Abstract: The present disclosure provides enhanced group recommendation for selection of a service item with respect to a service class, and communicates the enhanced group recommendation to a sub-group of service users. Initial service scores for service items in the service class are generated by aggregating individual service preferences of sub-group members with respect to the service class. Group preferences for service items in the service class are then predicted using statistic data on previous service selections of sub-group members with respect to the service class. The initial service scores are aggregated with the predicted group preferences to generate of weighted service scores with respect to service items in the service class. One of the service items in the service class that has the highest weighted score is the group recommendation is communicated to the sub-group members.

Abstract: In a telecommunication network, a method is carried out for assisting a user terminal (100) in connecting to an access network. The user terminal (100) obtains (s20) information (50), i.e. “tag information”, from an electronic tag or a visual tag. The user terminal (100) transmits (s40), to a network node hosting an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF), i.e. to an “ANDSF node” (200), the tag information (50). The ANDSF node (200) then transmits (s60), to the user terminal (100), credentials (70) for allowing the user terminal (100) to connect to said access network. The invention also relates to methods carried out by a user terminal (100), to methods carried out by an ANDSF node (200), to user terminals (100), to ANDSF nodes (200), to computer programs, and to computer program products for assisting user terminals (100) in connecting to an access network.

Abstract: A method for modifying a fine particle dispersion liquid has excellent dispersibility and dispersion stability. In this method for modifying a fine particle dispersion liquid having improved fine particle dispersibility, impurities included in an agglomeration of fine particles contained in the fine particle dispersion liquid are released into the dispersion liquid by applying physical energy to the agglomeration and performing dispersion processing for dispersion into particles that are smaller than the agglomeration of fine particles. The impurities are removed from the dispersion liquid by means of a removal unit provided with a filtration membrane before reagglomeration is caused by the impurities.

Abstract: A method for modifying a fine particle dispersion liquid with which dispersibility and dispersion stability can be improved includes performing filtration to remove impurities in a dispersion liquid using a dispersion liquid modifying device provided with a removal unit that uses a filtration membrane. The quantity of impurities is reduced from a first region until said quantity reaches a second pH-dependent region. In the second pH-dependent region, the dispersibility of the fine particles in the dispersion liquid is in a range in which the dispersibility depends more on a change in dispersion liquid pH than on a change in the quantity of impurities in the dispersion liquid. With the quantity of impurities reduced to the second pH-dependent region, the dispersibility of the fine particles is controlled by adjusting the pH of the fine particle dispersion liquid.
