A method of wireless transmission of an email having a content in a language unsupported in a mobile communication system by Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) to a recipient using a mobile phone. An email server receives the email and extracts from the email text information indicative of the recipient and relating to content.

A MMS message transmitter, connected to the conversion server, transmits the MMS message to the mobile phone. Multi-language (supported and unsupported languages) wireless email transmission is thus made possible.

A controller stores an optical model for a layer stack having a plurality of layers and a plurality of input parameters including a first parameter and a second parameter. The controller stores data defining a plurality of default values for the first parameter and measures an optical property of a substrate and generates a second value.

A spectrum is measured and the measured spectrum is matched to the reference spectra and the best matched reference spectrum is determined. The first value of the best matched reference spectrum is determined and is used to adjust a polishing endpoint or a polishing parameter of a polishing apparatus.

The present invention is related with the management of memory in environments of limited resources, such as those found for example in a smart card. In a more particular manner, the invention relates to a method of managing the data storage resources of volatile memory, the object of which is to reduce the size of volatile memory necessary to implement the stack of the system, and thereby to reserve more volatile memory available for other needs or procedures of the system or of other applications When the stack grows and comes close to its established limit, the system carries out a transfer of a stack block located in the volatile memory to an area of non-volatile memory, hence this transfer allows a compression of the stack increasing its size in a virtual manner.
