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.

Also disclosed is a method in an application server, including receiving, from a first communication device, an indication that a communication session between the first communication device and a second communication device is to be split into a packet switched part and a circuit switched part, waiting for to receive transfer requests of both the packet switched part and the circuit switched part, and informing the second communication device of the split.

Abstract: An apparatus and method initiates a conference call in a telecommunication system. A call set up message is sent by a user's equipment, a message header indicating the equipment's own public identity as the call recipient and a tag indicating that the user equipment only accepts a conference call server as the recipient of the message. A network element configured to process messages from the user equipment receives the message and redirects the message to a conference call server on the basis of the header fields of the message. The conference call server detects that the message is a conference call set up message on the basis of the header fields of the message, and establishes a conference call.

Receiving at the first network element a first message from the user equipment. Transmitting the first message from the first network element to the serving network element. Detecting at the first network element that the serving network element is out of service. Determining at the first network element the type of the first message, and in dependence on the type of the first message sending from the first network element to the user equipment an error message including an indication that the serving network element is out of service.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for releasing sessions via network entities associated with the session, where the network entities include at least session endpoints and intermediary network entities. Network entities are subscribed to intermediary network entities serving as notifiers. Upon releasing the communication session at a first notifier, a session release notification is initiated from the first notifier to its respective subscriber. The session release notification is logically advanced towards a remote one of the session endpoints via the intermediary network entities. The communication session is terminated at each of the network entities receiving the session release notification.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for routing communication requests based on user presence information. A network entity subscribes to the presence information of a user, and receives notifications of the users' presence information when the user has registered with the network or the presence information has changed. In response, the network entity creates routing instructions based on the presence information. In this manner, incoming communication requests can be appropriately routed according to the routing instructions.

Abstract: A system and method for enforcing policies for session-mode messaging between two or more communication devices. A policy is imposed by a signaling-level session control element on a communication device to establish a bearer-level binding between the communication device and bearer-level relay. A state of the bearer-level binding is determined, which is provided to the signaling-level session control element. The signaling-level session control element allows or disallows the first communication device to engage in the session-mode messaging based on the state of the bearer-level binding.

Abstract: A private communications network and method of private communications network operation. One or more communications servers each have connected communications devices. From communications devices users enter called party numbers that may include a carrier access code (CAC) and carrier identification code (CIC). The called party number is checked for a CAC and any identified CAC/CIC is parsed from the called party number. The parsed called party number and the CAC/CIC are passed independently of each other over a private network to a public network gateway server. The public network gateway server directs the parsed called party number to a carrier network identified by the CIC, connecting the user to the called party.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and network device for processing a routing information in a packet data network. 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. The first-network entries 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 said 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.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for routing communication requests based on user presence information. A network entity subscribes to the presence information of a user, and receives notifications of the users' presence information when the user has registered with the network or the presence information has changed. In response, the network entity creates routing instructions based on the presence information. In this manner, incoming communication requests can be appropriately routed according to the routing instructions.

Abstract: A method (and corresponding equipment) by which a UE device (10) begins compressing messages it transmits to an SIP outbound proxy server (12) as SIP signals, including: a step (22a) in which the UE device sends a request message (22a 32a 42a) to the SIP outbound proxy server (12); and a step (23 33 43) in which the UE device analyzes a response message (22b 32b 42b) received from the SIP outbound proxy server (12) in response to the request message (22a 32a 42a) to determine a compression parameter. The request message (22a) may be an options request message and the response message (22b) would then be e.g. a 200 OK message. Alternatively, the request message (32a) may be a register message, and the response message (32b) would then be e.g. a 401 (unauthorized) message. In another embodiment, the response message (42b) is any compressed message.
