  • Patent number: 7610038
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solution to the mobile terminal address management in the WLAN inter-working. By using the access control framework, the mobile terminal could obtain the address, and setup the tunnel together with the granting of service access. The management process would be shielded by the inherent encryption and protection of the access control process, and thus does not need extra security setup procedures to be performed. The invention also provides a method for the terminal to obtain address that binds to the session, using a fine grain service authorization procedure. The terminal could maintain multiple addresses when accessing multiple parallel sessions. The address management is also integrated with the policy control mechanisms. The policy control would provide means for the terminal and its home network to configure the WLAN when necessary after an address alternation.

  • Publication number: 20060111762
    Abstract: A device/system and method for the delivery of light to the nasopharyngeal cavity in a controlled and reproducible manner using at least one optical fiber having a linear diffusing tip, a spherical diffusing tip, or a bare cut end is disclosed. A positioning device may have one or two flexible guide tubes that are attached to a preformed shaped base that is introduced into the nasopharyngeal cavity to guide and position the optical fibers and/or detector(s). The optical fibers are enclosed within shielding tubes which are inserted into the guide tubes. The optical fibers may be further moved within the shielding tube so as to adjust the amount of output light. Also included within the guide tube is a light detector that monitors, detects, and measures the delivery of fluence rates to pre-determined locations in the nasopharyngeal cavity. The detector may also be enclosed within a separate tube within the guide tube.
