  • Publication number: 20190007502
    Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to a method for providing a service to a user equipment connected to a first operator network. The second operator network comprises a register containing subscription information of the user equipment. The method comprises a number of steps. One of these steps is receiving from the first operator network a service request of the user equipment, the service request being associated with the service. Another step is obtaining a service-deployment-specification for the second operator network comprising at least one network function associated with the service on the basis of the service request. Yet another step is converting the service-deployment-specification for the second operator network into a generic specification, the generic specification enabling execution of the at least one network function in the first operator network for providing the service to the user equipment. Yet another step is transmitting the generic specification to the first operator network.

  • Publication number: 20170353980
    Abstract: A software-implemented method for assisting in handling of connection setup requests in a telecommunications network is disclosed. The method includes intercepting a connection setup request from a user equipment (UE) to a control node of a radio access network part of the telecommunications network, determining whether the connection setup request is to be fulfilled based at least on information regarding resource use within a network access point serving the UE, and passing the connection setup request for further processing within the telecommunications network only upon positive determination.

  • Publication number: 20170279664
    Abstract: The invention relates to a node for communication between a first network and an second network and coupled to a controller in the second network via a first communication route. The node and controller form a virtualised home gateway platform. The node is arranged to access a second communication route and also to couple to the controller via the second communication route upon connection failure of the first communication route. This reconnects the node to the controller thereby maintaining a route for transmission of data streams and downloads into the home environment but also re-establishes control signalling within the virtualised home gateway platform and therefore also within the home network. A system for performing gateway functions between a first network and an second network, and a method of maintaining connection between a node and a controller, are also described.

  • Patent number: 9640984
    Abstract: A current limiting device for a power grid includes a first current limiting reactor; a first smart fast switch connected with the first current limiting reactor in parallel; a current transformer sleeved on a bus bar located on one side of a circuit resulting from the parallel connection of the first current limiting reactor with the first smart fast switch to monitor the current in the bus bar in real time; and a controller connected with the current transformer to control the switch-off of the first smart fast switch when the current in the bus bar is higher than a first preset value and the switch-on of the first smart fast switch when the current in the bus bar is smaller than a second preset value, wherein the first preset value is higher than the second preset value. The current limiting device improves the operational reliability of a power grid.

  • Patent number: 9514019
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method in which a status of a first contact and a status of a second contact are detected. At least one of the detected statuses are used to determine whether the first contact is free for transferring data. If the determining indicates that the data connection is free for transferring data, a first arbitration delay is waited before the status of the first contact and the status of the second contact are again detected. A transmission of a start bit is then started if the detected status of the first contact and the detected status of the second contact indicate that the first contact is still free for transferring data. There is also disclosed an apparatus and a storage medium having stored thereon a computer executable program code for use by an apparatus to implement the method.

  • Patent number: 8569606
    Abstract: An apparatus for synchronizing light signals to a music input signal includes an analog to digital converter to generate a digital signal equivalent of the analog music input signal, an digital signal decoder to generate an output pulse width modulated signal that is representative of the tempo and the volume of the music input signal, a light driver unit that receives the output pulse width modulated signal to correspondingly light up a lighting unit, and a lighting unit that emits light. Thus, light brightness synchronizes with the music volume amplitude, and the light blinks on and off with the music tempo and beating.

  • Patent number: 8071125
    Abstract: This invention relates to a transdermal patch in the form of a layer complex, comprising a backing layer, a drug-reservoir layer comprising pharmacologically active ingredients and pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants, and a release liner covering the drug-reservoir layer, characterized in that the drug-reservoir layer comprises isosorbide dinitrate and Bisoprolol at a ratio of 1:3 to 3:1 by weight, as the pharmacologically active ingredients. Animal tests show that said patch can reduce the elevation of T wave of cardiogram, the increase of the level of myocardial enzyme in blood serum, and the extension of the range of myocardial infarction caused by ligating the coronary artery in animals. Results show that said patch exhibits a considerable synergistic effect in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and has good preventive and therapeutic effects on several adverse events on heart.

  • Publication number: 20110208885
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to prevent I2C device from hanging the I2C data bus and thus stopping other devices in the system from transmitting or receiving data is presented. A logic transition detector detects a logic transition at the output data line of an I2C device and triggers a timer. The timer starts counting after it is triggered. A reset module resets the I2C interface module in the I2C device after the timer counts to a specified period of time. The timer is reset when the logic transition detector detects another logic transition at the output data line of the I2C device.
