Publication number: 20050078642Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2003Publication date: April 14, 2005Inventors: Georg Mayer, Hisham Khartabil

Publication number: 20050060720Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2003Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventor: Georg Mayer

Publication number: 20050055687Abstract: A method and system of finding out about and downloading software updates to a terminal, in which the terminal sends a standardized subscribe request for software updates, and a server responds by sending an initial notify message back to the sending terminal only, the initial notify message having content defined by an event package. This system and method utilize an application layer protocol called Session Initiation Protocol, and the event package requires information as to software name, update server address, update retrieval protocol, and latest version. The terminal checks if it has the available software version, and if not then the terminal automatically downloads the update, or the user is given a choice whether to download and obtain the available software version. The terminal and other terminals subsequently receive a further type of notify message having content again defined by the event package, describing at least one newly available update.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2003Publication date: March 10, 2005Inventor: Georg Mayer

Patent number: 6823055Abstract: A method for implementing inter-node user mobility in a communication network which enables a user to perform an inter-node change between terminals of the communication network while retaining individual user settings. For this purpose, after the user has registered at a terminal coupled to a first network node, user-oriented configuration data are requested by a home network node or similar of the user, identified by the user, and are subsequently transmitted to the first network node. The latter then initiates a user configuration to be set for the user via the configuration data transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2002Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Georg Mayer, Rosa Santa, Klaus Wille

Patent number: 4918934Abstract: In a method for cooling rooms, the energy exchange between warm room air and cold air takes place through inherent convection of the air by means of a drop shaft arranged in the room, which has cooling surfaces in its upper part, at which the in-coming warm room air cools, and flows downwards owing to the specific weight difference. The cooled air leaves the drop shaft at the lower end in a laminar flow and then spreads in the room in an unbroken cool layer. The air leaving the drop shaft can also be deflected into a hollow floor. It is possible to use a fan to add to the cooled air current moved by gravity disturbing air, which then occasions turbulence.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1988Date of Patent: April 24, 1990Inventors: Georg Mayer, Friedrich H.
