Title: Transmitting MAC address during SIP registration
Inventor: CHO SUNG-KWAN
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2006-11-06
Abstract: A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system comprises a SIP terminal (100, fig.5) and a SIP call server (200, fig.5). Upon receipt of a first registration request message from the SIP terminal, the call server transmits a user information request message to the SIP terminal to request a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the SIP terminal, and upon receipt of a second registration request message including the MAC address from the SIP terminal, the call server registers the SIP terminal and stores the MAC address to be matched to the registered SIP terminal, and then transmits a response message to the SIP terminal confirming completion of the registration. In the second registration request message, the MAC address may be appended to the user_name of an "Authenticate" Field and may be obtained by subtracting the user_name of the first message from the second message. An identifier in a nonce of a "WWW-Authenticate" field may be included in the user information request message to indicate to the SIP terminal that its MAC address is requested.

Title: A transmission with rectilinear drive mechanisms in series
Inventor: LEGGAT BERNARD CRAWSHAW
IPC: F16H21/14
Filed: 2007-11-22
Abstract: A gearless transmission which uses one or more rectilinear drive mechanisms in series. The rectilinear drive mechanism comprises paired eccentric discs 31, 32, mounted on a crankpin 22 and guided by two pairs of rails, 26, 27, 36, 37 orthogonal to each other, such that the discs rotate in the opposite direction to the crank. The two pairs of rails are mounted on fixing plate 38. In the transmission, the fixing plate is allowed to rotate, in some modes of operation, which provides a 2:1 speed ratio. The reverse rotating orbital motion of the paired discs is converted to reverse rotation, concentric with the input shaft, by means of a multicrank coupling 45, 46. Clutches (not shown) are used to select reverse rotation, direct drive or variable ratio outputs. Embodiments of the same mechanism provide reciprocating motion along at least one axis and also along two orthogonal axes so that the invention can be used as a piston machine with built-in reverse motion shafts which may be selectable.

Title: Method and apparatus for deciding tilt angles of antennas in a radio communication system
Inventor: AOYAMA AKIO
IPC: H01Q1/12
Filed: 2004-08-04
Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tilt angle deciding method and a system wherein optimal tilt angles of base station antennas of the entire system can be obtained in the radio communication system. The method comprises the steps of setting initial values of tilt angles; calculating the deterioration rate at the initial values of flit angles (where deterioration rate is a ratio of points where reception power or quality is lower than a predetermined value within specified coverage); selecting an antenna for reducing a tilt angle; reducing the tilt angle of the selected antenna; calculating a deterioration rate at the time when the tilt angle is reduced; determining the continuity of repealing the processes; after repeating the series of processes for reducing these tilt angles, increasing tilt angles repeatedly in the similar way. In addition, the method comprises the steps of outputting tilt angles corresponding to the smallest deterioration rate, and determining whether the processes of repeating the whole steps ends. With the above-specified processes, it becomes possible to obtain tilt angles for diminishing the deterioration rate of the entire system in comparison with that obtained at initial values of tilt angles.
