Abstract: A mobile device has a memory, a socket and a controller. The socket is configured to receive a plug, and the controller is configured to detect that a plug is received in the socket; determine that a start point has been reached and in response thereto activate a safety application; and detect that the plug is removed from the socket, and, in response thereto, cause the safety application to activate an alarm.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for updating location information of mobile stations. A mobile station moves from an area controlled by a first mobile services switching center (MSC) to an area controlled by a second MSC. The mobile station then registers with the second MSC, and, in response, the mobile station is added to a second MSC database. The second MSC recalculates a second MSC checksum to include the newly registered mobile station. Next, the HLR sends an HLR checksum to the second MSC. The second MSC compares the HLR checksum and the second MSC checksum. If the checksums are equal, then the second MSC sends the location registration signal to the mobile station. If the checksums are unequal, then the second MSC sends an error signal to the HLR, and also sets the second MSC database equal to a previous correct database. Next, the HLR sends all logged erasures to the second MSC.

Abstract: An arrangement for handling banknotes comprises a magazine (13) containing a plurality of magazine pockets (18). Each pocket (18) has an infeed and outfeed opening (26) through which a banknote can be fed in into or fed out from the pocket (18). Furthermore, each pocket is provided with means (27) for releasably holding a banknote fed in into the pocket (18) within the same. The arrangement also comprises controllable driving means (16, 17), by means of which a selectable magazine pocket (18) can be placed with its opening (26) in front of an infeed and/or outfeed station (14, 15) located adjacent to the magazine (13), and feeding means (33) for controllably feeding in a banknote into or feeding out a banknote from a pocket (18) placed in front of said station (14, 15). Said feeding means consist of feeding means (33) provided at said station (14, 15).

Abstract: A system and method for encrypting transmissions between a plurality of communication nodes and a mobile station, wherein the algorithm for generating an encryption key resides within a first communications node. A second communications node requiring encryption between the node and a mobile station requests an encryption key from the first communications node through a PMAP interface interconnecting the nodes. The first node generates the encryption key and a countersign and transmits them back to the second communications node. The transmitted countersign is compared with a countersign provided by the mobile station, and if they match, transmissions from the second communications node to the mobile station are encrypted using the provided key.
