Abstract: A system implementing automatic subscriber notification over a wireless telecommunications network and providing immediate subscriber notice of changes made to an individual subscriber profile is disclosed; comprising a messaging service (122) communicatively linking an operational facility (102) within the wireless telecommunications network and a subscriber unit (108), a structure (110) accessible by the facility and storing therein service profile data (118) associated with the subscriber unit, and a notification protocol system (314), communicatively linked with the structure and with the messaging service, monitoring the service profile data, generating a notification message (318) responsive to any change in the service profile data, and transmitting the notification message to the subscriber unit via the messaging service.

Abstract: A computer implemented transaction processing system is presented for processing transactions between an application and one or more transaction processors. The system utilizes a first communication link between the application and a transaction processor interoperability component. Then, the system determines which of the one or more transaction processors will process transactions for the application and establishes a communication link between the transaction processor interoperability component and the transaction processor that will process transactions for the application.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling the height of packaging above an integrated circuit package (30) comprising, a substrate (12), a silicon chip (16) and a signal wire (20), one or more height detection wires (32) extending above the top surface (26) of the silicon chip (16) and the signal wire (20) and a detector electrically connected to the height detection wire (32), wherein the height detection wire (32) and the detector form an electric circuit that is affected when a polisher of encapsulant (40) is in proximity to the height detection wire (32), is disclosed.

Abstract: A circuit device for selecting operating modes using a single reference pin that uses current rather than voltage in an electronic subsystem. An operating mode is selected by modulating the input bias current over a range of values. A specific range is associated with a given function so that a value of current can assume a parametric input into the subsystem. The circuit has widespread application since current can be modulated faster than voltage and it eliminates the need for multiple voltage reference points.
