Abstract: Provided is a method for sending data to a user equipment (10) cooperating with a secure element, said method comprising exchanging in signaling messages information between said secure element and a server acting as an AUSF/UDM in order to transmit to said secure element a temporary IMSI, wherein in consist in using the procedure for steering of user equipment in VPLMN during registration as defined by 3GPP TS 33.501 V17.5.0 (2022-03) entitled “3rd Generation Partnership Project, Technical Specification Group Services and System Aspects, Security architecture and procedures for 5G system (Release 17) in order to send from said server (11) to said secure element said data.

Abstract: A latch assembly having: a chassis; a latch bolt, movably mounted to the chassis for movement between a closed position for retaining a striker in the latch assembly and an open position for releasing the striker from the latch assembly; a pawl rotatably mounted to the latch assembly via a pawl pivot pin for rotation between an engaged position wherein the pawl retains the latch bolt in the closed position and a disengaged position wherein the pawl is disengaged from the latch bolt such that the latch can move to the open position; and wherein the pawl rotates about a surface of the pawl pivot pin comprising a first arcuate portion and a second arcuate portion, wherein a radius of the first arcuate portion is smaller than a radius of the second arcuate portion.

Abstract: A latch system includes a latch and a key barrel operably coupled via a clutch to the latch. The clutch has an engaged condition where operation of the key barrel unlatches the latch, and the clutch has a disengaged condition where operation of the key barrel does not unlatch the latch.

Abstract: A method of controlling a local process that forms part of a first processing entity, where the first processing entity maintains a plurality of associations with a plurality of remote processes in a second processing entity, comprises receiving a failure message from a remote process indicating a fault affecting an association linking the local process with that remote process; queueing data messages destined for that remote process; controlling the transmission of an acknowledgement of the failure message so that data messages pending on the association are received at that remote process before the acknowledgment of the failure message; and initiating a traffic diversion to set up an alternate path between the first processing entity and the second processing entity for queued data messages.

Abstract: A signalling gateway for connecting a first network to a second network, the signalling gateway being operable to, receive a signalling message from the first network, the message comprising destination information, read the destination information and, where the destination information corresponds to a predetermined value, forward the message to one of a first entity on the first network and a second entity on the second network in accordance with a distribution rule.

Abstract: A method of providing a routing key interpreter for a signalling gateway, the method comprising the steps of generating an input file comprising a plurality of input expressions and a plurality of routing keys corresponding to the input expression, supplying the input file to a lexical analyser generator to generate a lexical analyser, and implementing the routing key interpreter using the lexical analyser.

Abstract: A method of controlling a local process that forms part of a first processing entity such as a signalling gateway, said first processing entity maintaining a plurality of associations with a plurality of remote processes in a second processing entity such as a application server. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a failure message from a remote process indicating a fault affecting an association linking the local process with that remote process; queueing data messages destined for that remote process; controlling the transmission of an acknowledgement of the failure message so that data messages pending on the association are received at that remote process before the acknowledgment of the failure message; and initiating a traffic diversion to set up an alternate path between said first processing entity and said second processing entity for queued data messages.
