Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to transmission of multiple protocol data elements via an interface utilizing a data tunnel over a control channel. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a transmitter or receiver for the transmission or reception of data; a processing element for handling the data of the apparatus; and a connector for the transfer of the data, the connector to connect to a data channel and to connect to a control channel. The processing element is to provide for transfer of data of a first protocol in the control channel, the transfer of data via the control channel including the use of one or more generic commands of the first protocol for the transfer of data of a second protocol. Data of the second protocol is optimized before the data of the second protocol is sent over the first protocol, and the data transfer in the data channel and data transfer in the control channel are simultaneous at least in part.

Abstract: The invention provides for the management of wireless resources, which can reduce call blocking by allowing high priority services, under suitable conditions, to use resources allocated to low priority services. Thus high priority services can pre-empt the usage of wireless resources by low priority services. This has the advantage of reducing call blocking for high priority calls, while permitting low priority calls to have more access to radio resources than conventional systems with the same call blocking rate. Thus a base station can implement a preemption mechanism that would reclaim Walsh Code and Forward Power resources from an active Supplemental Channel (SCH) burst in order to accommodate incoming Fundamental Channel (FCH) requests.

Abstract: A wholly wrapped railroad crosstie comprises an inner core and an outer casing that is made of deformable composite materials. The outer casing is molten and integrally united with and attached to the inner core as a whole when it is formed. The outer casing completely covers the inner core. There's no seam on the crosstie at all. So it successfully avoids the separation and friction of the crosstie. It greatly increases the reliability and service life of the crosstie, and reduces the cost of maintenance.

Abstract: A process for bonding a semi-crystalline or crystalline thermoplastic polymer to a thermosetting polymer component, the process including selecting compatible semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer and uncured thermosetting polymer components wherein the curing temperature of the uncured thermosetting polymer components is above the melting temperature of the semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer. The process includes locating the thermoplastic polymer in contact with the uncured thermosetting polymer component and heating the thermoplastic polymer and uncured thermosetting polymer or thermosetting polymer composite component to the curing temperature of the thermosetting polymer components and the thermoplastic polymer are able to at least partly interpenetrate before the thermosetting polymer cures. The thermoplastic polymer and cured thermosetting polymer component are then cooled such that the thermoplastic polymer is very strongly bonded to the cured thermosetting polymer component.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a wholly wrapped railroad crosstie. It comprises an inner core and an outer casing that is made of deformable composite materials. The outer casing is molted and integrally united with and attached to the inner core as a whole when it is formed. The outer casing completely covers the inner core. There is no seam on the crosstie to prevent the separation and friction of the crosstie which greatly increases the reliability and service life of the crosstie, and reduces the cost of maintenance.
