Abstract: A disclosed method may include (i) checking whether a user plane of a cellular service network connection to a user equipment is operational, (ii) checking whether a control plane of the same cellular service network connection to the user equipment is operational, (iii) determining that one of the user plane and control plane is operational while the other of the user plane and the control plane is not operational such that the cellular service network connection is stalled, and (iv) remediating the cellular service network connection by disabling the one of the user plane and control plane that is operational such that a new cellular service network connection is established. Related systems and computer-readable mediums are further disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a Radio Access Network (RAN) is disclosed. The method involves receiving performance indicators from network elements and organizing them as structured Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The structured KPIs are then arranged in a vector database. By querying the vector database, the network behavior of the RAN can be depicted in near real-time. This method provides an efficient and effective approach to monitor and analyze the performance of a RAN, enabling network operators to make informed decisions and optimize network performance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fabricating lightweight ceramic sand as a building and construction material. More specifically it relates to a novel process of manufacturing sintered synthetic lightweight ceramic sand particulates directly from pond ash and fly ash as a secondary raw material. The said synthetic lightweight ceramic sand can be used as a building material. The novel feature of the invention is to manufacture low cost lightweight sand at high throughput to compete against the fast depleting natural sand and crushed stones.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel, improved, simple and economic process for manufacturing lightweight ceramic sand. The lightweight ceramic sand is produced from the industrial wastes, wherein the major raw materials are fly ash, bauxite residue and biomass-coal fly ash. The present invention relates to the production of new fine particulates at high throughput and at low manufacturing cost to provide an alternative or substitute to the fast-depleting natural sand including crushed stones and lightweight fine aggregates produced from expanded clay, expanded glass and volcanic activities. Lightweight ceramic sand of the present invention can be used as a building and construction material and foundry sand.

Abstract: Described herein are sintered spheres, obtained from red mud, comprising at least aluminium oxide, iron oxides, silicon oxide, and titanium oxide, characterized in that the roundness and the sphericity of the sintered spheres is higher than 0.6. Described is further a process for the production of sintered spheres, comprising the following steps: a) providing red mud, being a residue from alumina production, b) optionally adjusting the pH value of the red mud to a value lower than 9, c) granulating the red mud from step b) under continuous drying, d) sintering the granulate from step c). Described herein is also the use of sintered spheres as proppant in fracking processes or as aggregate or lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) for construction purposes or for geological solidification processes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to lightweight fine ceramic particulates, directly obtained from fly ash, their use in different technical fields and building material compositions comprising the same. Lightweight fine ceramic particulates, especially sintered synthetic sand, as disclosed herein are characterized in that the grading of the particulates is as follows: Sieve size (mm) 2 1 0.5 0.25 Passing (mass-%) >98 55 to 80 30 to 45 2 to 4 Disclosed is further the use of lightweight fine ceramic particulates according to the invention as aggregate for construction purposes, especially in combination with fly ash. Lightweight fine ceramic particulates according to the invention are further used as additive in paint or coating formulations, as foundry sand, additive for waste water treatment, substrate for horticultural purposes, for hydroponic gardening, for green roofing purposes or for applications in geotechnics.
