20100061295	TRANSFERRING DATA IN A DUAL TRANSFER MODE BETWEEN A MOBILE NETWORK AND MOBILE STATIONS - A circuit mobility management entity (CMM) is intended a mobile network adapted for transferring data in a dual transfer mode to and from mobile stations. The CMM is arranged, when it has established a circuit-switched (CS) connection between a mobile station and the mobile network and when it receives from a radio resource entity (RR) of the mobile network, a message informing that the CS procedure corresponding to this CS connection is ended, to determine if a GPRS Tunnelling Transport Protocol (GTTP) procedure is running for a packet-switched (PS) signalling procedure which concerns the mobile station, then either i) require release of the CS connection near the RR entity if the GTTP procedure is ended, or ii) maintain the CS connection as long as the GTTP procedure is running, and require release of the CS connection near the RR entity when the GTTP procedure is ended.	03-11-2010

20100109130	METHOD OF FORMING AN OXIDE THIN FILM - A thin oxide film is formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) onto a substrate by exposing the substrate to a first precursor comprising a metal organic alkoxide or amide or heteroleptic derivatives thereof and subsequently exposing the substrate to a second precursor comprising an ALD compatible carboxylic acid or carboxyl acid derivative compound. The sequential exposure to the first and second precursors may be repeated until a sufficient film thickness of an oxide of the metal has been deposited on the substrate. This process allows growth of an oxide thin film or nanostructure, on any suitable substrate. It permits formation of a high-κ dielectric oxide thin film on the substrate with similar dielectric properties to a much thinner SiO	05-06-2010

20090194198	END PIECE FOR THE FILLING OF A TANK - The filling end piece comprises a duct having an insertion aperture and a sleeve moveable with respect to the duct. The sleeve is adapted to adopt a withdrawn position when not urged and an advanced position when it is urged by a movement of insertion of a spout of large diameter. The end piece comprises an obstacle for countering the filling by a small spout. The end piece comprises an end of travel abutment for a small spout, fixed with respect to the duct and projecting inwardly, the abutment being distinct from and upstream of the obstacle in the duct.	08-06-2009

20090133167	METHOD FOR OBTAINING A SCANNING TRANSMISSION IMAGE OF A SAMPLE IN A PARTICLE-OPTICAL APPARATUS - A method for improving the resolution of STEM images of thick samples. In STEM, the diameter of the cross-over depends on the opening half-angle α of the beam and can be as low as 0.1 nm. For optimum resolution an opening half-angle is chosen at which the diameter of the cross-over R(α) shows a minimum. For thick samples the resolution is, for those parts of the sample removed from the cross-over plane, limited by the convergence of the beam, resulting in a diameter D of the beam at the surface of the sample. The opening angle is chosen to balance the contribution of convergence and of diameter of the cross-over by choosing an opening half-angle smaller than the optimum opening half-angle. Effectively the sample is then scanned with a beam that has a substantially constant diameter over the length of the sample material through which the electrons have to travel.	05-21-2009
