Abstract: Sports shoe with a striped pattern facilitating ball handling, having an upper and a sole, wherein the surface of the upper of the sports shoe is divided into a plurality of shooting zones, namely at least into a nose zone (14), an inner shooting zone (15) and an outer shooting zone (16) and at least one of the shooting zones (14, 15, 16) comprises a plurality of ball directing stripes (20) arranged side-by-side beside and being spaced from each other and the directing stripes extend out from the surface of the upper that constitutes a basic surface (17), the directing stripes (20) have elevated outer surfaces (18) with increased grip to the ball compared to the grip of the basic surface (17), wherein the spaces between said directing stripes (20) constitute respective ball directing channels (21) and the at least one shooting zone comprises a group of at least four directing stripes (20) and a group of at least three directing channels (21) between the directing stripes, and out of these two groups the width

Abstract: A method and system for large data transfer between a sender and a receiver. The sender transmits to the receiver a plurality of data packets in sequence. The time elapsed for each of the plurality of data packets after transmission of said each of the plurality of data packets is determined. The receiver transmits a message from the receiver to the sender notifying the sender that an identified one of the plurality of the data packets is missing. The sender retransmits to the receiver the identified one of the plurality of data packets only when the elapsed time determined for the identified one of the plurality of the data packets is greater than a predetermined time interval.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of carrying out a transaction involving transmission of data over a link between and a mobile terminal and a gateway. The data is in the form of a plurality of data messages wherein each message comprises at least one data packet. The number of messages is not predetermined. The method comprising the steps of: the mobile terminal acknowledging receipt of data packets so as to provide a reliable connection; the gateway notifying the receiver of the last data packet in each data message; and the sender notifying the receiver of the last data message. The invention is particularly applicable to transactions carried out according to the Wireless Transaction Protocol.
