Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for simultaneously generating a plurality of polynucleotide sequencing ladders or PCR amplification products. Each sequencing ladder is generated from a recoverable primer, i.e., an oligonucleotide primer comprising a recovery tag. The recovery tag may be an oligonucleotide. Each sequencing ladder has a unique recovery tag. After the generation of the multiple sequencing ladders, the different sequencing ladders are separated from one another, i.e., purified, by binding to recovery tag binding compounds that have been immobilized on one or more solid supports. The recovery tag binding compounds are immobilized on the solid support in an addressable manner, i.e., the recovery tag binding compounds have distinct locations on the solid support. The binding of the sequencing ladders to the recovery tag binding compounds serves to separate the different polynucleotide sequencing ladders present in a given solution.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating routing of a data service call background and foreground service delivery modes are defined. A delivery mode type determiner determines the service delivery mode associated with the data service. If the service delivery mode is a background delivery mode, the data service is effectuated with the intended receiving station instead of being redirected pursuant to a call forwarding, or other service interaction indicia, feature.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for a radio, such as cellular, communication system to facilitate communications between a mobile station and the network infrastructure. When the mobile station registers in the communication system, a dedicated reverse-link channel is allocated to facilitate communications of packet data between the mobile station and the network infrastructure. By providing dedicated channels, the mobile station becomes functionally connected to the network infrastructure and are analogous to a hard wired connection of a computer in a local area network.

Abstract: A mobile station is transitioned between control states in a telecommunications system based on available power at the mobile station. In an embodiment, a mobile station signals the system to indicate that power available to the mobile station is less than or greater than a predetermined threshold and that timers for controlling transitions between packet data service control states are adjusted accordingly. If power is below the predetermined threshold, the time period durations of transition timers for control states that require higher mobile station power can be reduced. The mobile station will then spend less time in those control states, thereby conserving battery power.
