  • Patent number: 10234085
    Abstract: In a lighting strip system having an elongate support arrangement for holding lamp units and lines for electricity supply and/or signal transmission, the support arrangement has an I-shaped profile in cross section, with two receiving regions, which run in the longitudinal direction of the support arrangement and are separated by a preferably vertically aligned partition, wherein the lines for electricity supply and/or signal transmission are arranged in one of the receiving regions and operational devices of the lamp units are arranged in the other receiving region.

  • Publication number: 20040095959
    Abstract: The invention relates to an access network for transmitting data packets between a network (NW) and a terminal (UE) via a radio communication system, and to a method for operating the same. The access network (AN) comprises a number of nodes (UPS) that are each linked with at least one radio station of the radio communication network and that are adapted to convert data stemming from the network (NW) to a format that is compatible with the transmission in the radio communication system. A permanent first address is defined for the terminal (UE). Data packets that are directed to the first address are forwarded to the address of a processor (VMH) allocated to the terminal (UE), said processor emulating the terminal (UE) in the access network and tracing its movement. The processor behaves towards the network (NW) as a mobile terminal that is compatible with a mobility protocol (Mobile IP, Cellular IP, IPv6).
