The present invention is a user process that resides in network nodes to act as an agent for the mobile terminals in PCS environments. The user process handles all negotiation and complex signaling functions for the user, thus reducing the amount of signaling traffic that must travel over the valuable air interface. To achieve low call establishment times the user process is migrated as users move...

Fuel rod 2 has a fuel cladding tube 3, and upper end plug 5 and a lower end plug 6 welded to the ends of fuel cladding tube 3. He gas 1 and U pellets 4 are filled in the fuel cladding tube 3. The He gas pressure 1 is about 8 atm, and the average crystal grain size of the U pellet 4 is in the range of 30-60 mu m. The fuel rod can be manufactured at a lower manufacturing cost, while maintaining the...

The invention relates to ceramic materials usable as tritium producing material in a thermonuclear fusion reactor. These materials are constituted by lithium zirconate substituted by copper in the form of solid solutions of the type Li2ZrO3, whose compositions are in the hatched area of the ternary diagram shown below. Preferably, they comply with the formula: Li 2 Zr CuxO3 with 0 < x

The lens (1) is available for projecting a scene on the entry plane (3) and one or more oculars are provided for observation of the picture amplified on the exit plane (6). A device is incorporated for the focussing adjustment of the lens. A battery and switch are furnished for current supply to the light amplifier. A rotatable manoeuvring unit (21) for the binoculars is arranged as a battery cont...

The binoculars have a lens (1) which projects the scene located in the direction for the binocular sight line towards the entry plane (3). An observation microscope has a beam divider (14) in order to observe through the two oculars (13A,B) the picture formed on the light amplifier exit plane. A mirror component (20) is arranged to reduce the forwardly directed structural length, placed between th...

A spherical plain bearing includes a locking collar for preventing rotation of the ball of the spherical plain bearing with respect to a rotating or oscillating shaft.

A bearing is mounted within a housing having an acousticelectric transducer mounted on its outside. A stationary annular outer race has at least one sensor, an electric-acoustic transducer, and an electronic system interconnecting the sensor and the electric-acoustic transducer. The electric-acoustic transducer is mounted in an opening extending radially through the stationary race. The electric-a...
