Patent CA-2411999-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YASUDA YOSHIYUKI
IPC: H04B7/12
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.

Title: A device to audibly express impedance measurement
Inventor: LAWRENCE CLIFTON
IPC: H01P5/08
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: An Audio Feedback Impedance Comparison Device to audibly express Impedance differences between / amongst components, circuits, materials, substances etc., to make use of the aural sense, while relieving eye, neck and mental strain, as well as reduce probe time. This is achieved by allowing simultaneous yet focused attention to be paid to all aspects of an impedance probe, i.e. hand-eye coordination of probe positioning, while aurally monitoring the feedback, instead of the common practices / methods where eyes have to be re-focused on visual feedback devices. The use of an alternating signal, allows "through" comparison, where multiple components some of which are impervious to static signal, contribute to overall impedance. The device can be used to inject and / or detect / trace the presence of an audio signal in an active circuit. With the aid of transducers, this Device may be used with other forms of energy.

Filed: 2003-04-16
Abstract: A source node, along with transmitting an optical path setup request, notifies towards a destination node available resource information related to itself, pre-assigns the available resources which its own node has notified. Each of transit nodes, along with relaying towards the destination node the optical path setup request which has been received from a previous hop node, notifies towards the destination node available resource information related to itself, and pre-assigns the available resources which each of their own nodes has notified. The destination node, along with reserving a resource which is to be used for setting up an optical path based upon an optical path setup request which has been received, transmits a resource reservation request towards the source node. The transit nodes and the source node actually reserve an available resource which has been pre-assigned, based upon a resource reservation request from a next hop node.
