Abstract: The present invention provides a method for supporting sleep mode wake up in a home phone line network. The method includes: detecting a limited automatic repeat request (LARQ) header in a frame; stripping the LARQ header and a frame check sequence (FCS) in the frame; recalculating the FCS for the stripped frame; and adding the recalculated FCS to the stripped frame. The method strips the LARQ header from a HPNA frame before it is sent to an Ethernet controller. By stripping the LARQ header, the Ethernet controller will correctly find the set byte location for the wake pattern and attempts to match the bit pattern with the wake pattern. In this manner, sleep mode wake up is supported.

Title: A method for accounting cost for network content delivery
Inventor: STACKWOOD STEPHEN RICHARD
IPC: H04L12/14
Filed: 2002-06-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a billing apparatus (BA), a billing
method and a content data provision control system (SYS) for
cases in which no pre-agreed commercial relationships needs
to exist between a content data provider (CDP') and a
telecommunications operator (TO). The content data provider
(CDP') provides characteristics information (CIN) about one
or more data sets (DS1, DS2, DSn) requested by an end user
terminal (EP) to a billing apparatus (BA). The
telecommunications operator (TO) provides tariffing
information (TI) to the billing apparatus (BA). A calculating
device (CALC) in the billing apparatus (BA) calculates
billing information (BI) on the basis of the characteristics
information (CIN) and the tariffing information (TI). Thus,
the billing apparatus (BA) can provide billing information
(BI) in a flexible and dynamic manner and the billing
information (BI) can be output to the content data provider
(CDP'), the telecommunications operator (TO) and the end user
terminal (EP) by an outputting device (OUT) before the actual
data set provision by the content data provider (CDP') takes
place. Also, if the characteristics of the data set to be
delivered are not within the thresholds of those negotiated
the billing apparatus can prohibit the data set delivery to
the telecommunications operator. The invention finds
particular application for billing of third party content
delivery delivered to end-users of telecommunications
operators.

Abstract: Device for maintaining overpressure in a liquid-filled
container, in which the temperature of the liquid, so its
volume, and the external pressure to which the container is
subjected, can vary. The overpressure serves for keeping
water out and should have a reasonably constant value in

cover define an expansion space which is connected to the
container. At least one spring (19, 20) pushes the upper
cover towards the foot portion so that the oil in the expansion
space and the container is kept under a certain over-pressure.
