Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a wireless mobile station of a type that is capable of bidirectional communication with a BMI having a SMS center. The method includes the steps of: (a) receiving a SMS message from the BMI; (b) determining if the SMS message has a first transfer format or a second transfer format; (c) if the SMS message is determined to have the first transfer format, processing the SMS message in a conventional manner; (d) if the SMS message is determined to have the second transfer format, parsing the SMS message to locate an Application Identifier entry; (e) determining from the Application Identifier entry if the mobile station supports the identified application; (f) if not, displaying a data entry of the SMS message with a first display format; else, (g) if the mobile station does support the identified application, starting the application and displaying the data entry with a second display format specified by the application.

Abstract: A stream of molten material free falls through a drop tube and impinges on a chill surface adjacent the bottom of the drop tube to form rapidly solidified particulate. The chill surface is so inclined and moved relative to the stream of molten material as to have an upward component of motion counter to the downward direction of fall of the stream to significantly enhance shearing and rapid quenching of molten material striking the chill surface. The resulting solidified particulate is discharged from the chill surface for collection in a particulate collection chamber beneath the chill surface. Production quantities of rapidly solidified particulate can be continuously made.
