Inventor: PIISPANEN ARI
IPC: B21H1/00
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a formed piece of aluminum or some other relatively soft metal. In accordance with the invention, a slice is cut form a rod of aluminum or some other raw-cast metal; the slice forms a blank (3), which is placed on the mould surface (10) of a mould tool (5) rotating about its axis (4), and which is formed using a roll forming tool rotating about its axis (6) inclined to the axis of the mould tool and being in linear rolling contact with the blank surface. The blank is then formed to a substantially disc-shaped piece of plate between the opposite rotating tools (5, 7). The method may be part of the manufacturing process of a frying pan or kettle so that the roll formed piece may comprise the bottom and collar of the utensil, which is bent to form the sides of the cooking utensil at the next pressure turning stage; or, alternatively, the roll formed piece may be fastened as the bottom to a separately manufactured utensil by linear pressing. The formed piece may also be deep-drawn to a globe of a street light, or it may be used as a traffic sign, or as a lid for a soft-drink can.

Title: Testing mobile telephone terminals
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: A mobile telephone terminal is tested by a test set transmitting to the terminal on a downlink a predetermined data pattern which it recognises and which prompts it to transmit an access request on an uplink. The access request is analysed by the test set to assess the performance of the terminal without the test set otherwise responding to the access request from the terminal. Multiple different data patterns may be used such that each prompt the terminal to transmit an access request to a different power level and/or specify a different maximum number of times the terminal should send an access request if it receives a response to none of them. The predetermined data pattern may be transmitted multiple times at different power levels and the response of the terminal analysed to determine a threshold at which it fails to transmit an access request.
