Abstract: A system for permitting the flexible handling of large amounts of structured data in files on smart cards and similar data storage units. The present invention introduces a new type of command which extracts relevant portions of structured information that is stored in files on smart cards and similar data units, instead of reading the complete data set and parsing it in the terminal. The present invention can also be applied to other, non-card storage media.

Abstract: The invention is an integrated circuit card for use in a communication terminal, the integrated circuit card including a controller, a memory, and a user-interface for communication with a controller of the communication terminal. The integrated circuit card controller controls a plurality of client application programs which are selectively activated for the user on the communication terminal.

Abstract: A handover is performed between cells of different networks during a call. A call established between handset (18) and mobile handset MS1 through cell CA1 or mobile network PLMN A is handover during the call to PLMN B through cell CB1. Procedures to control inter-PLMN handovers are described in which the service provider for PLMN A supports the inter-PLMN handover as a supplementary service. Support of the service may be indicated in a classmark stored in EEPROM (9) of handset MS1 or on its SIM card (12). The service provider for PLMN A may include data in the classmark that indicates whether the user of the handset may selectively accept or decline inter-PLMN handovers. A procedure for carrying out a location update after release of the call is also described.

Abstract: A mobile station such as a telephone handset (1) for a mobile radio telecommunications system, is operable in different, user selectable configurations for which radio transmissions are made with different frequencies or signal formats so that the user can roam from a home network (PLMN A) to a another network (PLMN B) which operates in a different configuration to the HPLMN. The handset (1) includes a controller (8) to cause a search to be made for transmissions corresponding to a plurality of the different configurations when a configuration for a roamed network has been selected by the user so as to enable the handset to find the HPLMN when returning to the network coverage area of the HPLMN.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for measuring the concentration of a fluid depending on the dielectric constant of the fluid, electric oscillations are supplied from a source through an impedance matching link to an antenna placed in the liquid within the confines of a Faraday cage, and the electric power reflected from the antenna towards the source is measured to determine deviations from ideal matching resulting from changes of the dielectric constant of the fluid. In an important embodiment, the measurement is used for the automatic programmed control of the supply of syrup in a sugar crystallization process in accordance with a predetermined program.
