Abstract: In a communications network, a first address information is transmitted from a first communication terminal equipment to a first switching node for setting up a communication connection, whereby first identification features are contained in the first address information. The first switching node interprets the first address information with the first identification features and derives a second address information for addressing a first address converter therefrom. At least parts of the first identification features are communicated to the first address converter. Second identification features are generated from the first identification features, said second identification features serving the purpose of addressing a second switching node. The communication connection between the first and second switching node is set up with the second identification features.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the in vitro preparation of starting materials for micropropagation and/or storage of germplasm, comprising the steps of contacting plant material with a microorganism that induces fasciation and/or one or more fasciation-inducing factors derived from the microorganism or derived from the infected and/or fasciated tissue; developing leafy galls or shoot outgrowths on the plant material; and isolating the leafy galls or shoot outgrowths as the starting materials. This method may be used for the in vitro micropropagation of plants, which further comprises the steps of eliminating or inactivating the microorganism that induces fasciation and/or the one or more fasciation-related factors derived from the microorganism or derived from the infected and/or fasciated tissue; culturing the leafy gall or shoot outgrowths in or on one or more suitable culture media to allow shoot and root development for obtaining plantlets; and transferring the plantlets thus obtained, optionally after acclimatization, to conventional growing conditions to obtain regenerated plants. The method may also be used for the preservation of plants or germplasm, which is further characterized by the step of storing the leafy galls or shoot outgrowths under growth limiting conditions.

Abstract: When implementing services compiled of service independent building blocks (SIB) in an intelligent network, the SIB parameters to be relayed in computer instructions are replaced with a global data structure, whereby no parameters at all are transferred in the instruction call. Having no parameters means that each SIB receives the parameters it needs from one global variable. The global variable is visible to all SIBs, whereby each individual SIB fetches the parameters it requires from it. As regards some SIBs it is rather certain that they will remain unchanged and thus really service independent, but for some there is no such certainty, and for this reason the SIBs may be divided logically into two groups: assisting and performing SIBs respectively. Parameters of the performing SIBs are not relayed in the sub-programme call, but in one or several global data structure variables. The global variable is some data structure which is suitable for the purpose and in the fields of which the assisting SIBs place their information and from the fields of which the performing SIBs fetch the information they need. In the placing and fetching of information reference is made to a field of the data structure with the aid of an unambiguous field identifier. In addition, use of the information is conditional so that the information will be used only if the information differs from a certain initialisation value. In this way it is ensured that the building blocks (SIB) to be used in the implementation of telecommunication services in an intelligent network are service independent.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for the titration and circulation of gases to determine metal hydride storing properties, with improved response time, greater dynamic range in terms of the usable amount of powder and the maximum pressure accessible and increased sensitivity. The invention also concerns a circulating apparatus considerably reducing the time for analysing and determining the properties of absorbent and adsorbent materials during a large number of adsorption-desorption cycles. Both sets of apparatus are provided with a reference tube inside their oven, near the sample-holder. Said sample-holder tube and reference tube are connected on either side of the differential pressure sensor, thereby considerably enhancing the overall performance of the titration system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré permettant d'effectuer la synthèse de l'urée à partir de l'ammoniaque et du dioxyde de carbone, en utilisant un condenseur placé verticalement ou horizontalement, afin d'éviter la corrosion des zones dans lesquelles la plaque tubulaire du condenseur se rattache aux tuyaux de refroidissement et où il y a contact avec un condensat. Spécifiquement, l'invention concerne un procédé qui consiste à séparer l'ammoniaque et le dioxyde de carbone que la réaction n'a pas altérés, sous forme de mélange gazeux combinant les deux, en travaillant à partir d'une solution de synthèse de l'urée sous une pression pratiquement égale à celle de la synthèse de l'urée, puis en mettant le mélange gazeux au contact d'un absorbant dans un condenseur, via un tuyau de synthèse de l'urée, de manière à préparer l'urée. Dans l'opération, les zones où la plaque tubulaire du condenseur se rattache aux tuyaux de refroidissement et où il y a contact avec le condensat sont recouvertes d'ammoniaque ou d'un liquide riche en ammoniaque, ce qui permet de protéger lesdites zones contre la corrosion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a base station (1, 10, 20) and a mobile terminal (40, 50, 60) as well as a communication method for communicating in a wireless radio communication system. Thereby, the information is transmitted and received in medium access control frames of the communication system, whereby the transmission power of at least a broadcast control channel and a frame control channel in a respective medium access control frame transmitted by a base station is increased after certain time intervals to an increased transmission power level as compared to the transmission power level of other medium access control frames transmitted during said time intervals. The transmission of at least a broadcast control channel and a frame control channel with significantly increased power levels from time to time allows new mobile terminals trying to gain access to a base station to connect with this base station even if the effectively used transmission power is reduced on the basis of the transmission conditions of already connected mobile terminals. <IMAGE>
