  • Patent number: 7481972
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of heating a package, comprising the steps of: placing a number of packages in a retort, pressurising the retort to a first pressure by the supply of a gaseous pressurisation medium of low moisture content, supplying a heating medium for heating the package and the product packed in the package, raising, in connection with the supply of the heating medium, the pressure in the retort to a second pressure, and, during the final phase of the heat-treatment, reducing the pressure in the retort in such a manner that the pressure of the product packed in the package is higher than or equal to the pressure prevailing in the retort outside the package.

  • Patent number: 6052597
    Abstract: The position of a mobile station in a cellular mobile telephone system, particularly a GSM system, is determined by carrying out a simulated call setup, i.e., the call setup is interrupted subsequent to a telephone switching center (MSC) having received a paging response containing the identity of the cell and, optionally, a timing advance. The simulated call setup is initiated by generating a modified short message signal (SMS) which is not registered in the SMS catalogue of the mobile station and which is not shown to the user of the mobile station. The SMS commands the mobile station to carry out a position determining sequence in order to establish parameters for use in establishing the position of the mobile station, for example by commanding the mobile station to connect itself to a base station contained in its neighbor list, analyze the geographical position of the base station, and subsequently send the position determining parameters to a position handler.
