Abstract: A method of displaying a map on a wireless communications device includes steps of obtaining map data for rendering the map to be displayed on the wireless communications device, generating corrected map data by applying a spherical correction factor to the obtained map data, and rendering the corrected map data to display the map on a display of the wireless communications device. The spherical correction factor corrects for map distortions that occur at northerly (or southerly) latitudes. Since the spherical correction factor is a simple correction to a 3X3 transformation matrix, this spherical correction can be easily applied without taxing the CPU limitations of small handheld devices.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a transparent conductive film containing carbon nanotubes and a binder, in which the carbon nanotubes are subjected to acid treatment, dispersion in a solvent, mixing with the binder, and application on the substrate, and to a transparent conductive film manufactured thereby. The method includes subjecting carbon nanotubes having an outer diameter of less than 15 nm to acid treatment to thus purify and surface functionalize them, followed by dispersing the treated carbon nanotubes in a solvent along with the binder, or mixing a carbon nanotube solution using a polar or nonpolar solvent with a binder solution, and applying the mixture on the substrate. Through the application of the mixture of treated carbon nanotubes and binder on the substrate, the transparent conductive film has improved transparency, electrical conductivity, dispersibility, substrate adhesiveness, chemical stability, durability and scratch resistance, and can be applied to various substrates, including hard or flexible substrates, thanks to high substrate adhesiveness and applicability. A solution in which the surface functionalized carbon nanotubes are well dispersed is prepared, thus facilitating the manufacture of the film using various materials and generating economic benefits.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to implement media gateway internal connection. The MGC obtains the MG's capability of supporting an internal connection via audit or configuration. Based on the obtained capability, the MGC determines and controls the implementation of the internal connection, or the MG determines and controls the implementation of the internal connection itself. If the MG determines and controls the implementation of the internal connection itself, the MG informs the MGC to modify the call mode in the MGC into the same as in the MG, or maps between the respective operations for the MGC and the MG after the MG implements the internal connection. The MGC and the MG with different connecting capability can cooperate with each other and achive the benefit from the internal connection to the furthest extent. The MGC can also control the MG's capability of determining and realizing the internal connection based on the service characteristics.

Abstract: The apparatus for preventing fluctuations in a digitally produced output clock signal contains a digital clock generator (19), a buffer (29), a filling-level measuring device (28) and a regulator (21). The buffer (29) stores a digital signal received with an input clock signal and outputs it with an output clock signal. The filling-level measuring device (28) measures the filling level of the buffer (29). The regulator (21) uses the filling level of the buffer (29) to regulate the frequency of the digitally produced output clock signal. The discrepancy between the input clock signal and the output clock signal is the disturbance variable for the regulation. The apparatus also contains a compensation device (16) which performs an additional coarse estimation of the disturbance variable for the regulation and uses it to pre-compensate for the output clock signal.

Abstract: First, a sending station 7 transmits to a registration station 6 a registration request including a telecommunications address such as a URL or telephone number for later use; the registration station 6 allocates a security code to the address, stores a database entry containing the address and security code and sends the security code to the sending station 7. When the sending station 7 wishes to send a message that includes the telecommunications address, it also includes the security code. A station 2 receiving the message sends a verification request containing the telecommunications address and the security code to a verification station 6 which determines whether there is a database entry that matches the telecommunication address and security code and if so, sends a clearance notification to the receiving station 2. The receiving station may prohibit, or at least warn against, communication with the address until such time at clearance is received.
