  • Patent number: 11969322
    Abstract: An absorbent article can have a topsheet layer, a liquid impermeable layer, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet layer and the liquid impermeable layer. The absorbent article can further include an exudate management layer in fluid communication with the topsheet layer. In various embodiments, the exudate management layer can be positioned on a body facing surface of the topsheet layer. In various embodiments, the exudate management layer can be positioned between the topsheet layer and the absorbent core. The exudate management layer has a first component which defines an opening for direct passage of body exudates into the absorbent core. The exudate management layer has a second component which at least partially overlaps the first component of the exudate management layer and further extends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article in a direction towards the posterior region of the absorbent article.

  • Patent number: 7822013
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for call diversion in a telecommunication network, comprising a data network (1), a voice network (2), for the transmission of speech, a network server (7), for the speech network (2) and a management server (6), for the data network (1). According to the invention, the management server is interrogated about the state of a call from the user terminal (8) to the data network (1) and where an error in said call occurs a call transfer to a stored address is carried out by the network server (7).

  • Patent number: 7058045
    Abstract: A method and a network element for processing signaling data and for controlling connections of subscribers of a packet-switching communications network. A network element actuates a concentrator interface using at least one connecting unit and makes resources available to it. Signaling data for performing subscriber signaling of a subscriber of the packet-switching communications network is transmitted between at least one packet control unit and the connecting unit via a message control system of the network element. The packet control unit converts the signaling data of the network element into signaling packets of the packet-switching communications network and vice versa. The signaling packets are transmitted between the network element and the subscriber.

  • Publication number: 20030206545
    Abstract: A method and telecommunications system for subscriber administration in a variety of telecommunications networks, wherein first setting information for a first subscriber of a line-switching communications network and second setting information for a second subscriber of a packet-switching communications network are generated using a controller. The first setting information is transmitted between the controller and at least a first control unit of the line-switching communications network, and the second setting information is transmitted between the controller and at least a second control unit of the packet-switching communications network. Using the transmitted setting information, the first control unit sets service features and other features at the first subscriber and the second control unit sets service features and other features at the second subscriber.

  • Publication number: 20020044545
    Abstract: A system for connecting a telecommunications terminal or a private branch exchange to a packet-switching communications network, and to an interface unit, a communications terminal and a private branch exchange for connection to a packet-switching communications network. The system has at least one telecommunications device, for example a telephone or a private branch exchange, which can be connected to a line-switching communications network. Furthermore, this system contains an interface unit which is connected both to the packet-switching communications network and to the telecommunications device. The interface unit converts at least some of the data intended for the subscriber line using the user-switching communications network into data of a line-switching communications network.
