Abstract: Sealing device for the flap track for the flap-actuating shaft, in the belly fairing of an aircraft, with a top hollow body 1 and a bottom hollow body 7 which are flexibly compressible, each comprising at least one interior chamber 2, 8 with open sides 2a, 2b, a wall 3, 9 with respective external contact surfaces 3a which are in flexible contact with each other, the outer surfaces 4a, 10a of the front walls 4, 10 of the hollow bodies 1, 7 jointly forming an outer sealing surface 11 which covers the flap track 19, said hollow bodies 1,7 having jointly a vertical compression flexibility such that the contact surfaces 3a, 9a retract around the actuating shaft 20, the interior chambers 2, 8 extending between the front walls 4, 10 and rear walls 5, 11 of the hollow bodies 2, 7.

Abstract: In an evolved radio access network (RAN) architecture user planes (UP) and the control planes (CP) are separated into different network elements. This concept is improved by further splitting the control plane (CP) in mobile specific control functions and area specific (cell and multi-cell) control functions, the proposed method comprising the steps of processing paging and broadcast functional tasks on the control plane of at least one of the radio network controlling elements resulting from this split, processing mobile control functional tasks on the control plane of at least one other radio network controlling element resulting from the split, processing the paging and broadcast functional tasks in a first and a second logical block, the first logical block performing paging tasks which are related to core network defined areas and the second logical block performing paging tasks for radio access network defined areas.
