Abstract: When a gateway server GWS receives an access demand to an IP server from a cellular phone MS via a mobile packet communication network MPN, the gateway server acquires information corresponding to a hostname included in the access demand from a primary conversion table T1. When the obtained information is a wide area IP address, gateway server GWS relays the access demand to a IP server on the Internet INET on the basis of the wide area IP address. When the obtained information is identification of a closed area network, gateway server GWS further acquires a closed area IP address corresponding to the hostname included in the access demand and relays the access demand to a IP server on the basis of the closed area IP address in the LAN corresponding to the identification of the closed area network.

Title: Spray can
Inventor: SCHNEIDER HEINZ
IPC: B65D83/16
Filed: 2001-08-03
Abstract: The invention relates to an aerosol can comprising a valve head (12) having a valve. Said valve head is formed by a valve dome (16) and a fixing collar (1 8) which surrounds the dome at a radial distance. The valve is operated by downward pressure from a rotatable spray head (22) arranged on a tappet (20) . The aim of the invention is to provide rotating buffers for an operating position and a closing position of the spray head (22) without taking any particular measures in terms of the valve plate (12) or the can body (10). I n order to achieve this, a buffer ring (30) is arranged in a rotationally fixe d manner in the ring chamber between the valve dome (16) and the collar (18). Said buffer ring (30) comprises lamellae on the outer circumference thereof in order to be able to adapt to various material strengths of the valve plate (12), is compressed with an interference fit in the collar, and has a cam track (36) comprising at least one recess and extending along the circumference. The spray head (22) is formed with, or connected to, at least  one cam (46, 48). Said cam co-operates with rotating buffer surfaces (56) on  the buffer ring (30), and only enables downward pressure of the spray head (22) in co-operation with the cam strip (36) when the cam (46) is positioned  over the recess.
