Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for helping to manage advanced handoff to a coverage area based on correlation with a geographic region. A mobile station determines that it is in or approaching a defined geographic region, and the mobile station determines from correlation data that the geographic region is correlated with a particular cellular coverage area. The mobile station therefore requests handoff to the cellular coverage area and provides an advanced-handoff indication to cause the serving radio access network to maintain assignment of a radio connection in the coverage area longer than the network would normally, to help allow time for the mobile station to arrive at the coverage area and begin communicating on the radio connection with the network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a personal care composition.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method communicatively interfaces a Process Automation (PA) application executing on a mainframe computer with a mainframe automation function executing on the mainframe computer. The PA application executes within a services layer, which runs on top of a base Operating System (OS) layer of the mainframe computer. Some automation functions execute within the base OS layer, while other automation functions within the services layer. Therefore, an interface executing within the services layer determines which of the two disparate execution environments is needed to execute a given mainframe automation function, and invokes the function within the appropriate environment.
