Title: Methods and apparatus for providing consistency in sms message timestamp formatting for mobile communication devices
Inventor: ISLAM M KHALEDUL
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2003-12-12
Granted: 2010-03-16
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing consistency in Short Message Service (SMS) timestamp formatting (UTC or non-UTC) for mobile communication devices are disclosed. In one illustrative example, a method involves receiving an SMS  message intended for a mobile communication device; identifying whether the SMS message has timestamp data formatted in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format or non-UTC format; converting the timestamp data from the UTC format to a non-UTC time format based on an identification that the SMS message has timestamp data formatted in the UTC format; failing to convert the timestamp data to a non-UTC time format based on an identification that the SMS message has timestamp data in the non-UTC format; and causing the SMS message to be sent to the mobile communication device. Other techniques involve mobile device usage of a removable user identity module which has a stored indicator in memory which is indicative of a timestamp mode of operation of a home message center as one of a coordinated universal time (UTC) mode and a non~-UTC mode.

Title: System and method for transferring blanks
Inventor: GIFFIN BRIAN P
IPC: B65G47/31
Filed: 2004-06-03
Granted: 2012-08-07
Abstract: A system and method for transferring blanks of material (50) passing from a feeder line to a production line along differing conveyor segments. The production line moves at a higher velocity than the feeder line. Just as a blank is about to transfer from the feeder line (26) to the production line (30), the feeder line is rapidly accelerated to substantially match the velocity of the production line. This assures a smooth, even, and accurate transfer. Near the end of the transfer, the feeder line is decelerated. Thus, the transferred blank is now moving at a higher velocity (VI) than the next (V2) adjacent blank.

Abstract: A method and a device for separation, in particular oil, gas and water, in connection with the extraction of such a fluid from formations under the surface of the earth or the sea bed. The fluid is transported in a supply pipe or transport pipe (4) to a separator (1) in the form of a tubular separator body, a gravitation tank or similar. The separated components, water and oil, are passed out of the separator separately via outlet pipes (not shown). The fluid upstream of the separator (1) is subjected to shear forces so that the drops in the supply flow are tarn up to form drops that are so small that the interface generally becomes new and "uncontaminated" by surfactants. The shear forces are supplied by means of a phase inversion device (6) in the form of a valve or similar. Water can expediently be added to the fluid upstream of the phase inversion device (6) to achieve the desired phase inversion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for combining the operating modes of individual rolling frames in a tandem cold rolling mill comprising respective pairs of working rolls (10) and back-up rolls (12) in 4-roll frames and in addition a pair of intermediate rolls (11) in 6-roll frames, at least the working rolls (10) and the intermediate rolls (11) interacting with devices for axial displacement. Said method is characterised by a combination of the following technologies: use of CVC/CVCplus technology with CVC roll contours of a higher order, where each working/intermediate roll (10, 11) comprises a roll surface that is extended by the amount of the travel displacement; use of Pair Cross (PC) technology, whereby each working/intermediate roll (10, 11) can be pivoted parallel to the strip plane; use of strip-edge oriented displacement of the working/intermediate rolls (10, 11), each of the latter (10, 11) having a roll surface that is extended by the amount of the travel displacement, with a cylindrical or spherical section and said rolls being displaced symmetrically against one another relative to the neutral displacement position (sZW = 0 and sAW = 0) in the centre of the frame (Y-Y) by an identical amount in the direction of their rotational axes (X-X). The method is also characterised in that the CVC/CVCplus technology, the strip-edge oriented displacement technology and optionally the PC technology can be achieved using a suitable plant concept with a single geometrically identical set of rolls.
