Patent EP-1211877-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERNDT STEFAN
IPC: H04M3/54
Filed: 2001-10-02
Abstract: The apparatus conveys messages intended for a specific recipient. The apparatus has a control unit and a database for storing user specific information. A telecommunication network interface is provided via which messages can be exchanged between networks. The user specific information indicates the number of subscribers as well as terminals associated with the subscribers and message formats compatible with these terminals. A conversion module converts temporarily stored messages in one or more message formats in the database. The control unit is arranged such that on reception of a message, with the recipient specific information, a terminal is selected via which the recipient can be reached and a compatible format is selected. The message is fed to a conversion module and the converted message is sent to a selected terminal. Independent claims also cover a method for conveying messages.

Abstract: A battery comprising an electricity-generating
element comprising a strip-form positive electrode (11), a
strip-form negative electrode (12), and a strip-form separator (13),
said positive electrode and said negative electrode being
spirally wound through said separator and said positive
electrode and said negative electrode respectively having
current collecting lugs (11a,12a) protruding from a side thereof,
wherein the pitches of the current collecting lugs become
longer toward the outer periphery side, and the at least
one current collecting lug that located on the outer side
has a larger width than that located on the inner side. In
this battery, the electricity-generating element has at
least one current collecting lug which has a larger width
than the adjacent current collecting lug located on the
inner side thereof. Consequently, although the current
collecting lugs in an outer region are located at a longer
pitch and the area to be covered by each current collecting
lug in that region is wide, charge/discharge current can
sufficiently flow through the active material throughout
the whole area in that region. Therefore, charge/discharge
current can evenly flow through the electrodes including
their inner and outer parts, whereby the active materials
can have an even reaction distribution.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for congestion management in a multi-branch
Internet Protocol (IP)-based private branch exchange (PBX) switch. The multi-branch
IP-based PBX switch is interconnected through (i) a packet network referred to
as the primary network, such as a wide area network (WAN), and (ii) an alternate
network, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN),. Packet phone
adapters (PPAs) associated with each packet telephone unit monitor packet telephone
calls and report delay information to communication servers. The communication server
can reroute the packet telephony calls through the secondary network upon detection of
congestion in the underlying primary network, thereby preserving voice quality. The
packet phone adapter (PPA) will discard records collected from calls whose duration is
below a minimum value, to ensure reliable congestion information. Each communication
server records reported voice quality of service information in a congestion control
database. An overload control process processes each call set up request and determines
if the requested path is congested. If a requested path is congested, then the overload
control process may forward the call using the secondary network.

Abstract: In a cellular mobile telecommunications system, apparatus and a
method for altering the charge for a call if the occupancy of radio
channels is above or below an appropriate threshold. For one proposed
service, the users are charged less if they make calls during the time
