The method may further comprise identifying a main service in the list of existing services and determining if there is a partial match of services between the main service and a service included in one or more available service bundles, and if so, migrating the subscriber to the one or more available service bundles with the partial match. A subscriber may be manually migrated if migration is not possible with an exact match or partial match.

  • Publication number: 20060123716
    Abstract: A conduit assembly for supporting a cover of a maintenance structure with a passage therein. The conduit assembly includes one or more conduit segments. Each conduit segment has at least one aperture, an also includes top and bottom surfaces adapted to be positioned adjacent to bottom and top surfaces respectively of other conduit segments to form a conduit structure having a conduit passage therein alignable with the passage. The conduit structure has an inner wall surface defining the conduit passage and an opposed outer wall surface adapted to receive a coating of mortar. The conduit assembly also includes one or more shims for positioning on the top surface of the conduit segment, for locating the cover substantially at a predetermined position therefor.

  • Patent number: 4871677
    Abstract: An inhibitor of platelet-related procoagulant activity is included in a collection medium into which a whole blood sample is collected. The inhibitor prevents an initial drop in the recalcified activated clotting time measured during an assay test conducted on the whole blood sample collected in citrate in the medium. The discovery of the problem of the initial drop in the activated clotting time and the solution of including the inhibitor of the procoagulant activity is of considerable importance in heparin therapy, since the initial drop in the activated clotting time of heparinized blood is substantial. The inhibitor can be included with a calcium chelating agent in the collection medium. Prostacylin and imidazole, which is an inhibitor of platelet thromboxane A2 synthesis, are effective inhibitors of this platelet-related procoagulant activity.

  • Patent number: 4782026
    Abstract: An inhibitor of Platelet Factor 3 activity is included in a collection medium into which a whole blood sample is a collected. The inhibitor of Platelet Factor 3 activity, it has been discovered, prevents an initial drop in the activated clotting time measured during an assay test conducted on the whole blood sample collected in the medium. The discovery of the problem of the initial drop in the activated clotting time and the solution of including the inhibitor of Platelet Factor 3 activity is of considerable importance in heparin therapy, since the initial drop in the activated clotting time of heparinized blood is substantial.
