Abstract: A method for provisioning a communication device with an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profile. The method includes releasing a first eSIM profile by an eSIM management server hosting a plurality of unallocated eSIM profiles, and registering the release of the first eSIM profile by a discovery server. The method additionally includes requesting at least some of the information related to the release of the first eSIM profile from the discovery server, wherein the request includes an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) of the communication device, and retrieving an address of the eSIM management server by the discovery server based on the IMEI. The method further includes providing the address to a local provisioning assistant (LPA) of the communication device by the discovery server, and provisioning the communication device with the first eSIM profile from the eSIM management server by the LPA of the communication device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by an equipment identity register application in the target mobile network, an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of a user equipment (UE) associated with the subscriber and a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) identifier (ID) identifying an inactive SIM card inserted into the UE or an inactive electronic SIM (eSIM) profile installed at the UE, determining that the UE is attempting to attach to the target mobile network for a first time based on the IMEI and the SIM ID, adding an event to an event queue of the target mobile network, and processing the event by accessing subscriber data stored at the source mobile network to validate that the IMEI of the UE is indicated in the subscriber data stored at the source mobile network, wherein the subscriber data includes a subscriber account indicated by the IMEI of the UE.

Abstract: A heating assembly that receives pre-loaded two part epoxy cartridges and heats them in a controlled manner for spray application. Further, the heating assembly is modular in nature such that a plurality of pre-loaded cartridges can be efficiently loaded therein and uniformly heated. The heating assembly is a bag of durable construction and is structured to be heat resistant. The bag has a bottom, sides extending upwardly from the bottom and a operable panel at the top thereof to allow access to the interior of the bag. At least one wall of the bag includes a heater panel formed therein. More preferable more than one wall of the bag includes a heat panel therein. The panels are configured and arranged to impart heat to the interior of the bag while preferably being insulated about the exterior.

Abstract: An improved cartridge structure that both heats the materials contained therein and provides for enhanced structure such that the bypass leaking of the low viscosity heated components is avoided. The cartridge is preferably formed from a rigid material such as reinforced fiberglass tubing. The wall of the cartridge is then wrapped in a flexible heating element or has a heating element cast directly in the wall thereof. The heating elements preferably heat the interior contents and epoxy cartridges to between 150 degrees and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The wall structure may be of single wall construction with the heaters embedded therein or of a double wall construction such that the heaters are contained between an inner and outer wall. Further the wall construction is preferably formed to withstand the pressures applied when spray applying the epoxy contained therein to prevent the tube wall deformation and resulting blow by leakage.

Abstract: A composition and method for spray-applying a two-part, self-setting composition containing a structural reinforcement component that is particularly adapted for delivering the components of the composition at a temperature that promotes their spray application as well as a self-setting reaction. The method includes selecting a self-setting compound that is adapted for curing in place once applied, the self-setting compound including at least one reinforcing material; and applying the compound to a substrate. Alternately, a self-curing compound includes a multi-part compound which, upon a mixing of the parts, chemically reacts and cures, and at least one reinforcing material dispersed into at least one of the parts, wherein the reinforcing material enhances the strength of the coating upon application of the compound.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for playing an instant win gaming ticket. An instant win gaming ticket has multiple instant win games which can be played by the player. The amount won per game is dependent on the results of at least one previous game on the same ticket. The player plays the games on a single ticket and the amount the player wins for each game depends on whether previously played games on the same ticket were won or lost.

Abstract: A computer processor device provides a dependency tree representing (i) relationships among all the infrastructure elements in a computer system that are related to delivery of a service by a computer system, and (ii) how the infrastructure elements interact with each other in a delivery of said service, wherein a state of an infrastructure element is impacted only by states among its immediately dependent infrastructure elements of the dependency tree. The computer processor device determines the state of the service by checking current states of infrastructure elements in the dependency tree that immediately depend from the service.
