  • Patent number: 9123837
    Abstract: A semiconductor radiation detector includes a bulk layer of semiconductor material. On a first side of said bulk layer is an arrangement of field electrodes and a collection electrode for collecting radiation-induced signal charges from said bulk layer. A radiation shield exists on a second side of said bulk layer, opposite to said first side, which radiation shield selectively overlaps the location of said collection electrode.

  • Publication number: 20150244874
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the teachings herein, one or more messages are sent within or from an IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, network, to indicate the communication failure of an IMS node supporting a given IMS call session. Advantageously, the one or more messages includes a detection time of the communication failure—e.g., a timestamp—that provides a precision or resolution suitable for adapting a Charging Data Record, CDR, for the affected IMS call session. For example, charges for a portion of the IMS call session are adapted according to the detection time. More broadly, messages indicating the communication failure indication and the corresponding detection time may be exchanged between IMS nodes, e.g., to prompt session termination(s) and/or may be sent to online or offline charging or billing systems, to prevent over-charging.

  • Publication number: 20140222352
    Abstract: A method for detecting a fault in a robot joint includes the steps of: performing a first torque measurement at the robot joint to thereby obtain a first set of torque values; calculating a first distribution characteristic reflecting a distribution of the first set of torque values; performing a second torque measurement at the robot joint to thereby obtain a second set of torque values; calculating a second distribution characteristic reflecting a distribution of the second set of torque values; and comparing the first and the second distribution characteristics to determine whether a fault is present or not. A difference in the distributions of torque measurements is a robust fault indicator that makes use of the repetitive behavior of the system.

  • Patent number: 8787162
    Abstract: A user terminal may include an IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, client to enable the terminal to communicate with an IMS network. The IMS client may include a conference creation and control unit configured to create and control an IMS conference involving one or more participants, participants being identified within a conference INVITE or REFER message by respective Uniform Resource Identifiers, URIs, within a URI list. The conference creation and control unit may include a response handling unit configured to receive from the IMS network, in response to the sending of an INVITE or REFER, a SIP response message including an XML body specifying an Outgoing Communication Barring, OCB, service invocation result and configured to present the specified result to a terminal user. Related methods and application servers are also discussed.

  • Publication number: 20130100863
    Abstract: The present invention concern methods and apparatuses for transporting and using time zone information in an internet protocol multimedia subsystem, IMS, network. When a call session control function, CSCF, node receives a request message related to a user equipment, UE, the CSCF node retrieves and stores time zone information associated with the UE. The time zone information is sent by the CSCF node to at least one other IMS network node, which is then able to support time zone based services and/or charging associated with the UE. The CSCF node may optionally create an Attribute Value Pair, AVP, including the stored time zone information and send a charging message including the AVP to a charging node, to enable usage of the time zone information in charging.
