Abstract: There are provided measures for (enabling/realizing) network operability on a resource instance level in (a core network of) a mobile/wireless communication system. Such measures may exemplarily comprise that an initiator entity sends a service request for a service operation on a specific resource managed by a responder entity of the network, said service request comprising at least one resource filter specifying a set of resource instances of the specific resource that the service operation is to be performed on, and receives a service response to the service request from the responder entity, said service response comprising a result of performing the service operation on the set of resource instances specified by the at least one resource filter.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software of performing a data repository service. In one embodiment, a data repository Network Function (NF) of a 5G core network is configured to receive a request from an NF service consumer for a service operation regarding storage of a record, and containing meta and/or one or more blocks of the record. The data repository NF is configured to apply encryption to one or more meta tags of the meta and/or to the blocks of the record based on one or more encryption indicators embedded in a meta schema defined for the meta, and to store the record with the one or more meta tags and/or the blocks in encrypted format according to the meta schema.

Abstract: In a search or delete request towards a storage entity storing data in a plurality of records, an identifier list indicating identifiers associated with specific records to be processed is included, and the request including the identifier list is transmitted.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a communication system sets, in a search request serving to retrieve, from a storage entity, records that match filters, an indication which indicates if, for one or more matching records of the records that match the filters, a content of the one or more matching records is to be received in a response to the search request along with references to the records that match the filters, and transmits the search request including the indication.

Abstract: A data store apparatus comprises means for: storing in one or more timer stores of the data store apparatus one or more timers, said timers being associated with data used by a stateless or state efficient consumer network function; monitoring said one or more timers; and in response to a trigger associated with a first timer of the one or more timers causing a notification to be sent to a consumer network function of the first timer.

Abstract: A compressor assembly may include a compressor case disposed about an axis. A bleed valve may be disposed about the compressor case to translate axially and/or rotationally relative to the compressor case. A first seal may be disposed in a forward seal housing of the bleed valve a first radial distance from the axis. A first sealing wall may be fixed relative to the compressor case and configured to engage the first seal. A second seal may be disposed in an aft seal housing of the bleed valve at a second radial distance from the axis. The first radial distance may be substantially equal to the second radial distance. A second sealing wall may be fixed relative to the compressor case and configured to engage the second seal.

Abstract: The bulk volume of large numbers of loose, separated, multiply bent, irregularly shaped scrap sheet metal is temporarily reduced, for transportation and storage of the metal for recycling purposes, by compressing the metal into temporary, compacted wafers formed of successively compacted layers. The apparatus includes a load chamber which is axially aligned with a compression chamber and a reciprocating ram which passes through the chambers towards an anvil plate which closes the discharge end of the compression chamber. A pre-determined quantity of loose pieces is placed within the load chamber. The reciprocating ram compresses the pieces of that batch into a thin layer. Successive batches are compressed into overlapping layers which are temporarily bound together, face-to-face, to form a unitary wafer, by temporarily bending and intertwining the peripheral edges of the layers. The layers are subsequently separated for recycling by depositing into a melt furnace.

Abstract: A system and method for compressing scrap metal. The scrap metal is compressed in a portable container. The container rests on two scales that rest above the ground surface. The fullness of the container is primarily evaluated based on the weight of the container. The scrap metal is initially delivered to a static compactor to which the container is mated. The compactor includes a ram that forces the scrap metal into and compresses the scrap metal in the container. The weight of the container is continually monitored while the container is mated to the compactor. The actuation of the ram is controlled so that, as the amount of scrap metal in the container increases, the frequency with which the ram is actuated increases. After the volume of scrap metal in the container increases above a certain level, each actuation of the ram actual comprises running the ram through plural extension and retraction cycles.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the fullness of a large capacity waste container (20). Each time the a compactor (22) is used to compress the waste in the container a monitoring unit (24) determines the highest hydraulic pressure generated by the compactor during a selected period of compactor use. The monitoring unit also maintains a count of how often the compactor is used. After the container is filled and emptied a number of times, the monitoring unit then divides the highest hydraulic pressures for the uses by the number of uses to obtain a pressure/use value. This pressure/use value is used as a variable to determine a maximum uses value representative of the number of times the compactor can be used before a container is filled. Once a container data representative of how full a container is, and how many compactor uses remain, is calculated by comparing the number of times the container has been used since it was emptied to the maximum uses value.

Abstract: A system (22) for monitoring the fullness of a waste container (20). Waste in the container is compressed by a ram (26). The system includes a sensor (42) for monitoring the force employed to actuate the ram. A container state processor (46) receives the signal from the sensor. The container state processor generates data representative of the fullness of the container. The data generated by the container state processor are transmitted through a modem (50) over the public telephone network to a remote location such as to waste hauler's dispatcher. The system also includes a supervisory processor (58) that is connected to both the container state processor and the modem. The supervisory processor monitors operating state signals generated by both the container state processor (46) and the modem (50). If the operating state signals generated by the container state processor (46) indicate that it is malfunctioning, the supervisory processor (58) attempts to correct for this malfunction.
