Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for reducing and/or optimizing signaling messages between a radio access network (RAN) node and a core network based on an operation mode of the RAN node may include a core network server including: a memory storing computer readable instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions to establish a control plane connection with at least one radio access network (RAN) node, the at least one RAN node supporting at least a first connection mode and a second connection mode, determine a connection mode of the at least one RAN node, and restrict transmission of at least one signaling message to the at least one RAN node based on results of the determining the connection mode of the at least one RAN node.

Abstract: A system for the identification of sample types and method of using same. The system and method including an optical mechanism, and a detector. The system accepts a sample, directs input light from the optical mechanism onto that sample, producing output light that is received by the detector. The detector produces a sample-derived spectrum for classification. The present disclosure provides for a classification method to classify spectrum into one of many sample types, preferably plastic types.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of use are provided; the apparatus having at least a degasser, a hollow core fiber HCF, an optical mechanism, a detector, and circuitry. The degasser enables gasses to permeate out of a liquid into the degasser interior. The propagator establishes a low-pressure area that helps to pull the gas from the degasser interior into the HCF interior, where the optical mechanism delivers electromagnetic radiation EMR that interacts with the gas. The detector determines EMR absorption, producing output signals which are sent to the circuitry. Circuitry controls the optical mechanism and analyzes the output signals to quantify the concentration of gas in the HCF and in the liquid.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process to using an aminopyridinate scandium or yttrium metal (typically scandium) catalyst compound to produce ethylene conjugated diene copolymers, preferably ethylene isoprene copolymers having: 1) from 75 to 90 mol % ethylene; 2) from 10 to 25 mol % isoprene; 3) a Tg of 0° C. or less; 4) 1,4 isomer present at 60 wt % or less; 5) 3,4 and 1,2 present at 40% or more; 6) Mn of 250,000 g/mol or less; and 7) optionally, a Tm of 100° C. or less.
