For non-3GPP networks it is necessary to discover a security gateway and to then establish the corresponding tunnels to the ePDG to form the new data path; a security tunnel between the mobile node and the security gateway, and an IP tunnel between the packet data network gateway and the security gateway. In order to prepare the handover to possible non-3GPP accesses, the two tunnels are pre-established, however maintained deactivated until their use is actually needed. Accordingly, when handing over to the non-3GPP network, the IP session may be continued without any significant interruption by activating the already established tunnels. | 09-08-2011 |

In order to enable a mobile node to detect whether the network is using a network-based mobility function for the mobile node, upon establishment of a PDN connection or IP session, the mobile node sends a probe message to the network destined to itself and determines based on the modifications of the probe message returned to the mobile node whether the network is using a network-based mobility function for the mobile node or not. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110261787 | SECURE TUNNEL ESTABLISHMENT UPON ATTACHMENT OR HANDOVER TO AN ACCESS NETWORK - The invention relates to a method, mobile node and computer-readable medium for establishing (or pre-establishing) a secure tunnel to an ePDG to prepare for a mobile node attachment or handover to another access network. To reduce the delay of a handover or upon attachment of a mobile node to an access network implied by mechanisms to discover a ePDG, the mobile node maintains a reachability list that can be consulted to identify an ePDG or ePDGs that are reachable in the target access network, i.e. to which the mobile node may establish a secure tunnel. If the mobile node can identify a reachable ePDG for a given access network from the reachability list, the mobile node (pre-)establishes a secure tunnel to the ePDG upon attaching to the given access network. In alternative solutions DNS, DHCP or other mechanism can be used to provide the mobile node with information on ePDGs in its vicinity. | 10-27-2011 |

According to this technique, trigger information is embedded in a session of content used by the terminal. When this trigger information is detected, the terminal carries out an operation to set up as trigger action (e.g. the change to another session). The relation between the trigger information and the trigger action may be described in sequence information, which is held by the terminal in advance or the trigger action may be described in the trigger information. With regard to certain trigger information, different types of trigger actions may be set up for each terminal (or, depending on the condition of the terminal). As a result, different types of session change can be performed, depending on each terminal and on the conditions of the terminals. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20090047048 | PRESSURE ROLLER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - A pressure roller includes a rubber layer containing organic microballoons and a heat-resistant resin layer arranged in that order on a roller base, wherein an intermediate rubber layer having a heat conductivity of 1.0 to 4.0 W/m·K is arranged between the rubber layer containing the organic microballoons and the heat-resistant resin layer. There is provided a method for producing the pressure roller. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090232564 | METHOD OF PRODUCING OA APPARATUS ROLLER AND OA APPARATUS ROLLER - The invention offers a method of producing an OA apparatus roller that can increase the thermal conductivity of the surface layer composed of a fluororesin layer by decreasing its thickness, that has an excellent parting ability, that can prevent the rubber layer from deteriorating, and that is free from foreign matters adhering onto the inner surface of a hollow cylindrical mold even when the hollow cylindrical mold is used. The invention also offers an OA apparatus roller produced by the foregoing method. The method of producing an OA apparatus roller is provided with a step of forming an elastic layer and a surface layer in this order on a core metal. In this method, the surface layer is formed by using a fluororesin dispersion and the fluororesin dispersion contains a surfactant, a film-thickening agent, and a viscosity-increasing agent with a total content of 1.0 to 5.0 wt %. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100155199 | FLUORORESIN-COVERED ROLLER AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF - A fluororesin-covered roller and a production method thereof. The fluororesin-covered roller has a laminar structure in which a rubber layer and a fluororesin layer are provided in this order on a roller base material. In the fluororesin-covered roller, the fluororesin layer is a covering layer formed of a fluororesin tube having a thickness of 10 μm or more and less than 20 μm. | 06-24-2010 |
