IPC: H04W16/16
Filed: 2008-09-24
Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for handling a visitor access terminal (AT) associated with a macro network, in response to the visitor AT entering a coverage area of an access point (AP) base station. In one approach, the method involves allowing registration of the visitor AT with the AP base station, and forwarding information regarding the registration to the macro network. Upon activation of the visitor AT, communication between the visitor AT and the macro network may be facilitated by, for example, forwarding a paging request to the visitor AT through the AP base station.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wavelength tuneable external-cavity laser module, the laser being tuneable across a predetermined wavelength range and comprising: a thermally stabilised substrate; a gain medium for emitting an optical beam passing through the external cavity along an optical axis, said gain medium being placed in thermal contact with the thermally stabilised substrate; an end mirror for receiving and reflecting the optical beam within the external cavity, and a phase element for controlling the phase of the optical beam and being positioned within the external cavity between the gain medium and the end mirror, wherein said phase element comprises a material having a refractive index that varies in response to changes in temperature and has a transmissivity substantially independent of wavelength across said predetermined wavelength range. The thermally-controllable phase element in the laser external cavity is configured so as to induce a phase variation that compensates the drop in the output power due to ageing or to external temperature variation. According to a preferred embodiment, a heating element is placed in thermal contact to the phase element. The temperature of the phase element can be increased to "bring back" the output power to a value very close to the initial value. Preferably, the phase element is a silicon plate. By thermally controlling an intra-cavity phase element it is possible to vary continuously the output power as a function of the injection current. Therefore, the solution has the advantage that it is possible to configure the ECL to laser at a desired value of the output power selected along a mono tonic function of the injection current.

Labeled on one of the two faces of the majority of the flashcards are specific pairings of alpha-numeric characters (along with the invention's logo and / or name). Labeled on the same face of a minority of the flashcards are specific mathematical symbol pairings (along with the invention's logo and /  or name). Labeled on the same face of a further minority of the flashcards is nothing - they are blank (except for the invention's logo and / or name). Labeled in one of the four corners of the alternate faces of all of the flashcards in the flashcard set is a single small shape (for example, an oval shape). The colour of this shape varies, depending upon the information which is labeled on the aforementioned reverse faces of the flashcards. All of the flashcards have the capacity to display non-permanent information, which can be printed, written or drawn by users onto both faces of the flashcards, with wet or dry erase makers, for many different interrelated learning purposes.

Abstract: In urban areas one-story buildings are the favored form of residential buildings.  With the aging of population, climbing of the stairs or descending on them becomes an increasingly important problem. Statistical data indicate that in the over sixty age group falling, especially falling in stairs, represents a large proportion of deaths and serious injuries. Many inventions have been suggested to aid older people and provide convenience to others to avoid the burden of handling the stairs. Most of them offer sitting arrangements that are moved by rather complex motor-driven devices attached to one side of the stairs. The disadvantage of these devices is that the stairs in residential buildings, to save space, are often interrupted by one or more landings that make these so-called chair-lifts even more complicated and expensive. Since moving on the stairs from one story to the next above or down below usually takes no more than one or two minutes, it is an unnecessary luxury to have people seated during this short time.  A new device is suggested that consists of a vertical pole fitted out with mail thread that joins a small platform fitted out with female thread. The pole is turned by a reversible motor and thereby moves the platform up or down. The platform carries standing person(s) one by one, or two or three in a group, or one sitting in wheelchair from one floor to the next above or down below. This device is inexpensive, can be used with stairs interrupted by landings or with spiral staircase, and does no require the changing or redistribution of the designed building spaces.

Abstract: Aspects relate to determining whether a constraint or other condition on a mobile device may be alleviated or better satisfied by switching from one communication network to another for a call (or setting up a call on one network in preference to another). A mobile device is operable to conduct a communication session over at least two different communication media, which have different power consumption characteristics. Where a remaining battery power level is constrained, a determination can be made whether using one network over another saves more than a threshold amount of power over another network. Estimates of battery life for each network can be made based on predictions of a length of the communication session, and a power factor calculated for the network.

Abstract: The present document describes an arrow/arrowhead which depart from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art. The arrowhead described in the present embodiments allows for higher penetration coupled with a higher ability to snatch and/or isolate tissue from the animal body to take down animals as fast and as humanly as possible. In an embodiment, the arrowhead comprises a shaft having a pointed end and at least one lobe mounted on the shaft. When the arrowhead penetrates the animal's body, the lobe snatches the tissue from the animal's body, as opposed to only making a cut therein. When the tissue is snatched from the animal's body, excessive bleeding occurs, which prevents the animal from running away and suffering longer. In an embodiment, each lobe may include a blade forming a closed loop.
