Title: Connection establishment in a wireless telecommunications network
Inventor: RAIVIO YRJO
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 1999-09-20
Granted: 2007-12-04
Abstract: A wireless telecommunications system comprises a radio network layer which provides the means to carry mobile-specific signalling, and a transport layer which establishes user channels between system nodes over a transport network. The transport network is visible to the radio network layer only via a primitive interface through which it can request transport services. The invisibility of the transport network to the radio network layer makes the radio network layer independent of the underlying transport network and enables the use of different transport network technologies. The radio network layer signalling procedures and connections are mapped with the underlaying transport layer signalling procedures and connections by using binding information. The binding information is provided in a system node (A) at one end of the connection leg, exchanged between the network and transport layers in addition to other necessary parameters through a primitive interface, and used to "identify" the radio network layer and the transport layer connection setup signalling carried out between the nodes.

Granted: 2005-01-11
Abstract: A winder for winding wire onto coil supports of dynamo-electric cores with translational, rotational, and stratification motions with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the dynamo-electric core is provided. The rotational motion may preferably be provided by the rocking motion of a gear sector. The stratification motion may preferably be provided by the implementation of a spiral groove. The spiral groove preferably shares the same longitudinal axis as the winder. The rotation of the spiral groove preferably creates a relative motion between the groove and the needles, thereby producing the radial stratification motion of the needles. Additionally, the winder includes a motor arrangement which is programmable and controllable. The motor arrangement may also provide a dampening effect to limit unwanted stratification motion.

Abstract: A MIG welding gun has a diffuser with an external thread and a frusto-conical back ramp. A nozzle assembly includes an insert with a back ramp and a thread that mates with the diffuser thread. The threads of the diffuser and insert have respective ramps that mate. A single turn of the nozzle assembly on the diffuser causes simultaneous engagement of the insert and diffuser back ramps and of the insert and diffuser thread ramps. Such engagement centers the nozzle to be concentric with the diffuser and also produces a wedging action that retains the nozzle assembly on the diffuser until a relatively substantial reverse torque is applied to the nozzle assembly. The nozzle front end has a narrow annulus, which reduces the amount of radiant heat from the welding arc that reaches the nozzle.

Abstract: Video data in the form of a plurality of digitised frames, is stored on a plurality of magnetic disks. Each image frame is striped across a plurality of disks and redundant parity information, derived from the stripes, is written to an additional disk. Disk failure is detected and in response to this detection missing data is regenerated from the parity information. This allows the transfer of video data in real time to be maintained for output so that the system remains operational. While data is being read in real time, derived from regenerated data, the regenerated data is written to an operational disk, thereby reprotecting the data in the event of a subsequent failure. Frame supplied to output are labelled as being protected or unprotected and application programs may respond to this status information as considered appropriate.
