Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and/or apparatus related to finding and sharing information on the Internet. Specifically, the disclosed methods, systems, devices and/or apparatus relate to utilizing reference materials to find and share topical information on the Internet.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and/or apparatus related to type of network-based social network in which network “connections” are include a topical trust factor between users, so that reputable information available over the network may be provided. In an example embodiment, a social rank score for available items of information is provided that allows the system to rank available information based upon topical factors associated with such information.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication is described. The method includes receiving a silent indication (SID) start message from a modem at a Bluetooth (BT) module when the modem detects a silent period in a voice call. The method also includes sending the SID start message from the BT module to a remote BT device. The method further includes disabling a BT transmitter during the silent period based on the SID start message received from the modem.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication by a Bluetooth device is described. The method includes determining a paired device configuration for Bluetooth communication. The method also includes disabling Bluetooth page scans based on the paired device configuration. The page scans may be disabled when the Bluetooth device is in a connectable state for Bluetooth communication.

Abstract: A cable comprising one or more electrical conductors or communications media, or a core of two or more electrical conductors or communications media, each electrical conductor, communications medium, or core being surrounded by a composition, which is essentially halogen and antimony free, comprising:(a) a copolymer of ethylene and an unsaturated ester comonomer selected from the group consisting of:(i) an alkyl acrylate;(ii) an alkyl methacrylate; and(iii) a vinyl carboxylatewherein (A) the alkyl group has 1 to 8 carbon atoms and the carboxylate group has 2 to 8 carbon atoms;(B) the copolymer is, optionally, modified with an anhydride of an unsaturated aliphatic diacid having 4 to 20 carbon atoms;(C) the copolymer has an ester content in the range of about 5 to about 50 percent based on the weight of the copolymer and a melt index in the range of about 0.

Abstract: A flame retardant composition comprising:(i) a linear polyethylene having a density equal to or less than 0.915 gram per cubic centimeter;(ii) a linear polyethylene having a density in the range of 0.916 to 0.925 gram per cubic centimeter, grafted with an unsaturated aliphatic diacid anhydride, said polyethylene being present in an amount of about 40 to about 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of component (i); and(iii) magnesium hydroxide, surface treated with an organic phosphate ester or a salt thereof in an amount of about 0.1 to about 4 parts by weight of ester per 100 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide, said magnesium hydroxide being present in an amount of about 90 to about 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of component (i).

Abstract: Method of operating a heap leach for leaching uranium and vanadium from a uranium-vanadium bearing ore formed into a relatively tall heap from a mixture of coarsely crushed ore and concentrated sulfuric acid which involves leaching the heap in sections with each section leached in multiple cycles following a predetermined procedure in which the heap is first leached with dilute acid followed by a strong acid application. The product effluent from the strong acid application is recycled a multiple number of times and advanced to the next section. Each section is then washed with fresh water.
