Abstract: Methods for desensitising an individual to a selected polypeptide antigen are provided. The methods entail administration of T cell epitope containing peptides from a polypeptide antigen in such a way as to establish a tolergeneic environment, that is, a state of hyporesponsiveness to the peptides. The selected polypeptide antigen is then administered such that the state of hyporesponsiveness and co-administration of the selected antigen are sufficient to desensitise the individual to the polypeptide antigen. Also provided are therapeutic systems useful in the methods of the invention, and the use of polypeptide antigens and peptides in the manufacture of medicaments in the methods of the invention.

Abstract: A method for implementing Iu-Flex-Based MBMS, wherein: a SGSN sends a RAB request to a RNC; the RNC establishes a corresponding RAB for the multicast traffic according to said request and said SGSN sending the request; and at the same time, if said RNC detects a plurality of multicast traffics from other SGSNs correspond to a multicast traffic, said RNC will choose a SGSN as the primary SGSN and take the RAB between the primary SGSN and itself as the primary path to receive the multicast traffic and maintain the connections to other SGSNs; at last, transmission of the multicast traffic is performed through said primary SGSN, during the multicast traffic transmission process, said RNC may change the primary SGSN when necessary and receive multicast traffic through the RAB of the new primary SGSN and maintain the connections to other SGSNs. In this method, multicast traffics can be implemented simply and reliably. The method also helps to reduce consumption of network resources and improve network security and accounting management. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for session release in a communication system supporting Internet Protocol (IP) communications. In one embodiment, when the MS has lost a bearer connection ( i.e ., PPP session), the notification is provided by a Packet Data Service Node (PDSN) 112 to the serving Session Control Manager (SCM) via IP multicast. If two PPP sessions are active for a given IP communication, and one PPP session is not lost, the PDSN associated with the active PPP session sends a correction message to ignore any notification message sent by the other PDSN. In an alternate embodiment, the Authentication Authorization Accounting (AAA) server uses start and stop accounting requests, received from PDSNs, to determine when to notify the serving SCM to terminate an IP communication.

Abstract: A package assembly including a housing that has an attachable portion and a manually removable portion. Also included is a length of attachment strip material having opposite major surfaces defined by stretch release adhesive extending between its opposite ends. The length of attachment strip material has a first part adhered along the outer surface of the attachable portion of the housing, and a second part extending from one end of the first part; and that second part of the length of attachment strip material is disposed to restrict adhesion between it and a planar surface to which the first part of the length of attachment strip material is adhered to support the housing along that surface. The manually removable portion of the housing is manually removable from the attachable portion of the housing to afford stretching of the first part of the length of attachment strip material by pulling its second part away from its first part, thereby removing the first part of the attachment strip material from between the attachable portion of the housing and that surface.

The inventive audio device is essentially comprised of an electroacoustic transducer (4) that can be used as a loudspeaker or microphone, and of a plate-shaped support element (5) that serves to hold the transducer (4). The transducer (4) is arranged in a compact and space-saving manner inside an opening, boring or recess of the support element, said opening, boring or recess being matched to the cross-section of the transducer, so that the sound space-side transducer surface (41) terminates in an almost flush manner with the corresponding surface (51) of the support element (5). A number of spring elements (6) that are supported on the transducer base, hold the transducer (4), which is optionally provided with an electromagnetic shielding, in the desired position. The audio device can be used, in particular, in all types of mobile terminals of communications and data technology.
