Title: Messaging system for managing
Inventor: ROMPPANEN TIMO
IPC: H04W76/02
Filed: 2007-06-25
Granted: 2008-07-16
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a messaging system for managing communications resources and are particularly suitable for providing a means for subscribers of a telecommunications network to continue participating in a communications service that would otherwise be ended due to the calling party having a low or zero balance.  Embodiments of the invention are generally applicable to users of a mobile network and provide a messaging system for use by the telecommunications network to transmit a message to a remote party, where the remote party is identified by means of a telephone calling identifier associated with a call setup request for a telecommunications session received from a user of the telecommunications network. The messaging system comprises a storage system for storing data providing a predetermined definition of message content to be sent to the remote party. In response to trigger event such as determining that the account balance available for said user participating in the requested communications session is below a predetermined threshold, the messaging system is arranged to initiate the transmission of a message to said remote party. The transmitted message contains message content that is defined at least in part by said definition of message content and can comprise a "call me message". This thereby ensures that a "call me" message reaches the remote party.

Title: Method and apparatus for inducing immunological and resistant response in mammary glands
IPC: A61D7/00
Filed: 1979-05-04
Granted: 1982-12-01
Abstract: Process and apparatus (see figure 2) are provided for stimulating immune resistance by the introduction of at least one relatively small solid non-toxic substantially non-biodegradable body (22), having nonspecific antigenic action, into each gland cistern of the udder. The body is sufficiently flexible or elastic and of a shape so as to be capable of being shaped into a form small enough to be inserted into the gland cistern through the lactiferous duct and then reformed to its original shape which inhibits its passage from the gland cistern into the teat cistern. The continued presence of the non-specific antigenic body induces immune resistance including an increase in the number and activity of phagocytic cells, particularly leukocyte cells, in the udder.The continued presence of these increased numbers of activated phagocytic cells provides protection against bacterial invasion through the streak canal without degrading milk quality

Title: Ribbed constructional assembly for heat transfer in heat exchangers
IPC: F28F13/00
Filed: 1980-06-25
Granted: 1983-05-18
Abstract: A ribbed construction assembled from sheet metal bands for improved heat transfer, suitably built into the pipes of heat exchangers forms the arrangement of the invention. The ribbed construction assembled from toothed metal bands ensures the improved heat transfer primarily by slowing down the velocity of the medium flowing in the center of the pipe; furthermore it improves the temperature distribution of the flowing medium by means of metallic contact and mixing. Although the ribs are easily movable in the pipe, a significant portion of the tooth-ends is in loose contact with the inner pipe wall, which likewise improves the heat transfer.
