The invention relates to: A medication delivery device and a method of making such a device. The object of the present invention is to provide a handy medication delivery device that may be easily adjusted to the different needs of a given user in different situations and to the different needs of different users, and which is economic from a production point of view. The problem is solved in that it comprises a basis module (1) and one or more replaceable modules (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), each of which is adapted to cooperate mechanically and / or electronically with the basis module to provide a specific function, and the basis module includes resources that are jointly used by the replaceable modules. This has the advantage of providing a rational concept for economically supplying high quality, mass-produced devices capable of being customized to individual users' needs for functionality by avoiding the duplication of key components. The invention may be used in injector type, medication pump type, inhaler or spray type devices for delivering a discrete dose or a continuous dose of a medication to a user.

Systems and methods provide a single E.164 number for voice and data call redirection and telephony services such as caller identification, regardless of in which type of network a dual mode mobile device operates. When the dual mode device registers and is active in a GSM network, temporary routing and status updates are triggered and resultant information is maintained in both networks. A mobile terminated call is routed through an enterprise WLAN with call control within the enterprise being handled by SIP or H.323 signaling, and the call is redirected to the mobile device in the GSM network, where call control is assumed by the SS7 network. Services are provided using the protocols native to the active network, and the single E.164 is used consistently along with or lieu of the temporary routing information for subscriber identity specific functions, such as caller identification and voice mail.

A watch or other type of portable electronic console that employs a number of different functions in order to improve its usability. The watch may, for example, allow a user to connect the watch to one or more remote electronic devices, such as an electronic performance sensor or MP3 player. The watch then displays information related to the connected electronic devices. Still further, the watch may allow a user to control the operation of one or more connected remote electronic devices. Thus, if the watch is connected to a remote speed / distance monitor employing a calibration variable, then the watch may allow the user to adjust the calibration variable. The watch also provides a multi-tiered menu for accessing its various functions. Each operational mode in the first tier relates to a broad category of different functions of the watch, and contains one or more operational submodes in a second tier. The submodes in the second tier are for performing specific functions related to the generic category of functions identified by the first-tier operational mode. Still further, the watch allows a user to conveniently select how the information provided by the watch is displayed. Moreover, the watch includes a power save function that reduces the power consumption of the watch when it is not in use.

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a pressure intensity detection unit that detects pressure intensity of an operating tool pressing a screen, a change rate detection unit that detects a rate of change of the pressure intensity based on information on the pressure intensity detected by the pressure intensity detection unit, and a function providing unit that provides a specific function in a case the rate of change of the pressure intensity detected by the change rate detection unit is high, and cancels an operation by the operating tool without providing the specific function in a case the rate of change of the pressure intensity is low.

A gaining machine has a display means and a game control means arranged to control images displayed on the display means. The game control means is arranged to play an underlying game in which random events are caused to be displayed on the display means. In the feature game series, which is distinct from the underlying game played on the machine that is triggered during play of the underlying game, a set of special indicia are provided which may have specific functions during the feature game series such as acting as wild, substitute, scatter symbols or the like. Prior to commencement of playing of the games of the feature game series, the gaming machine allows the player of the gaming machine to select at least one particular special indicia from the set of special indicia to have at least one of the particular functions during that feature game series.

Multiple bonding layer schemes that temporarily join semiconductor substrates are provided. In the inventive bonding scheme, at least one of the layers is directly in contact with the semiconductor substrate and at least two layers within the scheme are in direct contact with one another. The present invention provides several processing options as the different layers within the multilayer structure perform specific functions. More importantly, it will improve performance of the thin-wafer handling solution by providing higher thermal stability, greater compatibility with harsh backside processing steps, protection of bumps on the front side of the wafer by encapsulation, lower stress in the debonding step, and fewer defects on the front side.

An integrated vehicle control system includes various functionalized networks, such as power train group, vehicle motion group, and power source group, each including a plurality of ECUs connected via an individual communication line. A managing ECU in each network determines operation directives to be supplied to individual ECUs belonging to its own network based on information obtained from these individual ECUs as well as information obtained from other ECUs of different networks via a host communication line L4. The determined operation directives are transmitted to corresponding ECUs to cause respective individual ECUs to operate subordinately according to the given operation directives, thereby realizing a collective control of specific functions. The managing ECU also executes abnormality detection processing for detecting abnormality occurring in the integrated vehicle control system.

A client portal that is optimized to fulfill a specific function. The portal can include a browser that is dedicated to performing a particular task, such as reviewing and purchasing electronic books. For example, to better perform the specific function, the browser may only be able to directly access sites designated by an authorized party, e.g., the browser's publisher. Because the browser is dedicated to performing a single task, the user interface for operating the dedicated browser may be simplified to include only those controls useful for performing the assigned task. Also, the content available for access by the client portal can be controlled by a single authorized party, such as the portal's publisher or distributor.
