Publication number: 20210029577Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved quality of service treatment in the access networks. For example, certain communication systems may benefit from a dynamic varying of the quality of service level of a data flow. A method may include detecting a requested quality of service level requirement at a new data flow or an existing data flow at a network entity. The method may also include retrieving from a table a needed parameter linked to the requested quality of service level. In addition, the method can include using the needed parameter to create a new processing instance or to update an existing processing instance at the network entity. A method may further include updating the content of the table through separate signaling.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Jarmo Tapani Makinen, Andrea Cattoni

Publication number: 20200218147Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of nanoimprint lithography (NIL) processes and more specifically to a soft NIL process used for providing a sol-gel patterned layer on a substrate. Specifically, this process comprises a step of adjusting the solvent uptake of the sol-gel film to 10 to 50% vol., preferably between 15 and 40% vol., by varying the relative pressure of the solvent while a soft mould is applied onto the substrate coated with the sol-gel film.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2018Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: David GROSSO, Marco FAUSTINI, Olivier DALSTEIN, Andréa CATTONI, Thomas BOTTEIN
