Patent BR-9915640-A (BR)
Inventor: SENN PAUL
IPC: H04W8/12
Filed: 1999-11-24
Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods that operate to provide seamless roaming to a prepaid subscriber in as many markets as possible. To that end, the systems of the invention include a location register (LR) that can determine the type, or class, of serving market with which the roaming subscriber is registering. Once the class of the serving market is identified, the LR can modify a subscriber's profile as a function of this class, and return to the serving market a profile that will allow the serving market to employ the prepaid platform that services the subscriber and thereby provide services to the roaming subscriber. In optional embodiments, the LR may also respond to location requests from the prepaid platform. The location information may be employed by the subscriber to determine a rate structure for a call, and thereby decrement the subscriber's balance as a function of, at least in part, the location of the roaming subscriber.

IPC: H02M3/158
Filed: 1999-03-04
Abstract: A switching DC to DC voltage converter comprises a controller and preferably an inductor (116 fig 4) such that the output load voltage of the regulator is set according to a set-point and a sample and hold circuit (340 fig 4). The load (102 fig 4) is a CPU microprocessor and the load voltage is the core voltage supplied to that CPU. The CPU can be placed in either an active state or a stop-clock state, and the controller circuit acts such that the core voltage set-point decreases when the CPU moves from the stop-clock state to the active state. The sample and hold circuit acts to decrease the set-point of the controller if an average of current flowing through the inductor increases.

Title: Method of manufacturing a mat
Inventor: HEDLEY TERENCE MICHAEL
IPC: B29C65/00
Filed: 2002-10-31
Abstract: A mat comprises a top layer of highly plasticised PVC, 4, a backing layer of rubber 6 and an optional intermediate layer of woven polyester. During manufacture the top layer and optional intermediate layer are placed on a backing layer of uncured rubber and the layers are then laminated together in a heated press between woven PTFE release sheets. The application of temperature and pressure cures the rubber during lamination. The PVC layer may be perforated to allow gas escape during lamination. The PTFE release sheets may be finely woven to reduce surface texturing of the finished mat. The finished mat may passed through heated rollers, or subjected to additional pressing in a heated press, to further reduce surface texturing. The mats are launderable and stated to be used for trapping dust and/or bacteria, for example in a clean room environment.
