Abstract: An anchoring network device of a telecommunications network can receive a first initiation request of a communication session and determine a second request indicating a different media capability than the first request. A network gateway can modify packets of the session, e.g., by transcoding between the capabilities. In some examples, the anchoring device can determine that a codec list of the initiation request corresponds to a rewrite rule. The device can apply the rewrite rule to the request to provide a second request listing a second, different codec. In some examples, the anchoring device can determine if there is a common media capability between the first initiation request and a predetermined exclusion list. If not, the second request can include at least one capability not in the first request, e.g., an Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) Channel-Aware-mode (ChAw) codec.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly reliable box moving device that moves a box to a predetermined position and inhibits the occurrence of the problem that the box does not reach the predetermined position. A box moving device (20) changes the position of a box (C) having four side surfaces (C11 to C14). The box moving device (20) is equipped with a conveyor (21, 22) and a movement control unit (23). The movement control unit (23) drives the conveyor (21, 22) to cause the box (C) to move from a first position to a second position. The conveyor (21, 22) can alternately switch between a first state, in which it is contracted along a moving direction of the box (C), and a second state, in which it is extended along the moving direction of the box (C). The movement control unit (23) causes the box (C) to move from the first position to the second position by driving the conveyor (21, 22) that is in a holding mode in which it holds at least one of the side surfaces of the box (C) and simultaneously switching the conveyor (21, 22) from the first state to the second state.
