Abstract: For load balancing in a wireless communication network comprising at least one subscriber terminal (T1, T2, T2) and a plurality of access points (AP1, AP2, AP3), a load control device (21; 110) is used which is located outside of said subscriber terminal, wherein said load control device is adapted to process information related to a load in said wireless communication network and to instruct roaming of said subscriber terminal from an associated access point to another one of said plurality of access points. Access point status information (APST) determined in said plurality of access points (S10; S110) is received and communication status information related to said plurality of access points (S20; S120) is determined. The subscriber terminal processes (S20; S120) these information into roaming support information (RSUP), which are in turn processed (S40; S160) in said load control device an access point related load based roaming analysis. On this basis, it is decided (S50; S170) by the load control device, whether said subscriber terminal is to be associated with another one of said plurality of access points.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing a metal strip, whereby molten is continuously poured between two casting rolls ( 1, 2 ) of a strip casting machine with rolls. Above the molten bath ( 4 ) and respectively proximate to the molten bath ( 5 ) casting rolls ( 1, 2 ) transition surface a rotating magnetic field is produced which generates, in the molten metal, local turbulent flows, so that a surface current is formed in said molten metal, which surface current is directed by the casting rolls ( 1, 2 ) towards the central plane (E) of the molten bath ( 4 ), that is towards the plane for output of the metal strip ( 8 ), thereby enabling to largely prevent supernatant impurities at the surface of the molten bath and oxides located on the surface of the rolls from being deposited, and the molten metal particles from being prematurely solidified.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lead-free soft solder, especially for use in electronic and electrical engineering. The aim of the invention is to provide a lead-free soft solder which does not tend to form coarse tin dentrides, has a smooth and homogeneous surface once melted and is suitable for the use as BGA balls. This aim is achieved by using a lead-free Sn-Ag-Cu solder alloy which comprises a base alloy composed of 5.0 to 20% by weight silver, 0.8 to 1.2 %lt by weight copper, remainder tin and usual impurities. To this base alloy, 0.8 to 1.2% by weight indium and 0.01 to 0.2% by weight nickel, or instead of nickel either 0.01 to 0.2% by weight germanium or 0.01 to 0.2% by weight of one of the elements of the lanthanoids such as for example lanthane or neodym are added. The last-mentioned three variants may be combined with one another or each other in the form of a prealloy in such a manner that the sum thereof is 0.01 to 0.2% by weight.

Abstract: When establishing a communications channel to a wireless network, through a wireless connection, a computerized device receives an Internet protocol (IP) address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server associated with the wireless network. The computerized device is configured with a table or list of IP addresses associated with wireless networks requiring a VPN or secure connection. The computerized device compares the IP address received from the DHCP server with the IP address entries of the table stored by the computerized device. If the computerized device detects a correspondence between the IP address received from the DHCP server and an IP address entry within the table, the computerized device automatically initiates a secure or VPN connection with the wireless network associated with the DHCP server. The computerized device therefore actively establishes a secure connection with the wireless network, prior to user login and without user intervention, based upon the computerized device being a client of the wireless network.

Abstract: An electronic tampering detection system is applied to a blank which can be formed into a package through the use of closure tabs which are coated with an electrically conductive adhesive. An electronic chip or CPU is applied to the blank and electrically conductive traces are printed or otherwise formed on the blank to connect the CPU to a first pair of the closure tabs to form an electric circuit. Other traces on the blank connect the first pair of closure tabs to the other closure tabs to form an enlarged circuit. The CPU has procedure memory, data memory, a power source, a clock and communication means associated therewith. If a package is opened accidentally or intentionally before it should be opened by way of the closure tabs the electric circuit is broken and a time stamp from the CPU clock is stored in the data memory for later retrieval. The circuit can be formed as resistances in parallel and an analog to digital converter can be used to provide an appropriate signal to the CPU. The electric circuit can cover a large portion of the blank's surface to provide a signal in the event of unauthorized penetration of the formed package.
