On the central panel, a score line () defining a tear panel () and a rivet () for connecting the pull-tab to the can lid are arranged. The lid has a lid plug diameter of between 45 to 49 mm, an outside diameter of between 52 to 55 mm, and a weight of less than 1.9 g. The central panel has a thickness of less than 0.19 mm. The rivet is arranged off-center on the central panel. The rivet is tilted, so that the rivet provides an axis of rotation of the pull tap that has an angle of between 2&#xb0; and 4&#xb0; with respect to an axis that is vertically orientated with respect to the central panel, and/or at least one ramp-up bead () is arranged on either side of pull tab or on both sides of the pull tab.

Lid for an aluminum beverage can

The invention refers to a can lid for an aluminum beverage can. The can lid has a pull tab, a chuck wall defining a plug diameter, a countersink and central panel having a panel radius. On the central panel, a score line defining a tear panel and a rivet for connecting a pull tab to the can lid are arranged. The rivet extends through a rivet island that is arranged between an opening part of the pull tab and a handle part of the pull tab. The lid has lid plug diameter of between 45 to 49 mm, an outside diameter of between 52 to 55 mm and a weight of less than 1.9 grams. The central panel has a thickness of less than 0.19 mm. The score line defines an area of between 300 mmto 350 mmand the score line has a shortest distance from the panel radius of less than 3 mm.

A method for manufacturing a printed can lid () of a can with a digital printing method; comprising at least the following steps:

A method and a device for simplifying the forming of game parties in wireless communication networks is provided. A game directory is generated comprising all available (multi-player) games on a mobile device and exchanging said information between different gaming devices. Said game directory is generated by querying a memory accessible by said electronic gaming device for electronic games available for execution on, and generating a game directory having entries for each electronic game which is determined. Said game directory is then exchanged to visualize all available games to all potential game partners.

Further, there is provided a mobile terminal device capable of adapting the configuration of applications to an accessible data connection, comprising data exchanging means, capable of accessing at least one data connection; data processing means, capable of running applications; means for obtaining properties of at least one data connection accessible by said data exchanging means; and means for adapting the configurations of at least one application according to said obtained properties.

Method and device for adapting the configuration of an application of a mobile terminal to an accessible data connection

A method and apparatus in which a radio frequency transceiver is controlled via a plurality of connectors including providing control information for changing a mode of operation of the receiver. The modes can be transmit and receive modes, and the connectors can be configured to perform various functions depending on the mode of operation. Control signals, time critical control signals, and other types of signals may be received at one or more of the connectors in the different modes of operation. The functions may control a power amplifier of a transmitter portion of the transceiver, read/write data from/to registers of the transceiver, and/or other functions.

Interface for controlling a transceiver

A transceiver for operating in a network wherein the transceiver is arranged to synchronize to a time reference common to the network having distinguishable instances, the transceiver containing a controller for effecting the reading or writing of a real time clock at an identified instance of the common time reference; a transmitter for transmitting an identification of the real time clock value of a first instance and an identification of the first instance, and a receiver for receiving a transmitted identification of a real time clock value and an identification of a first instance.

Device synchronisation over a network

An interface between base band circuitry and RF transceiver circuitry, particularly relating to the Bluetooth standard. The interface has a plurality of connectors (DBus) for controlling the RF transceiver circuitry including providing control information for changing the mode of operation of the transceiver, said modes including a transmit mode and a receive mode; at least first and second further connectors (RFBus) wherein in the transmit mode, one of said first and second connectors supplies data to the transceiver and the other is operable to perform a first function such as controlling the power amplifier in the RF circuitry and wherein, in the receive mode, one of said first and second connectors receives data from said RF module and the other is operable to perform a second function different from the first function.

Interface

A terminal for simultaneously operating in a first mobile radio communications network and a second different radio communications network. The terminal comprises: first radio transceiver means for transmitting and receiving in said mobile communications network and second radio transceiver means for transmitting and receiving packets in the second radio communications network. The first transceiver means is arranged such that successive transmissions by said first transceiver means in said mobile communications network are separated by a first period of time or a multiple thereof. The second transceiver means is arranged for transmitting and/or receiving an integer number of packets sequentially in the first period of time or a multiple thereof.

Integrating communications networks

A transmitter for transmitting an intermittent sequence of messages to maintain synchronization between the transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes control apparatus which provides messages for transmission, each message forms part of a sequence of messages and includes control information and timing information, and transmission apparatus which transmits each message. A receiver for synchronizing with a sequence of the transmitted messages. The receiver includes receiver and synchronization apparatus responsive, when enabled, to the control information in the message to indicate to the control apparatus reception of the message. The control apparatus controls power conservation by disabling the receiver and synchronization apparatus for a period of time dependent upon the timing information and enabling the receiver and synchronization apparatus to receive a following message in the sequence.

Communication network

A transmitter, for controlling at least one receiver by intermittently transmitting groups of messages. The transmitter includes a controller arranged to provide intermittently groups of messages for transmission. Each of said groups includes a plurality of messages in series and separated by time intervals, wherein each of the plurality of messages in a group includes control information such that control of the receiver can be effected by reception of any one of the plurality of messages in the group. The invention increases the efficiency with which control messages can be transmitted without markedly increasing the power consumption of transceivers in a radio frequency network.
