  • Patent number: 7584215
    Abstract: A method of creating user-experiential media services in an information system including several databases for information content, users of information services, information content parameters and user profile parameters, and a rulebase for the reaction impulses of a test user group to information stimuli presented. In the system, a database descriptive of users' reactions is created. Metadata files are created for the user of the information service and the content of the information service by comparing the actual parameters descriptive of the user and the content of the information service with the theoretical parameters included in the rulebase. Possible reactions of the interaction of the user and the content of the information service are specified, whereupon the desired reaction is selected among the possible reactions. The content of the information service is modified for presentation to the user in order to achieve the desired reaction.

  • Patent number: 7239889
    Abstract: An antenna system with two antennas provides the possibility to operate at least two different radio communication systems with one radio communication system operating on one single antenna of the antenna system and another radio communication system operating on both antennas of the antenna system wherein the antenna system serves as a diversity antenna system. This kind of antenna system is designed to be employed particularly in small devices with restricted measurements. Especially, an implementation of an antenna system for dual use of GSM/E-GSM/DCS operation and WLAN operation is presented.

  • Patent number: 7216131
    Abstract: A method of creating metadata files for personalization of media services in an information system including a database descriptive of information content, a database descriptive of users of information services, a rulebase descriptive of reaction impulses of a test user group to information stimuli presented, a database descriptive of an information content space, and a database descriptive of a user profile space and including theoretical alternatives for parameters descriptive of users of information services. In the system, a database descriptive of reactions of users of information services is created, the database being arranged to be created as an interaction of the databases descriptive of the information content space and the user profile space. Actual parameters descriptive of the content and users of the information services are compared with theoretical parameters, and metadata files for the user and content of the information service are created as a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 6427508
    Abstract: An automated collar-forming drill mechanism, having the bottom end of its rotatable drive shaft (1) fitted with a tool head (2), which is driven axially back and forth by means of a piston-cylinder assembly (5-9), the drive shaft (1) extending through its piston rod (9). The axially directed operations of the tool head (2) are effected by means of a pneumatic part of the piston-cylinder assembly and a limitation to the speed of working operations is effected by means of a hydraulic part of the piston-cylinder assembly. The operating speeds upwards and downwards, as well as the reversing points for operating speeds and direction, are adjustable.

  • Patent number: 6111545
    Abstract: The invention comprises an antenna structure particularly suited for mobile stations. The antenna comprises a radiating element (100) which is of a conductor form. The antenna conductor comprises a basic conductor and as an extension to this a conductor (115, 116) which at least partly is located relatively close to the basic conductor. As the conductors are close to each other that causes an electromagnetic coupling, which again causes a second resonance frequency for the antenna. The bandwidth of the antenna can be widened when the second resonance frequency is arranged close to the first one. The antenna can be made as a two-band antenna when the second resonance frequency is arranged relatively far from the first one. The bands can be made relatively wide, so that the antenna operates satisfactorily in different positions and in the neighbourhood of objects. It can be fastened to the back wall of a mobile station, whereby the distance to the user's head is made as large as possible.

  • Patent number: 5876161
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for making an elongated hole in a pipe which includes drilling a rotating conical tool through the pipe wall by pushing the conical tool in the direction of its rotating axis to a desired depth, then simultaneously lifting and tilting the conical bit so as to mill one end of an elongated hole. The rotatable conical tool may be lifted and tilted in the opposite direction to further mill the pipe and elongate the hole. Tilting is effected relative to a pivot point located above the top pipe surface and in a plane extending through a center axis of the pipe, and the angle of inclination can be adjusted for determining the length of the finished hole.
