Abstract: The objective of this invention is to provide a system which could make general use of a large set of previously accumulated knowledge data and provide an optimal solution for a problem based on these knowledge data. To achieve the aforesaid objectives, this invention uses state space navigator logic. The fundamental capability of a state space navigator is finding the optimal route in a state space to get from the current state to the target state. A state space is a space whose axes are a number of state variables. The points in this space represent the characteristic states of a system. The actual action from a state space to the next state space is determined according to the knowledge data base which was made based on an actual experience etc..

Abstract: The present invention is related to LoCation Services (LCS) in General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). Because the specification of LCS was missing in the first versions of the technical specifications of GPRS, but already introduced in the GSM specifications, there will be a number of MSs having LCS capabilities when attached to circuit switched serving nodes (MSCs) but not when attached to packet switched serving nodes (SGSNs). When a location request for one such MS attached to both an MSC and an SGSN is directed to the SGSN first, an error may occur. The present invention discloses a method solving this problem by informing the associated HLR if the MS supports location service in packet switched mode or not at the time the MS attaches the network. The information is stored in the HLR, and when the location service node in the network receives a location request for that MS, the location node invokes the HLR for the information. If the MS does not support location service in packet switched mode, the HLR informs the location service node to firstly request the MS attached MSC for the location of the MS.

Abstract: The development of a machining process of spherical surfaces and the device for its realization, integrated by a uniform intention of the invention, is put as a basis of the claimed invention. <??>A modification of the scheme of machining is ensured by a realization of tool feeding for penetration into the workpiece material by a force, acting in an offered direction. This mechanism allows increasing contact pressure in those points of a machined surface at a distance from an axis of rotation and consequently (as well as the cutting velocity) is promptly diminished to zero. Thus, creating conditions of contact pressure redistribution allows completely or partly a modification of the cutting velocity at the various contact points, leading to levelling a velocity of oversize removal at the profile of a workpiece and increasing of the exactitude and efficiency of machining process. Furthermore, the possibility of machining spherical workpieces having height of the spherical surface exceeding its radius may be attained more efficiently, compared to existing ones. <IMAGE>

Ledit procédé consiste à former sur la surface, au moyen d'un procédé d'impression par transfert thermique de colorants, une première image constituée d'un premier colorant fluorescent; et à former sur la première image, au moyen d'un procédé d'impression par transfert thermique de colorants, une seconde image superposée constituée d'un second colorant fluorescent, les premier et second colorants présentant des maximums d'émission différents. Ledit procédé permet ainsi la production d'une image fluorescente non monochrome (qui peut être sensiblement invisible à la lumière du jour mais qui est révélée lors de l'irradiation aux ultraviolets (UV)) qui peut être de qualité sensiblement meilleure que celles produites au moyen de procédés d'impression par transfert de masse. Ledit procédé implique de préférence l'utilisation de trois colorants fluorescents différents, pour une qualité d'image couleur améliorée. L'invention concerne également des supports de transfert thermique pouvant être utilisés dans ledit procédé et les documents imprimés obtenus portant une image fluorescente.
