  • Patent number: 11746453
    Abstract: An attachment (24) for a sewing machine (10) to provide simultaneous sewing and sealing of a seam comprises a reel (23) for dispensing a strip of adhesive thermoplastic polymer (25) between fabric members (7,9) to be sewn. A plurality of heated driven rollers (40, 42, 44) opposed to heated idler rollers (50) having a continuous belt (52) thereover collectively exert heat and pressure on the seam, melting the polymer strip (25) so as to seal the seam. Thread (17) having been treated with adhesive thermoplastic polymer may be employed to seal the punctures in the fabric made by the sewing machine's needle (19). The driven rollers are driven in synchronization with the operation of the sewing machine and are engaged with and withdrawn from the seam responsive to operator command.

  • Patent number: 11240199
    Abstract: A method for operating a session control entity configured to control a data packet session of a user in a cellular network. A policy request is transmitted to a policy control entity of the cellular network requesting at least one policy rule for the data packet session. A policy response is received including the at least one policy rule for the data packet session and including a request to provide information about an address translation carried out in a user plane on the data packets of the data packet session. Rules for handling the data packet session are transmitted to a user plane entity configured to handle the user plane of the data packet session. The rules include a translation detection rule by which the user plane entity is requested to inform the session control entity about the address translation that has taken place in the user plane.

  • Patent number: 10306510
    Abstract: There is provided bandwidth limitation of a connectivity service for a user equipment with respect to an access point name (APN) served by a packet data gateway (PGW) in a communications network. The PGW receives a request to separate bandwidth limitation with respect to the APN for a connectivity service and a specific service delivered over the connectivity service. The PGW enforces a first bandwidth limitation on the connectivity service. The PGW enforces a second bandwidth limitation on the specific service.

  • Patent number: 9872184
    Abstract: In scenarios where the quality of service is negotiated through a signalling layer whereas the services are actually carried through a bearer layer, application functions at the signalling layer are not always aware of how quality of service is individually accomplished at the bearer layer on a service basis. The invention provides a method and devices whereby events are detected on a service data flow basis at a detection device in the bearer layer and notified towards an application device in the signalling layer via a control device between the signalling and the bearer layer. The list of events to be notified is obtainable at the control device from the application device and is included in Quality of Service related rules, along with service data flow filters. This Quality of Service related rules are provided to the detection device for inspecting individual service data flows in order to detect and notify the indicated events.

  • Patent number: 9641348
    Abstract: Example embodiments are presented herein service session management based on service specific data and a user subscription. Some example embodiments may comprise a user equipment, and corresponding method therein, for monitoring an internet or network access by an identified application. Upon detection, the user equipment may be configured to send service specific data associated with the identified application to an enhanced application server. The enhanced application server may manage a service session based on the service specific data and the user subscription. The management of the service session may allow for a differentiated delivery of service for certain applications.

  • Patent number: 9444747
    Abstract: An application executing on a device communicates packet data with a server via an operating system (OS) on the device. The device receives information concerning a port mapping policy that specifies a plurality of applications. For each application, a predetermined assignable port space is defined within which an application specific port can be assigned. When the application is started, an OS specific port is assigned to the application. Additionally, an application specific port for the OS specific port is assigned in accordance with the port mapping policy. The device then translates data packets to be transmitted by the application, such that for a given OS specific source port, the device replaces the OS specific source port field of the packets to be transmitted with the assigned application specific port. The device then transmits the translated data packets with the assigned application specific source port.
