Abstract: There is proposed a method and corresponding apparatuses allowing a change from a packet switched communication domain to a circuit switched communication domain. When a user equipment as a connection terminating point receives a connection initialization message with a media flow, such as audio, which cannot be delivered by the packet switched access, it sends a specific response rejecting the connection via the packet switched access to an application server for service centralization and continuity. In the application server, it is checked whether several conditions are met in order to determine whether the communication connection comprising the media flow is allowed to be changed to the circuit switched domain. If yes, the communication connection is changed from the packet switched communication domain to the circuit switched communication domain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hiding a device identifier (IMEI) in a communication system. Identifying a device is done by indicating an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) as an instance identifier of the device of a user. Generating a globally routable user agent uniform resource identifier (GRUU) for the user is done by encrypting the instance identifier so that the GRUU comprises an identity of the user and the encrypted instance identifier.

Abstract: A simplified evaluation of messages that control connection setup is made possible by a method for filtering (4) incoming messages (3) at a connection controlling element (5) of a telecommunications network (13, 14, 5) on the basis of predetermined filtering conditions (8).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and terminal device for handling a suspended network state, wherein the end of a suspended network state is detected and subscription to a state event package is initiated in response to the detected end of suspension. Based on information given in a response to the subscription, registrations of user identities are updated. Thereby, the registration state of the user and the user's identities can always be kept actual, even after a suspension of the network connection.

Abstract: The routing information is extracted from a received message at a border between a first network and a second network, and at least one invalid entry is added to first-network entries of the routing information which relate to a routing path of the message within the first network. The at least one invalid entry and the first-network entries are encrypted by using an own token at least for each of the first-network entries. As an alternative, a tokenized second-network entry extracted from the routing information and relating to the routing path of the message within the second network is decrypted, and its content is reversed. In both cases, the routing information is replaced by the processed routing information and the message is forwarded to the second network. This allows to preserve the order of routing entries and to hide the amount of switches that have been traversed in the home network.

The processor may be configured to receive an indication of a signaling message including at least a partially dialed number, determine whether the dialed number is an incomplete number or a complete number associated with a user identity of a terminating user, forward, in response to a determination that the dialed number is the complete number, the signaling message to a call session control function associated with a location of the terminating user, and delay forwarding of the signaling message until the dialed number is the complete number in response to a determination that the dialed number is the incomplete number. A method and computer program product for providing routing of message signaling is also provided.

Abstract: A coating apparatus (10) includes a chamber (12) defining a cavity (16), a diffuser (20), a vacuum valve (26), a burst valve (28), and a vacuum pump (30). In use, the chamber (12) is heated before a batch of lenses (46) to be coated are placed within the cavity (16) together with a tablet (42) impregnated with a coating substance. Air is then pumped from the cavity (16) until the pressure has been lowered to between 1×10-3 to 1×10-1 mbar (absolute pressure). The source tablet (42) is then heated by heater (38) to release a coating substance in vapour form. The burst valve (28) is then opened intermittently to allow small bursts of air to flow into the cavity (16). The diffuser (20) imparts swirling movement to the air burst as it enters the cavity (16), so that the air swirls around within the cavity thereby causing the vapour of the coating substance to be evenly distributed within the cavity and condense evenly on the lenses (46).

Abstract: A method is presented for a user to receive an alarm about a pending calendar event, or an overdue to-do, from an electronic calendar system that serves the user. The user accesses a network that connects the user terminal to a calendar system. The user sends a subscribe request for alarms, and then the user receives a notification in response to the subscribe request, to notify the user about at least one alarm that was already triggered before the user accessed the network. This way, the user will obtain alarms that were triggered while the user was inaccessible, instead of missing the alarms altogether. This system includes a user terminal for accessing the network and sending a subscribe request signal, as well as a calendaring unit that is responsive to the subscribe request signal, and is for providing to the user terminal a notification signal indicating alarms that were already triggered before the network was accessed by the user terminal.
