Abstract: There is provided a terminal automatically executing access processing to a URL registered in advance on a network in response to the cancellation operation of the power saving mode. This enables to execute accessing the predetermined URL on the network only by the cancellation operation of the power saving mode without need of an extra operation for the processing. Also, in a terminal having a folding mechanism, predetermined processing is automatically executed in response to the open motion from . the closed condition. This enables to execute the predetermined processing only by the open motion without need of an extra operation for the processing. Thus operability of the terminal is improved, and as a result, convenience for the user is improved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mobile communication system and a method for connecting a remote workstation to a data network via a mobile communication network. The invention allows a remote workstation (3, 4) to be connected more flexibly over the radio path by providing a special interconnecting computer (19) in conjunction with the mobile exchange (10, 15) for extending the connection to a destination data network (24). The interconnecting computer (19) thus acts as a bus between the remote workstation using the mobile communication network and its home data network, simulates the operation of the remote workstation towards the data network (24), and takes care of the real remote workstation (3, 4), which is behind the radio path. A data connection established over the radio path can be released so as to minimize the air time when the radio path is not needed for telecommunication, but the interconnecting computer (19) keeps the extended connection active towards the data network. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lancet having one or more portions of the shank of the lancet blade exposed for direct engagement with cooperating portion(s) of the lancet carrier of a lancing device. This direct engagement of the lancet blade with the lancet carrier provides more precise positional control of the location of the lancing site by eliminating the effect that any variation in the position of the lancet blade within the lancet body would otherwise have on the positioning of the lancet tip. Tolerance stack-up is thereby reduced and accuracy is improved, reducing the necessary sample size and minimizing pain resulting from the lancing operation.
