  • Patent number: 10448301
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a demand for real-time services to a first mobile device, by way of a base station of an LTE system. In response, utilization of a first wireless channel of a first radio of the base station is evaluated. The first radio supports a first wireless service that includes the real-time service and a non-real-time service to a second mobile device within the same cellular region. A handover of the second mobile device to a second radio of the base station is facilitated in response to the utilization. The second radio is configured to support a second wireless service that excludes the real-time service within the same cellular region. Responsive to the handover, the second radio supports the non-real-time service over the second wireless channel to the second mobile device within the cellular region. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050121849
    Abstract: A game wherein a limited number of players have gained entry by purchasing rights of use and, after all purchases have been made, one and only one player wins and obtains the benefits of all of the rights of use of all players. The winning player is selected by a random process originated by both a predictable and a non-predictable event.

  • Patent number: 6890224
    Abstract: A jet-propulsion personal watercraft having improved features over conventional personal watercraft. The personal watercraft includes a hull including primarily an upper hull releasably secured to a lower hull. A gasket is disposed between the upper and lower hulls to seal the interior of the hull. A DC motor is powered by at least one battery and turns a water pump. The batteries are connected in series with a power controller. A gearing mechanism is provided for adjusting the rotational velocity of the motor to achieve the required rotational velocity of the pump. A forced air system is provided to force heat and battery acid fumes from within the hull when the motor is operating. A light circuit includes a switch, a front light and a rear light.

  • Patent number: 4143258
    Abstract: A method of applying a hard facing of an iron or steel former (e.g. a roll of a rolling mill) in which a consumable electrode is melted on to the surface of the former by a submerged arc or gas shielding welding process and in which the former and the welding head are moved relative to one another to deposit a bead of weld metal on to the former. The consumable electrode is chosen to give a weld metal deposit comprising by weight, from 0.03% to 0.12% carbon, from 0.20% to 0.75% silicon, from 0.50% to 1.50% manganese, from 4.50% to 6.50% nickel, from 12.0% to 17.0% chromium, from 1.5% to 2.0% molybdenum, from 1.2% to 2.0% copper, from 0.2% to 0.9% niobium, up to 0.04% sulphur, up to 0.04% phosphorus and up to 0.06% nitrogen, the balance being iron and incidental impurities, the ratio of nickel and copper to the carbide forming elements being chosen to achieve a microstructure of between 3% and 10% delta-ferrite in the interdentritic regions thereof.

  • Patent number: 4091253
    Abstract: Methods of hard facing iron or steel articles by a submerged arc welding process are described. Specifically, an iron or steel rolling mill roll arbor is hard faced by rotating the arbor about its longitudinal axis and traversing a welding head parallel to said axis to deposit a spiral bead of weld metal on the arbor for subsequent heat treatment and machining. Different consumable electrodes and fluxes are chosen to deposit a desired hard facing on the arbor.
