Patent CA-2375288-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DEL SORDO CHRIS
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: A central control system is provided for broadband communication terminals. A message source generates control information adapted to provide different functionality to different broadband communication terminals or populations of such terminals. At least one transmitter is adapted to transmit control information generated by the message source to the terminals on different control channels. The message source provides control channel configuration messages targeted to different terminal populations or to individual terminals. The control channel configuration messages designate a particular control channel from which the targeted terminal population or individual terminal should thereafter acquire the control information required to control the functionality of the respective terminal(s). The transmitter provides the control information to the respective terminal(s), on the designated control channels, for use until the terminals) are directed to another control channel by a new control channel configuration message.

Title: Hair shaping device, especially a steam styling tong
Inventor: KERN HEINZ
IPC: A45D1/02
Filed: 2001-03-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a hair shaping device (1), especially a steam styling tong, comprising a tubular drum (3) for treating the hair which is provided with ducts (2). A dosing device (26) projects out of the drum (3). When said dosing device is activated, liquid is discharged from an outlet (18) of a liquid container (19), via a liquid guiding device (17). An evaporation device (13) which is provided with heat by a heating device (12) is configured in the drum (3). Said evaporation device consists of an evaporating surface (16) which is in thermal contact with the heating device (12). The discharged liquid evaporates to steam on the evaporating surface. The steam then enters a steam distribution chamber (91), where it flows outwards through the ducts (2). The heating device (12) is configured in a combustion chamber (7) of the drum (3) in which a gas is flamelessly combusted with a catalyst (8) during the heating process. The resulting combustion gases are discharged through outlets (2) configured on the drum (3) or on the combustion chamber (7).  According to the invention, the combustion chamber (7) and the steam distribution chamber (91) are formed by a common chamber (87). Means (26, 17) for preventing water from entering the common chamber (87) are also provided.  This simplifies the construction of the hair shaping device, hereby reducing production costs, while still ensuring reliable combustion.

Title: Method and sytem for mobile communications
Inventor: YUNOKI KAZUFUMI
IPC: H04W16/28
Filed: 1998-04-24
Abstract: When a network pages the temporary user mobile identifier of a mobile station, the mobile station sends a response to the network. Next, the network checks the authenticity of the user using a ciphering key, corresponding to the temporary user mobile identifier and a random number. If the temporary user mobile identifier is authenticated, a normal incoming call acceptance procedure is executed. If the mobile station is authenticated although the temporary user mobile identifier is wrong, the network reassigns a new temporary user mobile identifier to the mobile station and stops the current communication. In communication, the network and the mobile station mutually notify encipherment-onset time and negotiate about encipherment manner with each other. In addition, diversity handover is commenced upon a call attempt. Furthermore, if a branch replacement is necessary, the current branch is replaced by new branches capable of executing the diversity handover.  Additionally, when a new call occurs to or from the mobile station capable of treating a plurality of calls simultaneously, the mobile station uses the same branch structure and the same communication frequency band for all of calls. Additionally, when a new call occurs to or from the mobile station capable of treating a plurality of calls simultaneously, a branch structure and a communication frequency band, which can continue all of the calls, are selected and used. Therefore, the mobile communications system is suitable for transmission of various sorts of data in accordance with the development of multimedia.
