Abstract: Method, devices and computer programs for routing a message to a first network server (MSC1) in a server pool (CNSP) of a mobile communication system are disclosed. The mobile communication system comprises a controller (BSC2) of an access network (AN) connectable to the first network server (MSC1) and at least one further network server (MSC2) in the server pool (CNSP), wherein service points are defined (S100) and one or more of the service points are allocated (S110) uniquely to each of the network servers (MSC1, MSC2) in the server pool (CNSP). At least one of the network servers (MSC1, MSC2) has allocated (S110) at least two of the service points. A temporary identity is assigned (S150) by the first network server (MSC1) to a mobile device (MS). The temporary identity includes a selected service point which is selected (S140) from the one or more service points allocated to the first network server (MSC1). The temporary identity is transmitted (S160) to the mobile device (MS) and a message (S170) from the mobile device (MS) to the first network server (MSC1) is routed (S200) to the first network server (MSC1) by extracting the selected service point from the temporary identity received by the mobile device (MS) and applying a routing algorithm to the selected service point. The routing algorithm reveals the first network server (MSC1) from an analysis of the selected service point.

Abstract: Ion exchangers of significantly improved quality can be obtained when base material of diol group content greater than 1 mM/g (dry weight) is used, and graft polymerization is carried out so that the degree of grafting attained is 0.5 to 2 mM/g of base material. Alkali stable hydrophilic sorbents for ion exchange chromatography are obtained through the following steps: (1) preparation of a base material (diol group content greater than 1 mM/g), e.g. crosslinked vinyl polymer from diol group containing vinyl monomers and crosslinked monomers, with polymerizable groups bonded via carbonamide group containing chains; (2) addition of the base material to an aqueous solution of the monomer to be grafted, where the monomer contains an ionic group or a precursor group for an ionic group; (3) grafting of the monomer onto the base material, where the graft polymerization is started with cerium(IV). The process parameters i.e. suspension density (base material concentration),monomer concentration, starter concentration, pH value, temperature, and addition of polymerization inhibitors are selected so that a degree of grafting of 0.5 to 2 mM/g of carrier (dry material) is attained; and (4) the precursor groups for the ionic groups in step (2) are converted to ionic groups. An independent claim is also included for the preparation of a sorbent.

Par ailleurs, les messages d'indication de flux peuvent être élaborés et transmis à chaque d'intervalle de temps seuil, indépendamment du nombre de paquets de données transmis, en vue de garantir la transmission des messages d'indication de flux au moins à chaque intervalle de temps préréglé. L'invention permet également de mettre au point un système de commande de flux doté d'un module de compteur d'indication de flux (302) qui permet de fournir le nombre à jour des paquets de données transmis. Ce système comprend également un module de surveillance de la taille de la fenêtre (306) qui détermine la taille de la fenêtre tampon, et un module d'élaboration de messages qui élabore un message d'indication de flux contenant la taille de la fenêtre tampon (310).

Abstract: The method is for the manufacture of cooked cellulose pulp in which the starting material, preferably chips, undergoes a successive increase in temperature towards cooking temperature. This is done while the chips are first treated in a pre-treatment zone in which the main part, greater than 50%, of fresh white liquor necessary for the cooking stage is added, after which this alkali-rich treatment fluid is withdrawn and replaced to a major extent by black liquor. The alkali-rich treatment fluid that has been withdrawn after the pre-treatment stage is then added to the cooking stage, which is why the addition of fresh white liquor to the cooking stage is reduced to an equivalent amount. Maximal yield-enhancing effect is obtained using poly-sulphide-rich white liquor during the pre-treatment at a temperature in the interval 60±40° C. and retention time in the interval 2-60 minutes, preferably 2-10 minutes.

Abstract: A working label switched path (LSP) between neighbor label switched routers (LSRs) in a ring network that utilizes label switching is protected by an LSP that connects the neighbor LSRs of the working LSP in an opposite direction to the working LSP. If the working LSP fails, then packets are switched to the protection LSP. Switched packets traverse the protection LSP until they reach the neighbor LSR that they would have reached had the packets traversed the working LSP. Time-to-live (TTL) values of packets that traverse the protection LSP are adjusted to account for the number of hops on the protection LSP so that the TTL values of the packets are the same after traversing the protection LSP as they would have been had they traversed the working LSP. After traversing the protection LSP packets can be switched back to the working LSP or switched to a next hop LSP.

Abstract: A head unit (1) is inverted so that an outflow port (9) is in the lowest position. Because the top wall (7c) of the buffer tank (5) slopes downwards towards the outflow port (9), all remaining cleaning fluid that was introduced during manufacture is removed. Also, a notch (8b) is provided in the bottom end of an ink introduction port (8). The notch (8b) faces towards the outflow port (9) so that bubbles in the ink exit from the notch (8b) and are guided towards the outflow port (9). The head unit (1) is shipped while the buffer tank (5) is filled with preservation fluid that has high wettability and any openings to the outside air are closed off with covers. When the head unit (1) is used, the preservation fluid is sucked by a purging device and then ink, which has a high affinity for the preservation fluid, is smoothly introduced. Also, the inner surface of the filters (11) are treated to increase the wettability by ink after the filters (11) are fixed to the bottom lid (5a). Afterwards the bottom lid (5a) is fixed to the top lid (7c) to form the buffer tank (5). <IMAGE>
