Abstract: A method for indicating a mobile station's (MS) location. A first radio network controller, RNC, acts as the mobile station's serving RNC (SRNC), for reporting the mobile station's location to the core network (CN). A second RNC acts as the mobile station's drift RNC (DRNC), for maintaining a radio connection with the mobile station. In response to fulfilment of at least one criterion in a first set of criteria, the mobile station (MS) sends location information about its location to the second RNC (DRNC) which forwards the location information to the first RNC (SRNC) for reporting to the core network (CN). There is also a second set of criteria for transforming the location information. In response to fulfilment of at least one criterion in the second set, the first RNC (SRNC) sends falsified information about the mobile station's location to the core network (CN).

Granted: 2007-09-18
Abstract: The technical field of the invention is that of pre-filled and disposable needleless syringes, used for intradermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections of liquid active principle for therapeutic use in human and veterinary medicine. The inventive syringes ( 1 ) are mainly characterized in that they function with a pyrotechnic charge ( 6 ) consisting of a mixture of powder with high burning rate and a powder with low burning rate. Indeed, the combustion of the powder with a high burning rate enables to communicate instantly, through a piston ( 3 ), a very high speed to the active principle ( 4 ), whereas the combustion of the powder with a low burning rate enables to maintain a threshold pressure level to proceed with the injection, so as to ensure that the active principle ( 4 ) penetrates through the skin. Thus, the injection is properly and homogeneously without any loss of active liquid ( 4 ).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un produit de papier enroulé et emboîté, constitué d'une feuille dans laquelle on a formé des parties en relief et en creux. Les zones en creux peuvent comprendre des formes carrées, rondes ou d'autres formes géométriques pouvant s'aligner ou s'emboîter par alignement lorsque la feuille est enroulée pour former un produit enroulé de diamètre réduit. On emploie un feutre de séchage par air traversant, à gonflant volumineux, pour imprimer un motif assez épais dans la feuille de manière à faire s'emboîter les portions en relief, ce qui permet d'obtenir un produit plus compact possédant un diamètre de rouleau moindre. Des rainures ou gorges formées dans la feuille peuvent s'aligner les unes sur les autres lors de l'enroulement de la feuille. Le produit enroulé résultant peut être du papier toilette, du papier essuie-tout, ou d'autres produits similaires de papier. Le produit final en rouleau possède un diamètre de rouleau minimal pour une longueur de rouleau déterminée.
