Abstract:
A telecommunications system communicates internet packet data, carrying payload data including a plurality of different data types, with a mobile communications user equipment. The system comprises a gateway support node (GGSN), a service support node (SGSN) and a radio network controller (RNC). At least one of the gateway support node (GGSN) and the user equipment (UE) are operable to: parse the payload data in each data packet; generate a radio access bearer sub-flow indicator indicating the number of different types of data in the payload and the number of symbols in each different data type; and form a transport frame including the sub-flow indicator. The data packets are communicated between the radio network controller and the user equipment by detecting the sub-flow indicator, and in accordance with the sub-flow indicator arranging for the data from each of the different data fields to be communicated via a different radio access bearer providing different quality of service parameters appropriate for the different data type.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for use in the conversion of a chain link fence into any new type of fence. The present invention includes removing all of the existing parts of a chain link fence except for the original supporting fence posts, coring or drilling out new fence posts, inserting the new fence posts over the original supporting fence posts, and securing the new fence posts to the original supporting posts.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for communicating signaling messages associated with a communication system whereby a network within the communications system is responsible for setting up a signaling path between users of the communication system. However, once that signaling path is established by the network, the users may communicate with each other whereby the network is not needed to pass data between the users thereby substantially decreasing demand on the network and freeing it for other system functions.
Abstract:
A cell relay network (38, FIG. 2) transmits cells having different priorities through a single virtual connection using several methods (100, FIG. 4; 200, FIG. 5; 300, FIG. 3). Congestion control is accomplished by a negotiation process between a network user's communication equipment at a source node (900, FIG. 9) and a network control element (1000, FIG. 10) associated with the network fabric 18 at the time of connection set-up. A source node (900) initially transmits a request for a connection to the network control element (1000). Along with a connection request, the source node also transmits a requisition for permission to transfer through the network during a predetermined time interval cells having multiple priorities. The network control element responds to the requisition by sending to the source node a connection admissions attributes message (44, FIG. 2) containing allowable connection attributes. The source node enforces the connection attributes authorized by the network in the connection admission attributes message.
Abstract:
In a personal area network, a method for programming an appliance by a controller. The method includes steps of a) determining (358), by the controller (300), that the appliance (324) is included in the personal area network; b) determining (328), by the controller (300), that the appliance (324) is in data communication with the controller (300); and c) when the appliance (324) is in data communication with the controller (300), performing substeps of: i) requesting downloading (330) of a command set for controlling the appliance (324); ii) receiving (332) the command set for controlling the appliance (324); and iii) programming (401) the command set into a memory of the controller.
Abstract:
Herein disclosed is substantially a garment which when worn by the wearer, allows the wearer to easily and quickly remove a pair of binoculars which are supported and releasably secured thereon. This garment further allows the wearer to simultaneously carry multiple articles of choice if so desired, such as a camera and/or even an animal-calling-device. Furthermore, we include a unique accessory item which is releasably adjustably attachable to the garment which allows the wearer to position the lens caps from a pair of binoculars therein, and when the wearer removes the binoculars from the garment, the lens caps are automatically retained in a secure safe manner within the accessory item.
Abstract:
Substituted 2-nitromethylene-tetrahydro-2H-1,3-thiazines of formula: ##STR1## in which n is 0 or 1; m is 0 or 1; X is oxygen or sulphur; and R is alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl optionally substituted by one or more of the same or different substituents selected from halogen atoms and hydroxy, thiol, acyloxy, acylthio, alkoxy, alkoxyalkoxy, haloalkoxy, and optionally substituted phenyl groups; have useful pesticidal properties.
Abstract:
A telecommunications system communicates internet packet data, carrying a plurality of different types of data, to and/or from a mobile communications user equipment. The system comprises a gateway support node (GGSN), a serving support node (SGSN) and a radio network controller (RNC). The mobile user equipment (UE) is operable to communicate a context application request to the serving support node (SGSN) specifying main quality of service parameters and at least one other data field representing a request for a different set of quality of service parameters, each of the quality of service parameters being provided for one of the different types of data in the data packet. The serving support node (SGSN) is responsive to the context application request to establish a virtual channel between the gateway support node (GGSN) and the user equipment via the serving support node (SGSN), including a radio access bearer in accordance with each of the plurality of quality of service parameters for communicating the different data types. An advantage is thereby provided in that a more efficient use of radio resources can be provided, because the radio access bearer can be matched to the type of data to be communicated.
