Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for call control by a called terminal device (MS-B) receiving a call via a communication network (IN-NW) for intelligent network services, said network (IN-NW) comprising a service control device (SCP, CSE) and a server device (WAP-SERVER) communicating with each other via an interface (WAP-I/F), said service control device being connected to at least one service switching device (SSP, MSC, HLR, VLR) establishing communication via at least one radio access network (RAN, BSS) with said terminal device (MS) and said terminal device (MS) being provided with a browsing means (WAP-UA) adapted to communicate with a user of said terminal device via a man machine interface means (MMI), and adapted to communicate with said server device, the method comprising the steps of: triggering the presentation of information identifying a calling user of a terminal device (MS-A) to the called terminal device (MS-B) upon receipt of an incoming call; if triggered, presenting said information to a user of said called terminal device (MS-B) at said man machine interface (MMI) of said terminal device; collecting a user input via said man machine interface (MMI) in response to said presentation, and controlling said received call according to said collected user input. Accordingly, with the present invention being implemented, it becomes advantageously possible to provide a flexible and user friendly method of call control at the called terminal device. Moreover, with the present invention, the use of radio resources for call control signaling is limited to those allocated to the WAP bearer. Hence, there is a benefit that any other radio resources other than the WAP bearer are not used during such user interactions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food-processor accessory (13) comprising a container (15), a rotatable tool (23), a support (21) for the tool, and a coupling member (27) by means of which the tool can be coupled to a drive member (9) which is arranged in a main housing (1) of a food processor, the container being detachably coupled to the support.  According to the invention, the accessory is provided with a safety member (31) and a locking device (33), which co-operates with said safety member. The safety member can be displaced relatively to the coupling member from a first position, in which the safety member prevents the coupling member from being coupled to the drive member, to a second position, in which the safety member allows the coupling member to be coupled to the drive member, the locking device locking the safety member in its first position when the container is uncoupled from the support and releasing the safety member when the container is coupled to the support. Thus, it is prevented that the tool can be driven by the drive member when the container is not coupled to the support, so that the user of the accessory cannot be injured by the rotating tool. In a preferred embodiment, the safety member is annular and completely surrounds the coupling member in its first position.

Title: Determination of frequency offsets in communication systems
Inventor: KREMM STEVEN A
IPC: H04B7/01
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining frequency offsets caused by oscillator error or Doppler effects in a user terminal (for example, a mobile wireless telephone) in a communication system. The system (100) includes at least one user terminal (124, 126) and a base station (112), or gateway (120, 122) for communicating with the user terminal (124, 126) through a satellite (116, 118) with predetermined known orbital positions or patterns. A communication signal (130, 132, 146, 148) is precorrected for known Doppler effects, such as between a gateway and a transferring satellite (146, 148), when used, and transmitted to a user terminal. The user terminal (124, 126) determines the signal frequency relative to a reference oscillator (240), and treats any detected difference as resulting completely from Doppler. The frequency difference is either transferred as data in reverse link transmissions (130, 132, 140, 142), or used as a pre-correction factor for such transmissions. The frequency of the reverse link user terminal signals is measured at the gateway (120, 122), again compensating for known Doppler effects, to provide a nominal error measurement. Measured frequency error or offsets are then divided in half to arrive at a Doppler shift error, or divided in half and scaled to the appropriate frequency to arrive at a user terminal oscillator error. The detected error can be transmitted to the user terminal (124, 126) for use in correcting the oscillator output frequency, or for adjusting the timing of, or time tracking for, the user terminal (124, 126). Alternatively, the detected error can be included as data in subsequent signals for use by gateways (120, 122) or base stations (112).

Title: Container transfer terminal system and method
Inventor: ARNTZEN JOHN
IPC: B63C5/00
Filed: 2001-06-20
Abstract: A terminal and system for the automatic computerized unloading of containerized cargo from container ships to trucks, railroad cars, other ships and storage. The terminal system is equipped to store or transfer unloaded cargo automatically by using independent container transfer vehicles. The cargo ships are moored between quays of a terminal building constructed in or adjacent to a waterway. Independent container transfer vehicles on an overhead transverse beam system lift a container up and away from a ship transfer to the elevated ground rail system without changing orientation, and then shuttle on elevated ground conveyance rails to other areas of the terminal to distribute the container to the pertinent transportation system (railcar, truck, another ship, or storage). Containers can also be unloaded from trucks and railroad cars and transported to a berthed ship utilizing the same transportation system. Remotely controlled docking modules may be used to guide an incoming ship into the quay and to assist in engaging the ship's hull onto a bow mooring assembly. Side fenders positioned in the quay moor the ship and maintain its position within the dock during cargo transfers. A rapid fueling system refuels the ships. The terminal can be located on land or offshore in any navigable waterway with either an access tunnel or a causeway for truck and rail access from land.

Title: Techniques for permitting access across a context barrier on a small footprint device using an entry point object
Inventor: JOSHUA SUSSER
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: A small footprint device can securely run multiple programs from unrelated vendors by the inclusion of a context barrier isolating the execution of the programs. The context barrier performs security checks to see that principal and object are within the same namespace or memory space and to see that a requested action is appropriate for an object to be operated upon. Each program or set of programs runs in a separate context. Access from one program to another program across the context barrier can be achieved under controlled circumstances by using an entry point object. The entry point object can either perform accesses across the context barrier on behalf of a requesting program or can pass the request to the program to be accessed and switch contexts to the program to be accessed.

Filed: 2004-01-27
Abstract: A data management and distribution system for an electronic program guide ("EPG") for television programs comprising an automated data collection subsystem, a manual entry and correction subsystem, a database validation subsystem, an edition generation subsystem, a configuration subsystem, and a status and control subsystem. The system may further comprise a feed generation subsystem if one of more of the EPG providers supported by the EPG distributor requires a live feed of data. The automated data collection subsystem collects EPG data from multiple source sin various formats, filters the data based on the needs of the EPG providers supported, and places the data in a centralised database in a form suitable to support the different environmental contexts of the EPG providers. The manual entry and correction subsystem permits the EPG distributor to make manual correction, additions, and deletion to the data stored in the database. The database validation subsystem verifies the data stored in the database in accordance with designated verification options. The edition generation subsystem generates the different editions of the PEG for the different EPG providers supported by the EPG distributor. The configuration subsystem receives information from the various EPG providers and furnishes this information to the other subsystems which utilise the information in performing their respective tasks. The status and control subsystem monitors the operation of the data management and distribution system as a whole. The various feeds and editions are then transmitted to the EPG providers by eg satellite, wire, cable, etc. The EPG providers receive the feeds and editions and use them to provide one or both of a dedicated channel EPG and interactive EPG to subscribers.
