Abstract: The invention relates to a method of exiting a collect information phase at an IN service switching point in such a way that call set up control is transferred from the IN service switching point (SSP) to t he control point (SCP), even though the maximum of information requested as additional information by the IN service control point has not been received. In the method, a new condition (EE) is determined for the collecting phase (PIC2) and after the condition is fulfilled, the collecting phase is exited in such a way that the service control point (SCP) can make a decision how the call will be continued. The condition (EE) is either the maximum collecting time (collectTimer), which determines for how long the collecting of information is allowed to take at the most, or the minimum number (minNumberOfDigits), which determines how many digits at least have to be collected. The invention further relates to an intelligent network, an IN service control point and an IN service switching point, to which the method can be applied.</SDOA B>

Title: Method and device for recording real-time information
Inventor: WILSON PATRICIA ELIZABETH MCDOWELL
IPC: G11B27/034
Filed: 1999-11-05
Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: A method and device for recording real time information on a record carrier, e.g. video on an optical disc. The information is arranged according to a recording format, e.g. DVD video, for being playable in standardized players. The information is subdivided into units and playback parameters for reproducing sequences of the units are included in the units. The format prescribes forward pointers to units that are located at a large distance from the unit which includes the forward pointers. However for home recording it is required that a recording is made in one pass, i.e. the video is to be recorded directly at its final location without a large buffer. So the device has a small buffer (30), and a processing unit (20, 28) for determining pointers to nearby units based on the buffer contents, while values for pointers pointing far forward are set arbitrarily, based on nearby units and/or default values indicating that the unit intended to be pointed to does not exist. Standard playback devices can still play the recorded material in trickplay modes with only minor deviations in the fast forward scanning speed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for deep drawing a heavy gage workpiece into a drawn part. A lower die section includes a die cavity therein and a base mounting surface thereon, and further includes a die radius defined between the base mounting surface and the die cavity. Riser blocks mount to the base mounting surface of the die for supporting the workpiece at a predetermined elevation above the base mounting surface of the die. A punch having an end face is capable of reciprocating past the riser blocks and into and out of the die cavity. The workpiece is located on the riser blocks over the die cavity. The punch is advanced from a retracted position into the die cavity, wherein the end face of the punch contacts the workpiece such that the punch and the riser blocks cooperate to pre-form the workpiece therebetween as the punch moves toward the die, but before the workpiece enters the die. Thus, the punch and riser blocks cooperate upon the workpiece to start metal working in areas of the workpiece that are typically prone to defects, in order to prevent such defects.
