Abstract: During tool closure, and before a stretching plug(15) contacts the film(18), the end face(21) of the film clamp(12) makes a first stroke movement onto the film. Clamp movement is controled by force and applies low tensioning force to the film. The stretching plug then moves forwards to stretch the film. During the latter movement the film clamp makes a further forward movement to compensate for film thickness reduction due to stretching and thus forms a container edge(20) of required thickness.

Abstract: A compression tool with a three-dimensional structure is used to press a metal foil(3) onto a supporting part(2). The level of press pressure is selected so that the tool structure is transferred through the metal foil into the supporting part to form a composite product(1). When a wood based panel forms the supporting part(2) an adhesive layer is applied between the metal foil(3) and the panel. An alternative non-wood based supporting part can be a polymer adhesive or resin layer. Pressing creates a regular or irregular structure, preferably a waveform or grooved structure. Metal foils may be anodized, coated or printed on the surface. An independent claim is included for a structured composite product comprising a supporting part and a metal foil and a three-dimensional structure(4) extends through the metal foil into the supporting part.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of modifying policy settings in an electronic device. An embodiment includes a plurality of access stations, each capable of wirelessly transmitting across a geographic region. A mobile electronic device, capable of roaming between regions is operable to establish a wireless link with the access stations. The device is owned by an office which sets communication policies determining through which access stations mobile device can place voice calls. This policy is stored on an office server as a database and periodically transmitted to the device as the device makes contact with the office server over the internet. Hence, the device maintains a copy of this policy database. When placing a voice call, the device first determines which access station is serving the region it is located in and then determines whether it is allowed to place a call through that access station using its policy database.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil de transmission/réception (2) permettant de transmettre un signal radio à un endoscope en forme de capsule. Cet appareil comprend un système de définition du niveau de transmission (25) situé à proximité d’un circuit de transmission de la résonance (22) ; un système de contrôle de fréquence (26) qui module la fréquence d’oscillation en fonction du résultat déterminé par le système de définition du niveau de transmission ; et un oscillateur à fréquence variable (16) dont la fréquence d'oscillation varie en fonction du système de contrôle de la fréquence (26). La fréquence d’oscillation varie ainsi de manière à augmenter le niveau de transmission ; la fréquence d’oscillation peut donc varier de manière à réduire l’écart entre la fréquence d’oscillation et la fréquence de résonance du circuit de résonance (22), modulé selon la variation du coefficient d’induction propre de la bobine (24), ce qui annule la baisse d’efficacité de la transmission.

Abstract: A micro-electromechanical device has a substrate (10), a movable element, movable towards the substrate by electrostatic forces on electrodes, facing surfaces of the movable element and the substrate being shaped such that one or more venting channels (VC) are defined by the facing surfaces when they are in a closed position, configured to enable fluid between the facing surfaces to flow across the facing surfaces, to enter or exit the area between the facing surfaces. Such channels can enable fluid damping of the movement of the moveable element to be controlled. Increasing the flow entering or exiting the area between the facing surfaces, can reduce such damping, and hence increase speed of opening and closing of the device. The channels can connect to holes in the electrodes.

Abstract: A method, or corresponding apparatus, assumes a call is a Voice Band Data (VBD) call. The method disables a local echo canceller and transmits a tone that disables distal echo canceller(s) along a communications path across which the call is communicated. After disabling the echo cancellers, the echo cancellers are allowed to operate in a typical manner, such as according to ITU standards, after the call is established, including remaining disabled if the call is a Voice Band Data call and being automatically enabled if the call is or becomes a voice call. The method or apparatus is particularly useful in networks having Point of Service (POS) devices that have modems that do not send out a 2100 Hz tone to disable echo cancelling in the communications path. In one embodiment, the method or corresponding apparatus is deployed in a gateway.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described to address the need for an apparatus and method that improves link layer handoff by addressing the packet-loss problem existing today. An intermediate buffer management layer (IBML) (201, 211) is introduced below layer 3 of an OSI-based communications interface. The IBML buffers copies of OSI layer 3 packets being transmitted via lower layers (205, 215) of the interface and manages the buffer contents using indications the IBML receives from one or more of the lower layers. When the IBML receives an indication that a link layer hard handoff is proceeding, the IBML transfers the presently buffered packets to a corresponding IBML (202, 212) in the target communications interface. This sub-layer 3 buffer transfer enables the target communications interface to reduce packet-loss associated with the hard handoff.

Abstract: A vibratory transducer for medical application is disclosed. The vibratory transducer has an armature suspended in a magnetic field. The armature has a plurality of electrical conductive paths to provide electrical current flow in said armature to react with said magnetic field and cause movement in the armature controlled by variation in the electrical current flow. A contact surface is secured to the armature, with a surface area for frictionally coupling to a corresponding surface area of a patient for example. Movement of the vibratory transducer induces movement in the patient, and the transducer can produce movement in the contact surface in at least two dimensions simultaneously. A plurality of compartments, that are adapted to surround and closely conform to a limb of the patient, are able to apply a pressure stimulus at particular locations around the limb. Medical application can include treatment of bone fractures, oedema, and in elastography, amongst other applications.
