Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the intelligent, automated, and dynamic selection of anchor evolved Node Bs (“eNBs”) for Next Generation Node Bs (“gNBs”) in a Non-Standalone (“NSA”) wireless network environment. An eNB may be selected as an anchor eNB based on distance to a particular gNB, and one or more sectors of the anchor eNB may be selected as anchors based on coverage areas associated with the sectors. Sectors of additional eNBs may be identified based on frequent handovers between the identified sectors of the anchor eNB and sectors of the additional eNBs. Selected eNBs and/or sectors may be notified of the designation as an anchor, and may thus provide gNB carrier information to connected User Equipment (“UE”), which may facilitate the connection of such UEs to the gNB.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a ceramic prosthesis of high aluminum oxide suite for the tibial plateau of a knee joint with the superior (upper) portion of the prosthesis being of a high density Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 having a very low porosity and the inferior (lower) portion being of high density Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 having a high degree of porosity capable of accepting bone growth. The method of fabricating the prosthesis comprises mixing a powdered batch of high aluminum oxide material to produce a viscous slip, adding a foaming agent to the slip, adding a catalyst to the slip to decompose the foaming agent, infiltrating the slip into a sponge, drying the composite, producing a planar surface on the porous layer, fabricating a second denser layer, placing a slurry between the two layers, drying and sintering the laminate.
