Abstract: A subscriber unit (26) contains location data that expires after predetermined time periods that are based on the subscriber's mobility. When the location data has not expired, the subscriber unit requests access (108) to a satellite communication system (10) by providing location data within an access request message. The communication system performs a quick check (214) to validate the location data. Accordingly, time-consuming geo-location procedures are avoided when a call is initiated or being received. When the location data has expired, the subscriber unit requests access (110) without providing location data within the access request message. The communication system performs a complete geolocation procedure (210) to determine valid location data for the subscriber unit. The location data is sent (211) to the subscriber unit and time stamped (113).

Abstract: A bracket for attaching at least one vibrator to an ice basket of a pressurized water reactor includes a horizontally extending first armature portion and a horizontally extending second armature portion pivotably attached to the second armature portion. The first and second armature portions have clamps extending downwardly from each of their ends, and each of the clamps includes an arcuate groove extending vertically upwardly from its bottom surface to engage the rim of the ice basket. An attachment portion extends vertically upwardly from and is formed unitarily with the first armature portion, the vibrators being attached to the sides of the attachment portion. The clamps extending from the second armature portion are pivotably connected to and are also laterally adjustable with respect to the first and second ends of the second armature portion.

Abstract: A self stringing jet device for fluid texturing yarn having a yarn needle slidably mounted in the jet body for movement from a preset operating position to a stringup position and back to the preset operating position wherein the pressure of the fluid returns the yarn needle to the preset operating position from the stringup position.
