Abstract: An encryption step 67 is used to obtain the feature change code to provide additional security and a decryption step 68 performs the reverse of the operation in step 67. The communication device also generates its own authorization key, step 69, using the same information and the non-reversible operation used in the authorization step 66. The calculation key is compared with the authorization key decrypted from the received unlock code to determine whether or not to implement the feature change. Independent claims are included for a device with software code and for a method and apparatus for authorizing changes in features.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method
and a device for monitoring insulation faults between a DC
bus and earth or a protective metal enclosure. The method
is based on the principle of consecutively connecting two
different electrical networks to a DC source (1), measuring
at least two values (V1', V2'), one related to each
network, calculating resistance values (R1, R2)
representative of the insulation quality, comparing said
values to alarm levels, and taking alarm action, in
particular disconnecting the source (1), if these alarm
levels are reached. The invention is equally related to a
device for performing the method, said device comprising a
switch (6). Both conditions 'on' or 'off' correspond to
one of the two electrical networks connected to the source
(1).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for allocating and using a finite resource to transmit wireless information signals to a plurality of subscriber units is disclosed. Individual subscriber units transmit data rate requests to serving base stations. The data rate requests and weight values associated with each subscriber unit are compared (758) in order to select a subscriber unit as the recipient of data transmitted through the finite resource at any given time. To maximize throughput without starving any single subscriber unit, the method includes calculation and comparison of a desirability metric (766) in choosing a subscriber unit from among a subset of the plurality of subscriber units having comparable weight values.

Abstract: A method for determining the centroid of a wafer target. In one embodiment, the method comprises a series of steps in a stepper, starting with the step of receiving a wafer, having a target set formed therein. Next, a signal is passed over the target set and over a material separating target shapes in the target set. Then a return signal is reflected, and received, from the surface of the target shapes and the material separating them. A location of at least one maxima point of the return signal is identified. Finally, a centroid is determined as the median of the locations of at least one maxima point.

Abstract: New, useful and surprisingly effective antiscorch compositions for utilization within polyurethane foam production methods which utilize very popular tertiary amine catalysts are provided. Such compositions require the presence of nominal yet effective amounts of organic cyclic ester materials. The ring systems of such materials appear to open during exposure to heat (during the curing process) and release carboxylic acids into the curing formulation. The tertiary amines become quenched by the carboxylic acids and thus do not exhibit heat destabilization. The resultant foams exhibit extremely low, if no, areas of excessive heating (i.e., scorch) and thus are substantially uniformly colored throughout. The processes and resultant foams are also contemplated within this invention.

Abstract: Method and system for determining and verifying derivative contracts from party relationships. Parties (2, 6, 6') enter into exchange-of-value transactions by offer and acceptance of contract terms that provide for an exchange of value. Parties in these transactions are value chain participants (6, 6'), with a plurality of express and implied contractual relationships among the participants of the value chain. The present invention determines the derivative contract terms for offer and acceptance of exchange-of-value transactions based on relationships between value chain participants. Reference services (4, 4', 4'') derive the contract terms by determining the relationships between parties and then applying rules to these relationships in order to generate the contract terms. The present invention is particularly applicable in the area of e-commerce transactions, where a plurality of complex relationships creates complex business transactions. Thus, in the area of the purchase of audio and video content through electronic media, as well as the purchase of products via web sites, reference services are able to derive the contractual terms for such purchases and include them in a purchase agreement, thereby protecting the rights and duties of value chain participants that are involved in the transaction.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système (figure 3) de surveillance du pourcentage de la durée de vie restante d'un filtre d'un ensemble filtres (18) ou de dispositifs ventilateurs à filtres. Le système utilise un seul thermistor (RT1) qui fonctionne selon deux modes distincts pour surveiller l'ensemble filtres. Le thermistor (RT1) est placé dans le flux d'air du dispositif ventilateur à filtre (2) jouxtant la sortie d'air. Un premier courant est appliqué au thermistor (RT1) afin de déterminer la température du flux d'air à partir d'une première tension du thermistor. La première tension du thermistor réagit au premier courant appliqué au thermistor. Un second courant, supérieur au premier, est appliqué afin de chauffer le thermistor. La température du thermistor est déterminée à partir de la seconde tension du thermistor, laquelle réagit au second courant appliqué au thermistor. Le pourcentage de la durée de vie restante d'un filtre de l'ensemble filtres est déterminé à partir de la température du flux d'air et de la seconde tension du thermistor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method to enhance the RACH message transmission of a wireless communication systems. Therefore the known RACH procedure for uplink transmission is extended by additional steps in order to allow the usage of adaptive transmission parameters for uplink transmissions, preferably the usage of adaptive modulation and coding (AMC). This is advantageous because studies in high-speed downlink packet access show the possibility to increase the data rate of a downlink shared channel. The method according to the invention introduces a new RACH message preamble and enables the base station to estimate suitable adaptive transmission parameters like an AMC setting according to the current transmission conditions which are used during the RACH message transmission.
