Abstract: A portable communications device (PCD) is coupled to a first network by way of a second network. The PCD is normally in radio communication with the first network, and is coupled to the first network by way of the second network when the PCD is out of radio communication with the first network. In particular, the PCD is coupled to the second network, and is caused to leave a first network mode and enter a second network mode. A network connection is established with the first network by way of the second network, and communication with the first network is entered into by way of the second network.

Abstract: One-component adhesives/sealants comprising surface-deactivated solid polyisocyanates and, optionally, isocyanate-reactive, liquid binders can be rapidly cured below the conventional thickening temperature by irradiating with microwaves, for example microwaves of at least 2 wavelengths. This process is particularly suitable for adhesively joining plastic substrates.

Abstract: A method of coupling a wireless portable communications device (PCD) to an electronic mail server network by way of a public wireless communications network is disclosed. The PCD is normally in communication with the electronic mail server network by way of a private wireless communications network, and is coupled to the electronic mail server network by way of the public wireless communications network when the PCD is out of communication with the electronic mail server network by way of the private wireless communications network. In particular, the PCD is coupled to the public wireless communications network, and is caused to leave an electronic mail server network mode and enter a public wireless communications network mode. A network connection is established with the electronic mail server network by way of the public wireless communications network, and communication with the electronic mail server network is entered into by way of the public wireless communications network.

Abstract: A cradle for accepts a portable communications device (PCD) that is normally in radio communication with a first network. The cradle couples the accepted PCD to the first network by way of a second network when the PCD is out of radio communication with the first network. The PCD includes an externally accessible port from which communications data is accessible, and the cradle is sized to accept the PCD. The cradle has a port connector for coupling with the externally accessible port of the accepted PCD, a network connector for coupling the cradle and by extension the PCD to the second network, and a network communications device for interfacing between the port connector and the network connector.
