  • Patent number: 10924488
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for customization of a mobile communications device's data session retry mechanism in a wireless packet data service network. The mobile communication device requests activation of a data session with a node via the wireless network and receives a reject message via the wireless network in response to the request for activation of the data session, the reject message including a cause code. If the cause code corresponds to a no-retry behavior of the data session retry mechanism of the mobile communication device, the mobile communications device no longer requesting activation of a data session with the node.

  • Publication number: 20200066828
    Abstract: A tiled display that includes a plurality of display tiles including addressable solid state light elements adapted to display at least a part of a static image or video frame on a front side; a support structure for supporting the plurality of display tiles, where in an operation state each display tile has a first shape and where the first and second opposed edges of each of the plurality of display tiles are fixed to the support structure. In a maintenance state at least one of the plurality of display tiles is released from the support structure at at least the first edge and the at least one of the plurality of display tiles then having a second shape modified compared to the first shape and providing an opening between the first edge and the support structure.

  • Publication number: 20200015157
    Abstract: A method of selecting a cellular network includes storing a location database in a memory of a mobile device, the location database providing location data for one or more locations each identified by a unique identifier, in response to recognizing the identifier, determining a current location of the mobile device by looking up the identifier in the database, prioritizing bands based on the current location to define a band priority, and selecting the cellular network based on the band priority.

  • Publication number: 20190275197
    Abstract: Methods for producing a fibrin matrix comprising a fusion peptide are described herein. In some embodiments, the method includes providing three different components, including a first component containing fibrinogen or a fibrinogen precursor and optionally, transglutaminase or a transglutaminase precursor, a second component containing thrombin or a thrombin precursor, and a third component containing a fusion peptide. In these embodiments, neither the first component nor the second component includes the fusion peptide. In some embodiments, the first or second components are premixed with the third component. The first, second and third components are mixed to form a fibrin matrix comprising a covalently linked fusion peptide. The mixing is carried out in a time frame of not more than 5 days. A kit for producing the fibrin matrix comprising a covalently linked fusion peptide is also described herein.

  • Patent number: 10402970
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for performing a model-based segmentation of a medical image which only partially shows an anatomical structure. In accordance therewith, a model is applied to the image data of the medical image, the model-based segmentation providing an adapted model having a first model part having been adapted to the first part of the anatomical structure in the medical image of the patient, and a second model part representing the second part of the anatomical structure not having been adapted to a corresponding part of the medical image. Metadata is generated which identifies the first model part to enable the first model part to be distinguished from the second model part in a further processing of the adapted model. Advantageously, the metadata can be used to generate an output image which visually indicates to the user which part of the model has been personalized and which part of the model has not been personalized.

  • Patent number: 10356708
    Abstract: A method of selecting a cellular network entails determining a current location of a mobile device by obtaining location data from an application on the mobile device, prioritizing cellular network frequency bands based on the current location to define a band priority, and selecting the cellular network based on the band priority. This method expedites selection of the cellular network when a mobile device is powered on, when its cellular radiofrequency transceiver is activated or when returning from an out-of-coverage area.

  • Patent number: 10321391
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for configuring network connections using memory are described. An example method for use in mobile equipment includes: reading a mobile subscriber identity from a memory device associated with the mobile equipment; determining if part or all of the mobile subscriber identity matches a data set entry within a file associated with the mobile equipment; determining if an elementary file is on the memory device; when the elementary file is on the memory device, determining if an access point name is stored in a location identified in the elementary file; and when the access point name is stored in the location identified in the elementary file, using the access point name to connect the mobile equipment to a mobile network. Other examples are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9790814
    Abstract: A mechanical system for a turbomachine includes a turbomachine part to be attached and a plurality of threaded attachment elements mounted on the turbomachine part in sequence along a line. The attachment elements fix the turbomachine part to the turbomachine. At least some of the attachment elements are arranged to be prevented from rotating by mutual cooperation about their corresponding thread axes, by a rotation prevention system provided on each of these attachment elements called self-locking elements. The self-locked elements cooperate in pairs, each pair including two directly consecutive self-locked elements along the line. At least one of the pairs has a distance between the thread axes of its two self-locked elements less than the distance between one of these two thread axes and the axis of either of the two attachment elements arranged along the line on each side of the at least one of the pairs.
