Abstract:
A method of accessing a network using a network access application is disclosed. The network has a plurality of locations which have respective location addresses in the network. The method includes defining a plurality of address components, combinations of which forming respective location addresses, assigning reference voice signals to the address components, comparing input voice signals with the reference voice signals and producing a network access address location on the basis of address components associated with matched input and reference voice signals.
Abstract:
A method and system for operating a user interface uses an electronic reading device to detect a portion of an address pattern. A client device receives data identifying the detected portion of the address pattern and uses the data to request a corresponding application description. The request is sent to an application server that retrieves the corresponding application description and forwards it to the client device. The application description includes an address pattern grid description that is further forwarded to the electronic reading device. The electronic reading device stores the grid description and uses it to identify positions corresponding to successively detected portions of the address pattern, to determine whether the positions are within the current grid description, to generate strokes from the positions, and to initiate actions based on the generated strokes. Action data is then sent to the client device, which processes the data in accordance with the application description. In addition, by pre-establishing certain groupings of positions, positions detected by the electronic reading device that are within the same grouping can be manipulated in a consistent manner.
Abstract:
Cathode unit for installation in a fluorescent tube body (3) belonging to a fluorescent tube (1), which cathode unit (5) comprises a cathode screen (15a, 15, 15'-15"") which partially surrounds an electrode (9) which is electrically insulated from the said cathode screen (15), a power supply device (11) arranged to make an electrical connection between the said electrode (9) and a contact (13), the said cathode screen (15a, 15, 15'-15"") comprising a first end (19) facing towards the discharge, which first end (19) comprises a central opening (21), and a second end (39) facing towards the said contact (13). The first end (19) of the cathode screen (15a, 15, 15'-15"") is designed with a rounded-off part (25) in order to facilitate the insertion of the cathode unit (5) in the said fluorescent tube body (3).
Abstract:
A method and system for electronic data entry using an electronic reading device that detects at least one position of the electronic reading device relative to a predefined address pattern of a specially formatted surface. Data relating to the at least one detected position is transmitted, preferably via a wireless interface using a radio transceiver. The data is received by a separate electronic device that performs an operation using the received data, wherein the operation corresponds to an area on the address pattern that contains the at least one detected position. The operation, for example, can include initiating a hyperlink function.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an implement carrier (1 ), which comprises fastening means (5) for mounting an implement at the front. At least one of the fastening means (5) comprises a sleeve part (11 , 15), which is attached at a first point of attachment on the implement carrier (1 ) and is pivotable about the same. The fastening means has an implement fastener (19), to which an implement can be fastened, the implement fastener being pivotally attached at a second point of attachment on the sleeve part. The sleeve part (11 , 15) can be operated by rotating using an actuator part (27) so that the implement fastener is moved backwards, and a driving belt between the implement carrier and the implement is slackened, whereby the driving belt can easily be removed.
Abstract:
Method for communicating information between a first device comprising means for communicating through a BLUETOOTH link and at least one second device also comprising means for communicating through a BLUE-TOOTH link. A connection link separated from the BLUETOOTH link is established between said first device and said at least one second device. A device identifier block includes data required for establishing and maintaining a BLUETOOTH link communication between said first device and a second device. The device identifier block is transferred through the connection link separated from the BLUETOOTH link.
Abstract:
A method and system for controlling, configuring, and unlocking an electronic device utilizes a reading sensor for detecting a portion of an address pattern on a formatted surface. In particular, the address pattern on the surface is formatted such that a position on the address pattern can be determined by detecting only a small portion of the address pattern. A processor identifies whether the detected position of the address pattern is within an electronic reading device configuration area and, if so, converts position data received from the reading sensor into a configuration setting or control function for the electronic device. The conversion can be performed, for example, by translating the detected position(s) into an alphanumeric character. The configuration setting is then stored in the electronic reading device and/or in a server associated therewith or the control function is performed. Alternatively, instead of converting detected positions into a configuration setting, detected positions can be converted into an unlocking code (e.g., a PIN or signature), which is then compared with a stored user identifier. If a match occurs, the electronic reading device is enabled or unlocked.
