  • Patent number: 11976992
    Abstract: A vacuum pressure sensor includes a vacuum-tight electrical feedthrough. The feedthrough has an electrically insulating insulator element with a through-opening, having a first boundary surface adjacent to the through-opening and a second boundary surface also adjacent to the through-opening and opposite to the first boundary surface, and an electrically conductive conductor element which extends through the through-opening and which is connected to the insulator element in a vacuum-tight manner along a circumferential line of the conductor element. The insulator element is transmissive to electromagnetic radiation in an optical wavelength range and the first boundary surface and/or the second boundary surface is formed as a curved surface.

  • Patent number: 9125460
    Abstract: A wristworn device having a releasable coupling mechanism for releasably coupling a first strap section and a second strap section about a user's wrist. The wristworn device includes an elongated member that is positioned within a channel of one of the strap sections and which has an actuation section that extends from the channel. A directional force upon the actuation section of the elongated member causes a slidable locking plate in the releasable coupling mechanism to move in a direction and disengage from a locking member, whereby separation of the sections of the releasable coupling mechanism is facilitated upon the disengagement of the slidable locking plate from the locking member.

  • Patent number: 6975596
    Abstract: A process for generating service function modules for a signalling server which can provide signalling functions for the control of communications connections, including the steps of: making available procedure modules for detecting, processing and forming signalling messages by a configuration server, displaying the procedure modules in the form of symbols by a user interface on the configuration server, detecting a selection and arrangement, predetermined by a user, of the symbols of the procedure modules at the user interface, combining the procedure modules to form a service function module in a manner predetermined by the selection and arrangement of the relevant symbols of the procedure modules at the user interface, and making available the service function module by the configuration server for the signalling server. A configuration server, a signalling server, a computer program and a storage medium therefore are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6947538
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and also to a service computer, a switching center, terminals, program modules and memory means with program modules for handling incoming telephone calls for a subscriber line (VA1) of a telecommunications network (PSTN) during an online data-network session blocking the subscriber line (VA1). In this process a terminal (TERA) sets up a connection (VA11, VA1, VPOP1) to an online data-network access device (POP) via the subscriber line (VA1). Thereupon the online data-network access device (POP) sends current access data to the terminal (TERA), which the terminal (TERA) signals to a service computer (SCP) of the telecommunications network.

  • Patent number: 6856675
    Abstract: A process for signalling cost information in a telecommunications network, wherein the subscriber's data terminal establishes a connection to an exchange, the exchange has a call handling function which makes a tariff inquiry to a tariff server and the tariff server sends a tariff response for the requested connection to the call handling function of the exchange. The call handling function forwards the tariff response to a CDR generating function in the exchange, the CDR generating function forwards cost information to the cost communication function of the exchange and the cost communication function communicates the cost information to the subscriber's data terminal.

  • Patent number: 6594285
    Abstract: A procedure for providing a telecommunication service. The service provisioning system (SDS) is equipped with a global service control point (GSCP1, GSCP2) and several service switching points (SSP1 to SSP3). Subscribers (A) of the telecommunication network (T_NET) send service request messages to service control functions, which control the implementation of the respective telecommunication service. The service provisioning system is also equipped with one or several local service control points (LSCP1 to LSCP4), whereby each of them is assigned to one of the service switching points (SSP1 to SSP3) and is connected via a local communication mechanism (L_NET1 to L_NET3). Depending on the telecommunication service being controlled, the service control function is installed globally or locally. The service switching point (SSP1 to SSP3) establishes whether the assigned service control function is currently installed locally or globally, and transfers the service request message accordingly.

  • Patent number: 6393116
    Abstract: A method for managing a subscriber's telecommunication service data stored in an exchange (EX1), as well as a server (SER) and an exchange (EX1) therefor. A data terminal (DT) of the subscriber sets up a connection to the exchange (EX1) via an online data network (ODN). The data terminal (DT) sends an access request from the subscriber to the exchange (EX1). The exchange (EX1) receives the access request. The exchange (EX1) and the data terminal (DT) interactively process the data, whereby the exchange (EX1) outputs the data to the data terminal (DT) and the data terminal (DT) sends the data to the exchange (EX1) at least if the data has been modified on the data terminal (DT). Finally, the exchange (EX1) stores the modified data, and the data terminal (DT) or the exchange (EX1) terminates the connection to the exchange (EX1) via the online data network (ODN).
