The invention relates to a method for supporting location determination of a mobile station, in which method location data are stored in and deleted from a memory, each location data item describing the location of the mobile station measured at a given measuring moment. Furthermore, in the method, a distance parameter and/or a target level corresponding to the distance parameter is determined at least for some of the stored location data; and deletion of the location data is at least partly based on the distance parameter and target level.

The document has two sheets (3) fixed to one another in a book form using a seam (5). One part of the document is arranged above and/or inside the seam and other part of the document is arranged above the former part and/or inside part of adjacent area of the sheet that is arranged inside the seam. Security information stems from the parts of the document. The sheet arranged under the seam consists of plastic or cotton material. An independent claim is also included for a procedure for the production of valuable and security documents.

The method involves dividing the events/states into several classes; associating each event/state with a class; representing a two-dimensional object of any shape, preferably for each class, on a flat template (4) arranged with respect to the flat input field (2) of a data acquisition device so that by manual operation of an object a signal is generated that stores the entry position in a data set representing the entry field; and evaluating the data set after the manual entry and associating each event/state with a class. An Independent claim is also included for data acquisition device for implementing the method.

A method of controlling a local process that forms part of a first processing entity such as a signalling gateway , said first processing entity maintaining a plurality of associations with a plurality of remote processes in a second processing entity such as a application server. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a failure message from a remote process indicating a fault affecting an association linking the local process with that remote process; queueing data messages destined for that remote process; controlling the transmission of an acknowledgement of the failure message so that data messages pending on the association are received at that remote process before the acknowledgment of the failure message; and initiating a traffic diversion to set up an alternate path between said first processing entity and said second processing entity for queued data messages. The local processes can be signalling gateway processes having a common point code or set of point codes and the remote processes can be application server processes having a common routing key.

A packaging method and apparatus wherein each product (P) is packaged by capturing the product in flexible packaging material. The packing apparatus includes a product detector (86) for detecting the presence or absence of a product to be packaged. The detection of the product may cause the advancement of packaging material (22,24) and the product through a nipping station (70,72) to form a package. The failure to detect a product may cause the advancement of the packaging material to stop and conserve packaging material until a product is detected. The product detector (86) is a light-sensitive sensor trained to detect a difference in light passing through the first web.

A frame structure consisting of two compound units provided with mutually facing grooves undercut on either side, in which the first compound unit can be attached in a desired position to the second compound unit via a detachable coupling which comprises a turning part which can be turned from the outside manually via a handle about its longitudinal axis by about 90 DEG into its coupling or decoupling position, and which in its coupling position positively engages by means of a T-head at its one end in one of the two grooves and by means of anchoring means at its other end in the other of the two grooves and can be locked in this coupling position by means of an anti-rotation device. To connect the two compound units to each other without special tools, but above all to be able also to detach them from each other again, it is proposed according to the invention that the anchoring means comprise a punched part which is arranged longitudinally displaceably in the one groove and bears the turning part which is freely rotatable relative to it and that the handle comprise a resilient element connected securely against rotation to the turning part, which element in decoupling position extends in relieved state or under only slight stress between the two compound units and in coupling position engages under bending stress behind a holder.

The present invention is a system for controlling exclusive access by control programs (30) to system resources (52). A system in accordance with the invention includes a plurality of addressable locations (12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22) in the system; a communication system (24) connecting the addressable locations which transmits communications between the addressable locations; a plurality of machines (26), the machines being located at at least one of the addressable locations; a plurality of control programs which use resources including a plurality of machine control programs, each machine control program controlling at least one machine; and a plurality of resource managers (32), the resource managers being located at a plurality of the addressable locations, each resource manager communicating over the communication system with at least one other resource manager, and the plurality of resource managers arbitrating which control program of the plurality of control programs is given exclusive use of at least one resource during execution of the control program.

The invention relates to a data processing device with a functionally programmable logic circuit and a programming interface. An authorization control unit is provided, which protects the programming interface against an unauthorized access. This enables the functions of a semiconductor module to be changed in a customer-specific manner while preventing unauthorized entities from subsequently changing the functionality.

The invention concerns an apparatus for and a method of treating a plurality of zones of a processing line with a liquid, the liquid comprising a treatment liquid and a carrier liquid, wherein the treatment liquid is introduced into pipes conveying the carrier liquid to each zone as discrete slugs, and wherein the volume of each slug is selectively variable or wherein each slug may be introduced into the pipes at a selectively variable frequency. Preferably the treatment liquid is applied to all zones from a single source (1), and the slugs, upon discharge at least at one zone, remain substantially concentrated. The invention particularly concerns the lubricating of conveyors as on bottling lines.
