Abstract: When deactivating a subscription and SIM card, the SIM card is connected to the ODA database, an instruction to deactivate the SIM card and cancel the subscription is transferred to the ODA, information in the memory of the SIM card including the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) of the SIM card, is transferred to the ODA, which is arranged to be connected to the network, including a HLR/AUC. The ODA retrieves the subscription information, and replaces the IMSI of the SIM card with a temporary IMSI called IMSI-T. The ODA stores the information in the memory of the SIM card together with the IMSI-T in the database. The ODA also stores the information together with the IMSI-T and transfers to the network an instruction to cancel the subscription in the network. The SIM card may be reactivated using the information stored in the ODA database and on the SIM card including the IMSI-T.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques for monitoring railway track geometry. In one aspect, some such tools and techniques can determine a location of a platform along a railway, capture one or more images of the railway, and/or analyze the rail configuration at that point. In another aspect, some solutions might employ photogrammetric techniques to analyze the rail configuration and thereafter store data about the rail configuration, perhaps correlated with the location of the images, in a data store.

Abstract: A swivel joint comprises a pipe part and a swivel nut (2). The pipe part has a first end (4a) and a second end (4b) and the swivel nut (2) has a first end (11a) and a second end (11b). The swivel nut (2) is positioned on the pipe part such that the first end (11a) of the swivel nut (2) forms a swivel connection with the first end (4a) of the pipe part. The swivel nut (2) and the pipe part comprise shoulders (10, 17) against each other for preventing separation of the swivel nut (2) from the pipe part. The swivel nut (2) is made such that the swivel nut (2) and the pipe part are connected together by pushing the first end (11a) of the swivel nut (2) towards the first end (4a) of the pipe part whereby the swivel nut (2) and the pipe part are connected by a snap joint.
