Abstract: Friction disk consists of a ceramic composite material reinforced with carbon fibers with a covering surface formed as the friction surface. At least one part of the friction surface consists of a further material, especially a carbon-containing material. The further material has a low wear and oxidation resistance than the ceramic composite material of the remaining friction surface and the support zone of the friction disk. The unbalanced mass of the friction disk at a mass loss of 50 % of the elements of the further material impairs the balance quality by at least 5 %. An Independent claim is also included for a process for the production of a friction disk comprising inserting elements of the further material into recesses of a friction disk made from the ceramic composite material. Preferred Features: The ceramic composite material is made from a ceramic reinforced with carbon fibers and containing a matrix made from silicon carbide, silicon and carbon. The further material contains carbon in the form of graphite, fine grain carbon, carbon fiber mat, carbon fiber fleece or carbon reinforced with carbon fibers.

Abstract: In a telecommunication system, adapted to provide subscriber related services, a layered architecture including on a service layer a network side service executor and a user terminal service handler is employed. A call is triggered through a user interface provided by the service handler, which conveys a call set-up request and information to the service executor. The service executor communicates directly with a corresponding service executor at a service layer of a destination system and exchanges service information to detect a service interaction problem. A requested call can be established by other signalling and media handler functions when no essential service interaction problem is detected.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for coding successive pitch periods of a speech signal. Based on a priori knowledge of statistical properties of successive speech periods, a shaped lattice structure is designed to cover the most probable points in the pitch space. The codebook index search starts with finding an open-loop estimate in the pitch space considering all dimensions and refining the open-loop estimate in a closed-loop search separately in each dimension based on the shaped lattice structure. The closed-loop search for the first subframe is for obtaining an absolute pitch period or a delta pitch while the closed-loop search for each of the other subframes is for obtaining a delta pitch for the respective subframe.
