Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for paging devices in a communication network. A network device providing mobility management through control messaging can be assigned a number of cell sites in multiple tracking areas. The network device such as a mobility management entity (MME) can use a subscriber-aware implementation to provide a hierarchy for contacting a mobile device with a page. The subscriber-aware implementation can be tailored to analyze subscriber activity such as frequency and timing, to page a subset of the total number of cell sites in multiple tracking areas based on the subscriber activity, and to expand the subset after unsuccessful attempts to page the mobile device.

Abstract: A process for conducting equilibrium-limited chemical reactions that produce water as a reaction product. Specifically, a process that uses a reactive chromatography unit (RCU) to improve the efficiency of equilibrium-limited reactions, such as a process for reacting glycol ether (GE) and carboxylic acid (CA) to form water and glycol ether ester (GEE). The process includes supplying GE and CA to the RCU, where one of either the CA or the GE is in a stoichiometric deficit relative to the other reactant. The reactant in the stoichiometric deficit reacts in the presence of the catalyst in the RCU to form a mixture of GEE and water. A raffinate is separated from the mixture using the separation media of the RCU contains at least the GEE. An extract separated from the mixture using the separation media of the RCU contains at least the water.

Abstract: Techniques for minimizing guest OS licensing costs in a volume based licensing model in a virtual datacenter are described. In one example embodiment, a virtual machine (VM) that requires a license key for a type of guest OS installed in the VM is identified. A license key is then assigned to the VM by first attempting to reassign a license key from an inactive VM, and only if a license key is not available for reassignment, obtaining a new license key for the VM.

Abstract: Approaches for processing a digital file in a manner designed to minimize exposure of any malicious code contained therein. A digital file resides with a virtual machine. When the virtual machine receives an instruction to print or digitally transfer at least a portion of the digital file, the virtual machine converts at least a portion of the digital file from an original format to a different format within the virtual machine. The different format preserves a visual presentation of the digital file without supporting metadata or file format data structures of the original format. The virtual machine instructs the host OS to print or digitally transfer the portion of the digital file. The host OS may consult policy data in determining how to service the instruction to print or digitally transfer the digital file.

Abstract: Approaches for transferring a file using a virtualized application. A virtualized application executes within a virtual machine residing on a physical machine. When the virtualized application is instructed to download a file stored external to the physical machine, the virtualized application displays an interface which enables at least a portion of a file system, maintained by a host OS, to be browsed while preventing files stored within the virtual machine to be browsed. Upon the virtualized application receiving input identifying a target location within the file system, the virtualized application stores the file at the target location. The virtualized application may also upload a file stored on the physical machine using an interface which enables at least a portion of a file system of a host OS to be browsed while preventing files in the virtual machine to be browsed.

Abstract: Voice call continuity is provided for calls that are carried over a hybrid network infrastructure in which access connections are distributed over loosely coupled network portions including a backend network such as a core VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service network, one or more cellular mobile networks, and a public switched telephone network (“PSTN”). The calls are routed through the core VoIP network regardless of their points of origination or termination in other network portions so that signaling and call context are anchored in the core VoIP network. The conditions under which user equipment operate are continuously monitored so that when a connection is determined to have been unacceptably degraded or is likely to be interrupted, and/or a more optimal connection is available, a handover of the call to another connection is initiated so that call continuity is maintained using the lowest cost connection that provides acceptable call quality.

Abstract: To schedule user equipments (UEs) in a scheduling period, for each of X cells in a carrier aggregation (CA) system relative priorities of data bearers are determined. Each data bearer is associated with a respective UE having buffered data and at least one of the UEs is a CA-UE that is allowed radio resource allocation to its associated data bearers in at least two of the cells. For each CA-UE, the buffered data of the CA-UE is distributed across those cells in which the CA-UE and its associated bearers are allowed resource allocation using a measure of total data throughput for each of those cells. For each of the X cells resources are allocated to the data bearers according to the relative priorities such that for each CA-UE the resources allocated to its associated data bearers across those cells are sufficient to carry the buffered data as distributed.

The address information of the network device is stored in an address table. The address information is associated with a site identifier that identifies a second site at which the network device is located. The site identifier is mapped to an identifier associated with a second edge device that is responsible for routing traffic to network devices at the second site.

Abstract: Fracturing slurries are prepared on the fly using a solids pump to feed the solid such as a gel into a liquid stream of normally water for pumping downhole with a large capacity triplex pump. The solids pump is preferably a Posimetric® style which delivers the solid into the fluid pipeline in a manner that keeps fluid from backing into the solids hopper above the solids pump. A separate fluid tank is connected to a fluid pump to pressurize a suction line to a boost pump before reaching the triplex pump and pumping into the subterranean formation. The solids pump can deliver between the fluid and boost pumps in which case the solids go through the triplex pump or alternatively the solids can be delivered into the higher pressure discharge line of the triplex pump.

Abstract: Techniques for modifying the appearance of objects comprising a two-dimensional vector drawing are disclosed. Such modifications can be made in response to user input that manipulates a viewing perspective for the drawing. Before a user manipulates the viewing perspective for given scene, information relating to the objects comprising the scene is stored in a data structure. Such information may include, for each object in the scene, a two-dimensional projection of the object onto a reference plane and parameters characterizing the reference plane. Once the user has finished defining the modified viewing perspective, the objects are projected from the reference plane to the modified perspective. The parameters characterizing the reference plane are applied to ensure that the object is rendered at the correct orientation and depth in the modified perspective. Objects comprising the scene can thus be automatically updated in response to the user's manipulation of the viewing perspective.
