Inventor: ULF CHRISTOFFER
IPC: F16D13/00
Filed: 2007-12-20
Abstract: A synchronizing ring includes a conical ring body with an inner friction surface and an outer installation surface, which bound the ring body and extend conically. The ring body is bounded in the axial direction at a largest cone diameter by a gear wheel surface with a gear wheel extending substantially perpendicular to the synchronizing ring axis and is bounded at a smallest cone diameter by a surface. A recess is provided at the surface of the synchronizing ring for fixing the inner ring with a security against rotation of the inner ring. A raised or displaced portion is provided at the surface of the synchronizing ring and an undercut is provided at the inner ring, so that the displaced portion can engage in the undercut in such a way that an overall height of the synchronizing ring set is not enlarged by the displaced portion.

Title: Unique mobile network prefix to identify communications from a subnetwork
Inventor: HANNAH JOHN MILLIGAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2010-01-21
Abstract: In a method of handling communications to and from a subnetwork of communications devices forming a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), a Unique Mobile Network Prefix (UMNP) identifies communications from that subnetwork. The UMNP is provided to any device that becomes a Mobile Router (MR) for the subnetwork, and remains associated with that subnetwork regardless of the MR's continuing function as an MR in that subnetwork. Thus, changes are kept transparent to a Mobile Network Node (MNN) and its Correspondent Node (CN). A Domain Identity (DID) may be associated with the subnetwork and may be used to obtain the UMNP. The invention also provides a Home Agent (HA) for providing the UMNP to the MR and may be arranged to function as the HA of only a single MR.
