  • Publication number: 20240121588
    Abstract: The systems and method disclosed herein optimize the deregistration of user equipment (UE) from the 5GC. For example, when the UE operates in single-registration mode, for AMF 3GPP access registration with drFlag attribute set to false (or to be absent) in UDM/UDR, a “new attribute”, singleRegIndication, is defined. The AMF sets the singleRegIndication value to “NO_INDICATION” when there is no N26 interface connection to MME. UDM will not instruct HSS to cancel MME (and SGSN/VLR) if there is an old AMF 3GPP registration for which “NO_INDICATION” or “DEREGISTER_SN” is set as the singleRegIndication value (i.e. the old AMF was already registered with the single registration). Otherwise, the AMF sets the singleRegIndication value to “DEREGISTER_SN” when the AMF has established a N26 interface connection to the old MME. UDM can instruct HSS to cancel the MME (and SGSN/VLR).

  • Patent number: 6116519
    Abstract: A plurality of pivotable spray chambers are mounted on an elongated beam extending from a boom secured to a three-point trailer hitch of a tractor. Controlled herbicide spraying of the unwanted growth which occurs in the furrows between dikes in fields of strawberries, lettuce, corn, tomatoes, onions, and other crops is achieved. Each furrow is sprayed by at least two spray chambers pivotally mounted from a beam. Each spray chamber includes an open bottomed box, with each of the two spray chambers being movable towards and away from each other against the bias of springs so that varying widths of furrows between adjacent dikes are accommodated.

  • Patent number: 5248090
    Abstract: A plurality of spray chambers are mounted on a boom secured to a three-point trailer hitch of a tractor. Controlled herbicide spraying of the unwanted growth which occurs in the furrows between dikes in fields of strawberries, lettuce, corn, tomatoes, onions, and other crops is achieved. Each spray chamber includes two overlapping sections which are movable towards and away from each other against the bias of springs so that varying widths of furrows between adjacent dikes are accommodated. In addition, an entire spray chamber is laterally adjustable to accommodate varying distances between adjacent furrows as is encountered due to "blow outs" of dikes due to over-watering or storm conditions to cause partial collapse of a dike.

  • Patent number: 4319878
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a reinforced half-slotted container in which each of the side walls is formed by outer side wall and a reinforcing panel which is the same size and height as the outer side wall. The reinforcing panel is attached to the outer side wall along a score line at the top of the outer side wall.In the method, either the two interior reinforcing panels or the two exterior reinforcing panels are adhered to their outer side walls and then the other two reinforcing panels are adhered to their outer side walls. The container is then formed in the normal manner to fasten the glue joint to the opposite side wall.The apparatus has a first forming station in which the interior reinforcing panels are glued, folded over and adhered to the outer side walls, and a second forming station in which the exterior reinforcing panels are glued, folded over and adhered to the outer side walls.

  • Patent number: 3964289
    Abstract: A rectangular tubing bender having a frame provided with an arrangement for locking in place a tube to be bent. Structure on the frame forms directly opposed depressions on opposite sides of the rectangular tube prior to bending of the tube adjacent the depressions for permitting a completely closed and square bend to be formed. The locking arrangement may be mounted on a carriage movable on the frame for bending the tube by moving same against a stationary forming point member subsequent to the formation of the depressions in the tube. Cam operated rockers are advantageously employed to form the depressions.
