Abstract: There is provided a method for scheduling user terminals for downlink transmission in a communication network, the method including determining a duration of a discontinuous reception cycle for a user terminal, wherein the beginning of the cycle triggers a first active period during which the user terminal is in an active mode; and determining an interval between periodic channel quality indicator reports for the user terminal.

Abstract: A vibration damper includes a cylinder in which a piston fastened to a piston rod executes a translational and a rotational movement relative to the cylinder. The piston is fixed to the piston rod by an axial fastener, and a device for preventing rotation by positive engagement is formed between the piston and the piston rod.

Abstract: It is described a mobile network with a first network node and a second network node, the mobile network providing a user plane for transporting transmission packets, which contain user data, and a further network layer plane different from the user plane. A method of operating the first network node includes sending an information element to the second network node via a network layer protocol of the further network layer plane wherein the information element indicates optimizing capabilities of the first network node or of a other network node of the mobile network of processing an optimized transmission packet. A method of operating a second network node includes receiving the information element from the first network node via a network layer protocol of the further network layer plane, and processing the information element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a call center and method for operating automated call center services. The call center includes agent workstations which are connected via a telecommunications system to a public telecommunications network, whereby the agent workstations are connected via an internal communications network to one another and to at least one data server, where at least one service server is provided which is connected to the internal communications network, whereby at least one automated call center service runs at least partially and at least temporarily on the service server, and at least one service server can be connected via at least one switching computer to the public telecommunications network. According to the invention, the at least one call center service is controlled on the service server by at least one service program unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to the operation and administration of a call center, the network elements of which or the applications of which are distributed in a network and, in particular, are available via the Internet. In this arrangement, switches of a public network are linked into the administration. Communication between different network elements, particularly applications and servers from different domains takes place by converting interfaces of the applications into a protocol which is intended for interdomain communication.

Abstract: A process and a reagent for the determination of ions in fluids, wherein the influence of these ions on the activity of an enzyme is measured. The ions for example are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, lithium, lead, zinc, copper, iron or other heavy metals or non-metallic ions comprising chloride, bicarbonate, protons, ammonium and substances that give rise to ammonium. The enzymes which are used may be a transferase, a hydrolase, an oxidoreductase or a lyase. An essential feature is a method to exclude interferences by ions by masking the interfering ions with a binding agent.

Abstract: An endoscope has a tubular shaft for receiving a viewing lens and a treatment instrument. The shaft has a distal end portion of channel-shape, providing a viewing window for the viewing lens. The circumference of the shaft is of oval cross-section around which the wall of the channel-shaped portion extends asymmetrically. An aperture recess forming an additional viewing window for the viewing lens is provided in the wall of the end portion. The endoscope is particularly suitable for use in endoscopic operations in the female breast, since the additional viewing window allows inspection of an implant before opening a capsule surrounding the implant.
