Abstract: A method of sending an information package from a first data network to at least one second data network through a communications network, in particular a SDH or SONET network, comprises a first plurality of access points, a second plurality of MPLS switches, a third plurality of paths defined from each of the access points to an Ethernet switch including MPLS switching capabilities via at least one of the MPLS switches, and a fourth plurality of paths defined from the Ethernet switch including MPLS switching capabilities to each of the access points via at least one of the MPLS switches. The method further comprises receiving the information package at a specific access point and adding a header including a MPLS label to the information package. The information package including the header is sent to the Ethernet switch including MPLS switching capabilities via a path of the third plurality.

Abstract: A method of sending an information package from a first to a second data network employs a communications network including a plurality of access points, a plurality of MPLS switches, a plurality of paths defined from each access point to an Ethernet switch including MPLS switching capabilities via at least one of the MPLS switches, and a plurality of paths from the Ethernet switch to each access point via an MPLS switch. The information package is received at an access point, and a header including a MPLS label is added to it. The information package including the header is sent to the Ethernet switch via a path from an access point. Switching and sending the information package to a further access point corresponding to the second data network removes the header from the information package, and sends the information package from the further access point to the second data network.

Abstract: In a method for detecting the state of dialling a codenumber a number already dialled digits (Nx) is counted and is compared with a defined number of digits to be dialled. If this number is reached, a timer (Tx) is started and during the runtime of the timer it is detected whether further digits are dialled. If further digits are dialled the timer is restated at every detection. If no further digit is detected, after time out of the timer a query is launched. Alternatively after launching a first query it is possible to analyse the already dialled number of digits and to define a number of digits to be dialled. If then this number is reached a timer is started and the further method is processed.

Abstract: In order to permit easy and hygienic disposal of e.g. sanitary towels in a cloakroom, a bag retainer can be fitted on the wall, and a bag (4) can be hung on the retainer. The retainer comprises a traversing resilient carrier rail (3) on which a bag is hung (4) which is provided with a flap (5) at its mouth and which is downwardly open and designed to fit the reception of the carrier rail (3). The flap (5) and the carrier rail (3) have sloping side edges (7, 8) and are dimensioned so as to allow the bag to slide further down over the carrier rail (3) once the bag is stretched lengthwise with a view to keeping the rim stretched and the bag closed.When the mouth of the bag is to be opened, one pulls out the uttermost part of the mouth, and when the bag is to be closed, one lets go of the mouth part whereby the resilient carrier rail will close the mouth of the bag.

Abstract: A tubular compact (14) obtained by compacting a powder is applied with one circumferential surface (16) at a minimum distance required for said application, from an abutment surface (15) corresponding to said one circumferential surface (16). The space between said one circumferential surface (16) and the abutment surface (15) is evacuated, such that the compact (14), while undergoing a certain deformation to bridge said space, is sucked against the abutment surface (15) so as to be firmly retained against it.

Abstract: In order to store liquid in a foil bag with no risk that liquid leaks from the bag, the bag is provided with a valve in the inlet channel (5). The valve consists of two valve flaps (8) formed by the foil by folding and at their sides being welded together in a weld seam (2) for the formation of the channel (5) extending from the outside to the inside of the bag. The weld seam (2) is at its center provided with a further welding in the shape of an extension (3) forming a narrowing in the cross section of the channel (5). When liquid is poured into the bag liquid will also flow into the hollow space between the outer foil (1) and the flap (8). Water will hereby distend these closed hollow spaces (7) and thereby press the flaps (8) against each other. This means that no liquid will escape through the flaps, and due to the narrowing in the channel the pressure creating the closure will be greatest opposite the narrowings (3 ).

Abstract: In a dental apparatus, in which each of a number of instruments is controlled by a control circuit common to the instruments, which are connected with a common operator unit having a control member which is movable in planar directions out of a home position, auxiliary functions not related to the instrument operation may be carried out by means of the common operator unit by switching the apparatus to a second mode of operation, when all the instruments assume respective resting positions in an instrument carrier. Moreover, also auxiliary functions directly related to the instrument operation may be carried out by the common operator unit in a first mode of operation by actuating the control member thereof with a movement different from the instrument energizing movement. The movement for energizing such an auxiliary function may have another direction and/or a shorter duration than the instrument energizing movement.
