  • Publication number: 20230189216
    Abstract: A method for maintaining a tracking area list, TAL, associated with a first wireless device, WD, in a network having network nodes organized into tracking areas, TA, and arranged to page the first WD. The method includes obtaining data associated with a transition pattern of WDs between TAs in the network, the data being indicative of transition probabilities for WDs moving between the TAs, receiving a message indicating that the first WD is leaving a TA and is entering a current TA, and maintaining the TAL by adding the current TA to the TAL and selecting TAs neighboring the current TA for addition to the TAL based on the transition probabilities of a wireless device moving from the current TA and into neighboring TAs, a neighboring TA associated with high transition probability is selected for addition to the TAL before a neighboring TA associated with low transition probability.

  • Publication number: 20080181731
    Abstract: A tool intended for chip removing machining is disclosed. The tool is of the type that has a basic body and an indexable cutting insert that can be connected to the basic body via an interface including a primary connecting surface in the basic body and a secondary connecting surface in the cutting insert. Among two cooperating support flanks included in the connecting surface of the basic body, one is situated on a level above the other in order to form a lateral support for the cutting insert. In the connecting surface of the cutting insert, contact flanks are included that, together with the clearance surface of the cutting insert, form a V-shapedly converging wedge part that can be applied in a seat delimited by the support flanks, the contact flank being urged against the low-positioned support flank of the basic body, while an upper part of the clearance surface of the cutting insert is urged against the high-positioned support flank.

  • Patent number: 6757065
    Abstract: Method of determining a surface illuminated by incident light. First the intensity (I1(x,y)) of light reflected from the surface is recorded in a first image of the surface. After this, the intensity (I2(x,y)) of light reflected from the surface is recorded in a second image of the surface, taken at a different angle of illumination. Only the diffusely reflected light is recorded. The difference between the recorded intensities of the first and the second images is determined to obtain a representation that emphasizes variations in gradient of the surface. This representation is further processed by signal-adapted integration to a topographic description, that is, a height function of the surface.

  • Patent number: 5799506
    Abstract: A method of chilling, cooling or likewise refrigerating a product with the aid of the cold content of a condensed gas, wherein the product, preferably in a gas or liquid state, is caused to pass at least one product-cooling heat-exchanger. According to the invention, the condensed gas is vaporized in at least one evaporation heat-exchanger and the vaporized gas is delivered to the product-cooling heat-exchanger for cooling the product therein. The gas heated by the product in the product-cooling heat-exchanger is then returned to the evaporation heat-exchanger for vaporization of the condensed gas therein. The invention also relates to an arrangement for use in carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 5528988
    Abstract: The invention relates to shot pellets for hunting wild game, particularly birds on wet marshlands. The pellets are also suitable for clay pigeon shooting on organized skeet ranges. The shot pellets have an inner core comprised of lead or lead alloy, and an outer layer of silver or silver alloy. The shot pellets are not influenced, or only slightly influenced by a strong hydrochloric acid environment, therewith greatly eliminating the risk of lead leaching from the pellets. The shot pellets are produced by coating shot pellet cores of lead or lead alloy electrochemically with at least one layer, wherein the outermost layer is always comprised of silver or a silver alloy.

  • Patent number: 5053097
    Abstract: A method of joining tubes (A and B) having a corrugated wall (10) of fusible plastic material and terminating at a cut through a corrugation rib, comprises the following steps. An annular body (14) expanding when energy is supplied to it, is positioned in an annular space (13) formed by the corrugation ribs at the end of one tube (A) and an inner boundary which can be formed by an inner wall (11) of fusible plastic material, integral with the corrugated wall of said one tube, or by a sleeve inserted into the adjacent ends of the tubes, also of fusible material. The tube ends are put together to close said space by the end of the other tube (13), and a radial and axial support (19) for the corrugation ribs is arranged on the outside of the tubes. Then, the annular body is expanded by heating to fuse said body to the walls of the tubes and the sleeve, respectively.
