  • Publication number: 20140044049
    Abstract: The invention relates to a telecommunications network for wirelessly establishing a connection with a terminal located at a location in said network by a server. The terminal is identified by a terminal identifier in the telecommunications network. The telecommunications network contains a first network node and a second network node. The first network node is configured for receiving a data unit for the terminal from the server, that is preferably located outside the telecommunications network. The data unit comprises the terminal identifier. The first network node is being configured for receiving a location identifier indicative of the location of the terminal from the server and for deriving an address of the second network node using the location identifier. The derived address of the second network node is then used for transmitting a first connection request for establishing a connection with the derived second network node.

  • Patent number: 7395350
    Abstract: Control system for a communications network, wherein the control system contains network-control means and information-processing means. Through the quality-control means, a user may set a desired quality (UQS). Additionally, the quality-control means measures quality delivered (UQS?) by the information-processing means and compares the two qualities, UQS and UQS?. By reference to a calculated comparison result, parameters are passed on to the network-control means in order to minimize a difference between the desired and delivered qualities. The quality-control means may comprise one or more user agents which may be set through the information-processing means and the communications network.

  • Patent number: 6252381
    Abstract: A method is described for regulating a generator, in particular a three-phase generator which has an excitation coil through which the regulatable excitation current (IE) used to generate the excitation field flows, and has stator coils in which currents are produced that are conveyed to the consumers via pulse inverters. By controlling the pulse inverters, the stator current can be impressed with respect to value and phase in relation to the excitation current so that the output power of the generator is optimized in the required speed range.

  • Patent number: 6111386
    Abstract: A method for controlling an asynchronous machine which is operated below a cutoff frequency in the base speed region with variable magnetization current and above a cutoff frequency in a field control speed region is provided. The maximum possible fundamental oscillation of a stator voltage is determined from a existing intermediate circuit voltage or battery voltage and a stator current is defined as a setpoint and impressed onto the asynchronous machine. A calculation is made of a rotor frequency needed, with that definition of the stator voltage to impress the current setpoint. A rotor frequency which corresponds to the current setpoint is compared via a control characteristic curve to the calculated rotor frequency and that rotor frequency value which is the greater of the two is used to determine the current setpoint. The method is advantageously performed with a microprocessor, with which the calculation algorithm may be executed rapidly, effectively, and contemporaneously.

  • Patent number: 4486204
    Abstract: A filter casing for an air conditioning system includes exterior walls (1, 2, 2', 3 and 4) together with a front cover which comprises a plurality of doors (34, 35, 36, 37 and 38). The walls (1, 2, 2', 3 and 4) and doors (34, 35, 36, 37 and 38) form the casing which is divided into two compartments by parallel partitions (9, 9'). Air is drawn through an intake opening (39), through a channel (10) and sequentially passed through a temperature control apparatus (14), a filter (15) and a fan (16). The air is then transmitted through a fan outlet duct (20) to a channel (22). A plurality of absorption filter elements (23) receive the air from channel (22) and serve to remove contaminating agents. After the air is passed through the filter elements (23), it is directed into passageways (40 and 41) which are open to a rear space (42). From the rear space (42) the filtered air is exhausted from the casing through an outlet (30).
