Abstract: Disclosed is a pumping system comprising a pump having a rigid outer casing defining an interior space and a tube structure in the interior space, the tube structure being flexible and substantially inelastic. The interior of the tube structure defines a pumping chamber for receiving pumped fluid. The tube structure is movable between laterally expanded and collapsed conditions thereby providing discharge and intake strokes. The pumping chamber receives pumped fluid to cause the tube structure to move towards the expanded condition and undergo an intake stroke. The pumping chamber—undergoes a discharge stroke upon collapsing of the tube structure. The pumping system also comprises a delivery means and a supplying means for delivering pumped fluid to the pumping chamber and for supplying actuating fluid to an actuating region around the tube structure in timed sequence to cause the tube structure to undergo discharge and intake strokes.

Abstract: A system and method for providing secure access and roaming support for a mobile subscriber connected to a telecommunication network in a Semi-Connected Mode (SCM). A point-to-point protocol (PPP) connection is established when an initial call is made from the mobile subscriber to an Internet Protocol (IP)-based network through a first access server (AS<SUB>1</SUB>). AS<SUB>1 </SUB>provides the mobile subscriber with an identifier for AS<SUB>1 </SUB>such as an IP address. The connection enters the SCM state when the subscriber disconnects the call. When the subscriber originates a subsequent call through a second access server (AS<SUB>2</SUB>), the subscriber uses the User-to-User Signalling (UUS) Supplementary Service to send the AS<SUB>1 </SUB>identifier to AS<SUB>2</SUB>. AS<SUB>2 </SUB>then sends a Calling Number Identification (CNID) for the subscriber to AS<SUB>1</SUB>. A PPP tunnel is established between AS<SUB>1 </SUB>and AS<SUB>2</SUB>, and AS<SUB>2 </SUB>tunnels PPP packets to AS<SUB>1</SUB>. The connection to the IP-based network is then re-established.
