Abstract: In a mobile radio communications system comprising mobile radio units and a fixed infrastructure including a key management controller for managing the encryption keys used for secure communication, each mobile radio unit is provided with means which enable the user or the unit itself to initiate deletion of an encryption key, eg as a consequence of tamper detection or perceived threat to the user, and also with means which are capable of sending a key deletion report (which may be a deletion initiated, deletion successfully completed and/or deletion unsuccessful report) to the key management controller. On the basis of received report(s) from a unit, the system can determine whether an encryption key has been deleted successfully and only discard a key on the likelihood that it has been compromised. The key deletion reports can be pre-encrypted using the current encryption key in that unit and then sent on successful deletion of that key; acknowledgements back from the management controller can also be verified against pre-encrypted expected acknowledgements even after deletion of that key. Time lags in reporting deletions can also be used to assess likelihood of a key being compromised.

Abstract: A method and system for distributed speech recognition in a communications network which includes at least one speech processing server coupled to a plurality of communication terminals, wherein a front-end device residing at each terminal is used to extract an amount of speech features from voice signals and a back-end device residing at the server to recognize words from the extracted features. The front-end device is configurable so that the amount of speech features can be adjusted based on the prevailing conditions that affect the speech processing. At the server side, a traffic monitoring device is used to determine how many users are accessing the back-end recognizer so that the amount of extracted features can be increased when the channel traffic is light and reduced when the traffic is heavy.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method of channel allocation for a mobile terminal (MS) moving in a cellular communication network (NW), said method comprising the steps of: detecting (S 21 ) the speed of said mobile terminal (MS) moving in said network, and dependent on said detected speed (S 23 , S 25 ), allocating (S 24 , S 26 , S 27 ) a channel of a specific type to said mobile terminal (MS). Accordingly, with the present invention implemented, delays in neighbor cell SCH decoding and signal level measurement are significantly reduced and may thus no longer result in incomplete data for inter-cell handover decision or even unsuccessfull handovers. Hence, communication network performance in particular in connection with handovers in a cellular network layout is improved. The present invention also concerns an accordingly adapted device for channel allocation.

Abstract: A flexible surgical plaster and an associated dermatological method of use for promoting healing of skin injuries and scars includes a flexible base layer having a window. The base layer is flexibly attachable to skin surface surrounding a skin injury or scar such that the window is flexibly placed above and exposes the skin injury or scar to light when the base layer is attached to the skin surface. The surgical plaster further includes a flexible translucent light-polarizing film placed in the window of the base layer such that the light-polarizing film is flexibly placed above the skin injury or scar when the base layer is attached to the skin surface. The light-polarizing film transforms ambient light received by the light-polarizing film into polarized light and transmits the polarized light through the window to the skin injury or scar when the base layer is attached to the skin.

Abstract: Handling of liquid containers in horizontal position in the form of beverage packaging, for example, cans or or bottles of any cross-section, comprising a first and a second conveyor with respective belt, especially in connection with detection of features of the container. The belts are movable in a mutually parallel direction, and in a first, container-supporting position form an angle relative to each other, thereby forming an approximately V-shaped conveyor. The two conveyors can be moved apart to a second position thereof, thereby exposing in the space between the conveyor belts a pair of rotary rollers which have the same direction of rotation and having their axis of rotation in the direction of travel of the conveyor belts, whereby a container that is supported by the conveyor belts falls onto the pair of rollers and is rotated there in order to detect with the aid of a detector unit characteristic features of the container, for example, its contour, an identification code or the like, and means for moving the two conveyor belts from the second position back to the first position, whereby a container that is rotated on the rollers is lifted up and away from the rollers by the conveyor belts for support by the conveyor belts in said first position. The container may in said first position of the conveyors be caused either to be carried onwards to a point downstream in relation to the conveyors or be carried back to an upstream position.

Abstract: A three-dimensional object is formed by selectively depositing successive layers (14) of build material from a print-head (9) having a plurality of orifices or nozzles (10(1)-10(96)), such as an ink-jet type of print-head. The print-head (9) is moved (X-Y control) relative to a support platform (15) in a series of scans in the X-direction offset from one another in the Y-direction and possibly overlapping. The orifices (10(1)-10(96)) extend transversely of the scan X-direction and may be set at an angle (α) to it to control the resolution perpendicular to the scan direction. The platform (15) is movable relative to the print-head in the Z-direction for forming each successive layer (14). The build material is a flowable material and may be a radiation-curable material, such as an ultra-violet curable photo-polymer. The data according to which each layer is formed may be manipulated according to a selected build style to determine the selective activation of the print-head orifices.
