Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of and system for monitoring the state of a device that includes a rotatable component. The system includes a structure-borne noise meter and an evaluation device. The evaluation device ascertains a time range feature for a frequency band, compares the time range feature with at least one threshold to determine a time range feature state, and determines the state of the device based on the time range feature state.

Abstract: A system and method for providing fluent interaction between connectivity applications, personal information management applications and navigation applications. The present invention enables a user to launch navigation application directly from a “Contacts” application. This invention also enables the same result to be achieved in reverse, enabling direct access from a navigation application to contact information, eliminating the need for the user to manually access and enter information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to data communication systems. In the disclosed method a data channel is first activated between a first and a second station. A timer function is started so as to control the state of the data channel. The data channel is maintained in a ready state at least until the timer function indicates an expiry of a predefined period. The arrangement is such that after a data transmission is initiated on the data channel the state of the data channel is prevented to be changed from the ready state to another state based on the timer function. The change is allowed only after a predefined event occurs. The system may be provided with a further timer that is implemented in a lower function layer than said timer function.
