Abstract: In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for supporting wireless access network service request capability in a user equipment (UE) device that is operable in wide area cellular network (WACN) bands as well as in wireless access network bands (e.g., GAN bands and/or UMA bands). The UE device includes capability for gaining Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity with a wireless access network node (e.g., a GAN controller (GANC) or UMA network controller (UNC)). Thereafter, the UE device is operable to initiate a registration request message towards the wireless access network node, wherein the registration request message includes at least one information element pertaining to wireless access network services required by the UE device.

Abstract: Photoluminescent devices having photoluminescent strip which may be either single extruded or co-extruded, which can be easily, readily and safely installed practically in/with almost any structure/place (buildings, ships, modular structures, prefabs, rigs, platforms, stages, mines, tunnels, subterranean networks and structures, outdoor fields, vehicle, craft, etc) in order to provide a light source during low level lighting or darkness. The said devices can be fixed to substratum with the means such as double-sided adhesive, screw, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to the conditioning of bowling lanes, and, more particularly to an apparatus and method for automatically applying a predetermined pattern of dressing fluid along the transverse and longitudinal dimensions of a bowling lane.

Abstract: The invention provides certain novel metal oxide materials which exhibit superconductivity at elevated temperatures and/or which are useful in electrode, electrolyte, cell and sensor applications, or as electrochemical catalysts. The metal oxide materials are generally within the formula Rn+1−u−sAuMm+eCunOw  (1) where n≧0 and n is an integer or a non-integer, 1≦m≦2, 0≦s≦0.

Abstract: Polymer is recovered by ultrafiltration from a whitewater waste stream generated during the production of a polymer latex. The whitewater stream is circulated through an ultrafiltration system in laminar flow, under conditions of shear insufficient to destabilize the whitewater emulsion, and the recovered polymer is in the form of an emulsion which may be blended at significant levels into the original polymer latex without degrading its performance properties.

Abstract: The compound, according to formula (i) wherein X and Y are independently CH, N or N-oxide, provided that X and Y do not both represent CH; Z is CO or CS; R1 is alkyl, optionally substituted with one or more halogens; and R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each various organic groups. Such compounds have therapeutic utility, via inhibition of phosphodiesterase IV.

Abstract: A method for forming a conductor element comprising a Tl or Hg-based high temperature superconductor (HTSC) material, comprises providing at least one first precursor material within an outer sheath for the conductor element; providing at least one second precursor material within the conductor sheath and separated from the first precursor material(s) by a barrier layer formed from a Noble metal for example between the first and second precursor materials; and heating the conductor sheath containing the precursors to a temperature at which the barrier layer melts to allow the precursor materials to mix and react, or to a temperature at which one of the precursor material(s) diffuses through the barrier layer sufficiently allow the precursor materials to mix and react, to form the Tl or Hg-HTSC material within the outer conductor sheath.
