  • Publication number: 20180370007
    Abstract: A percussion mechanism contains a guide tube, an exciter piston, a hammer, a pneumatic chamber for coupling the hammer to the motion of the exciter piston, a striker, and a seat for the striker. The hammer has a striking point, defined by a striking surface of the striker when the striker lies against the seat. A check valve has an outlet opening and a closing mechanism for closing the check valve against an air flow from the interior of the guide tube. The outlet opening is arranged in such a way that the outlet opening is closed by the hammer during striking operation and otherwise is open.

  • Patent number: 9701007
    Abstract: A side handle (18) is provided for a handheld power tool (1). The user can grasp the side handle (18) by a grip element (19). A ring-shaped clamp is provided for clamping the side handle (18) onto the handheld power tool (1). The clamp (36) has two ends (32, 33) that can be joined. A pre-tensioned spring (39) presses the joinable ends (32, 33) against a stop (40) in order to join them under a force that acts in an effective direction (29). A release mechanism (41, 43) is held in a normal position by the force of the pre-tensioned spring (29) that acts in the effective direction (29). Against the force of the pre-tensioned spring (39) that acts in the effective direction (29), the user can deflect the release mechanism (41) into a release position in order to cancel the force that presses the joinable ends against the stop.

  • Publication number: 20170046533
    Abstract: A method is described for processing of user-specific data in a vehicle; in particular, the processing of user-specific data in control systems of a vehicle, such as a navigation system or an entertainment system, for example. For this purpose, the device for processing user-specific data is expanded by a private operating mode. In this private operating mode, there is no persistent storage of user inputs and/or the resulting processing results. After termination of the newly created private operating mode, the data stored during the private operating mode are deleted immediately.

  • Patent number: 9407668
    Abstract: A protection against an unsolicited communication for an IMS (PUCI) system includes a call session control function (CSCF), and a plurality of PUCE application servers. The PUCI application servers make an evaluation as to whether a communication received from the user equipment is an unsolicited communication; the CSCF makes a decision on routing toward the PUCI application servers based on the evaluation; then, the PUCI application servers execute the routing based on the decision.

  • Publication number: 20160207188
    Abstract: The handheld power tool has a tool socket to hold a chiseling tool on a working axis and a striking mechanism that acts upon the tool in the striking direction. The striking mechanism is arranged in a machine housing. A handle is oriented along a handle axis that is perpendicular to the working axis and that is installed on the machine housing by three suspension assemblies. The second suspension assembly has a lever arm that runs along the handle axis. The first end of the lever arm is attached to a machine housing and to a handle. A guide is attached to the other machine housing and handle. The second end of the lever arm in the guide can be forcibly deflected against a spring along a trajectory that is slanted or perpendicular to the working axis.

  • Patent number: 9357919
    Abstract: An optical imaging system is to be aligned with its optical axis in relation to a given alignment axis. For this, a radiation beam is emitted from one side of the imaging system along the alignment axis. In the direction of beam propagation, there is located behind the imaging system a pair of diaphragm elements, whose apertures are each covered by a piece of material transparent to the radiation, carrying a plurality of sensor elements arranged in a matrix. The sensor elements furnish information about the measured radiation intensity to a signal processing unit, which can graphically illustrate the current alignment status of the imaging system on a monitor and/or produce an automatic adjustment of the imaging system.

  • Patent number: 9344874
    Abstract: An access gateway (GW) receives, from a mobility management node, a transmission-path control signal for changing a route of only part of a data packet flow that pertains to a mobile terminal and is originally relayed through the access GW and a first mobility anchor. In response to receiving the transmission-path control signal, the access GW establishes a logical transmission path with a second mobility anchor for transferring the part of the data packet flow, and transfers the part of the packet flow to the second mobility anchor and also transfers a remaining part of the packet flow to the first mobility anchor by distinguishing a data packet received from the mobile terminal.

  • Patent number: 9338196
    Abstract: To improve detection accuracy of SPIT, first, an identification information gathering apparatus receives various identification information from an IP phone terminal which has transmitted an INVITE message. A PUCI server generates bind identification information by binding or associating various identification information received from an identification information gathering apparatus via an SIP server and registers the bind identification information to a gray list stored in a list storing portion. A SPIT determination portion evaluates the bind identification information in reference to the gray list and determines whether or not the session start request from the IP phone terminal is allowed.

  • Patent number: 9225751
    Abstract: A PUCI system is designed to process an incoming call originated by the user equipment toward the counterpart user equipment via an EMS node having a PUCI-light functionality, which includes an IBCF/I-CSCF, a S-CSCF, and a database storing the PUCI-light information. Through a query to the database indicating a suspicious session in relation to the incoming call, the IMS node immediately blocks the suspicious session or simply marks the suspicious session for the further processing at a subsequent node. The reason for rejection is included in a SIP BYE/ERROR message of an original session setup message, which is interpreted by a previous IMS node so as to obtain the relevant information from a SIP header. The relevant information is stored in either a global operator policy database or a local database, thus enabling a PUCI-negating IMS node to reject an unsolicited call related to the blocked session.

  • Patent number: 9158932
    Abstract: Access by a user to a database layer, is governed by modeled authorization checking implemented with authorization objects present in an overlying application layer. At design time, the authorization checking is modeled as part of an existing user interface (UI) model, which may conform to a Model, View, and Control (MVC) design pattern. Authorization objects created during design time, are stored in a meta data repository. At runtime, an authorization engine references the authorization objects and the operations supported by those authorization objects. The authorization check is thus implemented centrally in the UI framework itself using this modeled information. Embodiments avoid complexity, potential lack of internal consistency, and low visibility of conventional de-centralized authorization checking schemes that rely upon a plurality of enforcement points hard-coded at multiple locations within application logic.
