  • Patent number: 7933211
    Abstract: An approach is provided for announcing a fault condition or failure in a network system. Announcement notifications are prioritized based on a priority information derived from at least two local parameters determined at a respective network element (NE1 to NEn). Thereby, fault correction activities can be optimized.

  • Publication number: 20070269556
    Abstract: In the method thickening and precipitable substances are mixed with the other sauce components resulting in a mixture reaching a predetermined viscosity by means of the precipitable substance. Then the mixture is frozen to at least ?10° C. and placed in a container which withstands deep-freezing and heating. The container must provide predetermined size of space at the bottom of the container for defrosting and thickening the mixture. In addition to the method, the invention comprises a sauce product utilizing the same principles, and a container for the sauce product.

  • Patent number: 6400939
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for limiting terminal equipment use of home subscribers of a network in a telecommunications system in which each subscriber has a subscriber identity and with each terminal equipment is associated an equipment identity. In the method, by which the operator can, if desired, supervise the terminal equipments used in the network by the home subscribers, a home equipment register is maintained about the terminal equipments allowed to the home subscribers of the network; a subscriber identity of the user is received from the terminal equipment; an equipment identity is received from the terminal equipment; on the basis of the subscriber identity it is checked whether the subscriber is a home subscriber of the network, and if so, the home equipment list of the network is checked to see whether the terminal equipment is an allowed one, and if the terminal equipment is not an allowed equipment, the use of the equipment is limited.
