network that communicate internet packets in accordance with a configuration of the core network and the radio network. The mobile node establishes a communications bearer for communicating across the mobile radio network, to generate a packet data connection activation request, including a service level identifier representing a priority of the mobile node and to communicate the packet data connection request to the core network. The core network establishes a communications bearer with the mobile node in accordance with the packet data connection request and to adapts the routing configuration and communications resources following a change of location of the mobile node with a priority determined by the service level identifier. Through inclusion of the service level identifier in the packet data connection request, relative priority is given to mobile nodes requiring higher priority data transmission.

  • Patent number: 8179888
    Abstract: A telecommunications system for communicating internet packet data in accordance with a first internet protocol (IPV6) via a packet radio network operable in accordance a second internet protocol (IPV4). The system comprises a user equipment operable to request a bearer for communicating internet protocol data according to the second internet protocol (IPV4) to and from a gateway support node of the packet radio network. The gateway support node is operable to establish a tunnelling protocol bearer for communicating the internet packet data to and from the user equipment across the packet radio network. The user equipment is operable in combination with the gateway support node to form an address which is compatible with the first internet protocol (IPv6). The address includes an interface identifier having a tunnel endpoint identifier of the tunnelling protocol bearer which ends at the gateway support node of the packet radio network.

  • Patent number: 8130091
    Abstract: A tire pressure detecting apparatus has a micro-controller, a detecting module and a transceiver. The detecting module is electronically connected to the micro-controller and has a tire pressure detecting unit controlled by the micro-controller to detect a tire pressure inside a tire. The transceiver is electronically connected to the micro-controller, transmits a high frequency signal corresponding to detected characteristic tire parameters from the detecting module to a monitoring system inside a car and receives an external high frequency signal sent from external tire pressure detecting apparatus for the micro-controller, with the micro-controller temporarily delaying sending of the high frequency signal until a waiting time has expired to prevent signal collision between the high frequency signal and the external high frequency signal.

  • Patent number: 8082841
    Abstract: A squeezing machine whose actual squeezing element is formed mainly of a cone or rotating head which, apart from the rotating movement, has upward or downward movement depending on the point in the squeezing operation, on which there is a set of blades in the form of fins in such a way that the fruit is deposited on said blades and when these are pushed by the rotating cone in its upward path exert pressure on the fruit, slicing this vertically and guiding it towards the cone for crushing the pulp, as the fruit cannot escape through being trapped in the recess inside a dome that may consist of two parts, one of them moving, in such a way that as it moves it leaves open a hole communicating the squeezing element with a bin containing the fruit to be squeezed, allowing in a fruit previously aligned with said hollow by means of a pulling system.

  • Patent number: 8032130
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling one or more characteristics of a service received by a mobile station in a mobile communications network across a radio communications link with a dynamically varying bandwidth. Bandwidth-sensing data packets are created for the purpose of determining changes in the bandwidth available across the link and transmissions of bandwidth-sensing data packets across the link are monitored. If timing information generated from the monitored transmissions indicates a change in the bandwidth, then one or more characteristics of the service received can be altered.
