Abstract: A method and an arrangement for providing resource data for at least one resource to a watching client. A subscription request for resource data regarding a resource sent from a watching client is received (700) by a notification server, the subscription request comprising a reference to notification rule being pre-configured in a database for the watching client. The delivery of notifications to the watching client is controlled (710) based on the reference. Supplementing the subscription requests with a reference to pre-configured notification rules regarding the observed resource(s) instead of the actual notification rules, reduces the amount of information being transferred with plural subscription requests for a watching client.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for providing an electronic gear shift selector associated with an automatic mechanical transmission for a heavy vehicle. The gear shift selector includes a toggle switch for asserting at least one gear shift request, a counter receiving the at least one gear shift request, and a time delay for preventing communication of the at least one gear shift request from the counter until a predefined time period has passed. A method for communicating a collective gear shift request to a gear box includes asserting one or more gear shift requests with a gear shift selector, communicating the gear shift requests to a counter, determining the collective gear shift requests occurring within a predefined time period, communicating the gear shift requests occurring within the predefined time period to a gearbox.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for providing information to a client from a client access network regarding a requested set of users, at least some of which are connected to other access networks. In response to a client subscription request, the client access network establishes a network subscription with the other access networks. Information updates regarding users in the set are then continuously received and stored in a database of the client access network, whenever the users change their state. In response to a subsequent request for user information from the client, corresponding stored user information is retrieved from the database and sent in a notification to the client.

Abstract: A method of managing a subscription request at a originating network node of a first network operator is provided, where a subscription request originating from, or on behalf of a user being a subscriber of the first network operator is provided with user context that is specifying an agreement between the first network operator and the subscriber. The subscription request is then transmitted to a terminating network node of a second network operator, with which the first network operator has established an interoperability agreement. The described procedure enables the second network operator to authorize the subscription request taking the user context into consideration, such that the interoperability agreement between the two network operators is applied for the subscriber also by the second network operator.

Abstract: An implantable heart stimulating device has an ECG sensing unit to receive heart potential signals from sensing electrodes at an electrode lead arranged in connection with a patient's heart. The ECG sensing unit is provided with a programmable make-break threshold. The device further has a timer adapted to generate a make-break detection period, and a counter. The counter is adapted to count the number of times that the amplitude of the heart potential signal exceeds the programmable make-break threshold during the make-break detection period. When the number of times is higher than a predetermined value, the ECG obtained during the make-break detection period is stored in an ECG storage unit.

Abstract: A method in a presence. server of providing presence information associated with Presentity to a Watcher, having a Watcher Client, comprising an XDM Client. The Presence Server receives a request from the XDM client and identifies the Watcher on the basis of content of the request. On the basis of the request and the identity of the Watcher, the Presence Server generates a document from presence information that has previously been defined as an XCAP application usage and stored at the presence server. The document is then forwarded to the Watcher.

Abstract: An arrangement and method for reducing memory usage for communications between servers in a communication network utilizing the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) by controlling establishment of SIP dialogues. A single SIP dialogue for a certain event package is utilized for multiple subscriptions between one instance of a requesting server such as a Resource List Server (RLS) and one instance of an Application Server such as, for example, a Presence Server. The SIP dialogue is then used to send all SIP NOTIFY messages between these two entities to reduce memory usage at both ends by removing the overhead created by SIP.

Abstract: An implantable medical lead has at least one electric conductor running along a lead body and electrically interconnecting at least one electrode at the distal portion of the lead with at least one lead terminal at the proximal portion of the lead. The lead also has at least one closed channel running along at least a portion of the lead body. The closed channel contains an extracorporeally detectable detection substance. A rupture to the lead will cause the detection substance to leak out of the channel and outside of the lead body. Lead damage can be confirmed by the absence of or a reduced amount of said detection substance inside the lead.

Abstract: A method and arrangement in a notification server (300) for controlling notifications with resource data to a subscribing client (A). When a subscription request is received (3:1) from the client for notifications with selected resource data of one or more resources, the access network currently used by the client is determined based on network related information, e.g. obtained from the received subscription request. The delivery of notifications (3:5) is then controlled based on the determined current network.

Abstract: Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for reducing the amount of data stored in a network. This can occur by reducing the quantity of personal contact cards associated with an individual that are stored within a network by replacing the quantity of stored copies with links to the single copy on the network.

Abstract: Personalized advertisements may be provided from a service node to a user, parallel to executing a request from the user device. At the service node, advertisement information may be selected, according to predefined advertisement rules and the applications which are available at the user device, and attached to a response message, sent to the user device in response to the received request. At the user device, the advertisement information is retrieved, structured and stored. A change of state of an application of the user device will initiate an interrogation of the advertisement information, which will result in performing a presentation of an advertisement on the user information, in case such instructions exists. An advertising method, a user device and a service node adapted to execute the suggested method are described.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of authorising provision of in-directed content to a user of an IPcommunications network. The in-directed content is associated with a presentity subscriber of a presence service, the presence service including authorisation rules regarding users to which the in-directed content may be provided. The in-directed content is stored at a content server that is not controlled by the presence service. The method includes receiving at an authorisation proxy in the network a request from the user to be provided with the in-directed content, and identifying the presentity subscriber associated with the requested in-directed content. The authorisation proxy retrieves the authorisation rules to verify that the user is authorised to receive the in-directed content. Subject to the verification, the in-directed content is provided from the content server the user.
