Abstract: A method is provided by a central-unit-control plane (CU-CP) of a network node for exchanging information with a central-unit user plane (CU-UP) of the network node to manage Quality of Service (QoS) flows for the optimization of radio resources. The method includes transmitting, to the CU-UP, a request for flow information for at least one QoS flow and receiving, from the CU-UP of the network node, the flow information for the at least one QoS flow. Based on the flow information for the at least one QoS flow, at least one action is taken.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antigenic composition capable of eliciting antibodies by interacting with &agr;&bgr; chains of a T cell receptor (TcR), which composition is comprised of a peptide-aldehyde conjugate. The aldehyde portion may be a dialdehyde, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), or a monoaldehyde, such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), while the peptide portion preferably comprises at least one lysine residue. The antigenic composition according to the invention is capable of recognizing and interacting with a TcR having a complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of &agr;10 and &bgr;6 chains that comprises a cluster of charged and polar amino acids. The invention also relates to a method of producing a vaccine against atherosclerosis by screening of a library of candidate compounds for their ability to bind to a conjugate of oxidized LDL and a dialdehyde as well as to such a vaccine as such.

Abstract: A telecommunications platform (20) has a cluster (32) of processors (30) which collectively perform a platform processing function. Plural processors of the cluster have Internet Protocol (IP) capabilities and respective plural IP interfaces (34). An Internet Protocol (IP) handler (60) distributed throughout the cluster facilitates applications executing on the plural processors comprising the cluster to be addressed using a same media access layer (MAC) address. That is, the Internet Protocol (IP) handler comprises a single IP stack (62) which is addressed with the same media access layer (MAC) address. The Internet Protocol (IP) handler comprises a media access control (MAC) bridge (70).

Abstract: The method and arrangement according to the present invention relate to communication networks using ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) connections for data transmission, particularly ATM-connections adapted for transmission of, e.g., IP-packets. Transmission of IP-packets via an IP-link in an ATM-based communication network is done by means of a link function block that is implemented between IP-level and ATM-level. Said function block includes means for selecting an operative ATM-connection, which is assigned to said IP-link, means for monitoring the operability of selected ATM-connections and means for reselecting a redundant ATM-connection if one of said assigned connections is detected to be inoperative.

Abstract: A trap for trapping and killing small animals such as rats and mice, is described. The trap comprises a stand, a pivoting clamp, journalled in the stand around a first axis. The clamp may be strained against the action of a spring which may be released by a releasing mechanism from a first, loaded position, when an animal acts upon the releasing mechanism. When released, the clamp immediately swings, acted upon by the spring, to a second position, where it hits and kills the animal. The clamp, extending from the first axis is provided with a first arm and a second arm. A first fastening point of the spring is provided at an end that is turned from the first axis of the first arm. The second fastening point of the spring is provided at the stand. The force line between the two fastening points of the spring runs through or in the vicinity of the first axis such that the spring exerts little or no or torque in the direction towards the second position of the clamp.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a resonator for at least two laser modes from an optically pumped laser medium, in which each laser mode is reflected between a highly-reflective mirror and an output mirror. The laser resonator feeds back and separates at least two longitudinal laser modes having a given stable frequency difference between the modes by the laser medium being adapted to emit the concerned number of laser modes which are arranged to pass a Fabry-Perot etalon at different angles.

Abstract: A capacitive detector is provided which includes an antenna for detecting small capacitive changes in an electric or electromagnetic field surrounding the antenna, and particularly to an alarm system which uses the capacitive detector to generate an alarm signal upon detection of capacitive changes in the generated electric or electromagnetic field. The detector is realized with an antenna connected to an electronic circuitry which generates an electric field around the antenna. The electronic circuitry generates an electric or electromagnetic field around the antenna, builds up a balanced electric field around the antenna, maintains the generated electric or electromagnetic field around the antenna balanced, prevents the detector device from being affected by changes in temperature and humidity, detects small changes in the generated electric field around the antenna, and indicates that a change in the generated electric field has occurred.

Abstract: Method of effecting zoning in wood with the aid of fungus cultures. The wood is pretreated by sterilizing it, setting a suitable moisture content and impregnating it. Impregnation with nutrients ensures that the fungi are sustained by the nutrients added and not by the wood. Special patterns can be achieved by using inhibitors.Pretreated wood is inoculated with one or more fungus cultures and stacked in sandwich fashion. An interlayer is inserted into the inoculated sandwich to produce the desired zoning pattern.Incubation is performed with controlled moisture contents and moisture gradients in the wood, as well as the composition of the gas phase, and may be carried out as a two-step process.The method is performed entirely or partially in a closed system.
