Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the present invention perform enhanced services for wireline and wireless subscribers in an integrated wireline and wireless switching system. The enhanced services may include, for example, group dialing plans, message waiting indicator activation, call forwarding, simultaneous ringing, call conferencing, calling line identification, automatic call back, automatic recall, speed dialing services, and/or any other services that may be provided by a switching system to wireless and/or wireline subscribers.

Abstract: A multilayer composite for applying printed graphics to a receptive substrate, comprising: a carrier sheet; a transparent breakcoat having an upper surface releasably bonded to the carrier sheet, and a lower print receptive surface on which graphics are permanently printed; and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive having an upper surface permanently adhered to the thus printed graphics, and a lower surface releasably adhered to a protective liner. The protective liner is separable from the adhesive without disrupting the bond between the carrier sheet and the breakcoat, and the adhesive, and the adhesive is removably bondable to the substrate during a wet out period, after which the carrier sheet is separable from the breakcoat, allowing the breakcoat/graphics/adhesive residue to remain firmly bonded to the substrate.

Abstract: An electrical device includes an interconnect and a pair substrates at least one of which includes an integrated circuit, the pair of substrates being bonded together by a bond that includes a structure having multiple widths and a composition that is selected from the group consisting of a graded material and a first material upon a second material.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a fluid ejection device comprises a substrate having a fluid slot defined from a first surface through to a second opposite surface; an ejection element formed over the first surface and that ejects fluid therefrom; and a filter having feed holes positioned over the fluid slot near the first surface. Fluid moves from the second surface through the feed holes to the ejection element. In a particular embodiment, the filter is formed of a first material that is surrounded by a second material. In another particular embodiment, the filter is formed from the back side and is formed of the same material as the substrate.

Abstract: A through-substrate etching process is monitored by providing a sacrificial electrode in proximity to a desired etch window on the substrate. An etch process is performed on the substrate. The etch process is monitored by measuring an electrical property of either the substrate or the sacrificial electrode or both.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fluidic channel through a substrate includes etching an exposed section on a first surface of the substrate, and coating the etched section of the substrate. The etching and the coating are alternatingly repeated until the fluidic channel is formed.

Abstract: An ink-jet printhead fabrication process and product that uses selectivity rate controlled etch techniques to produce trenches on the frontside of a silicon substrate to define ink feed channels and resistor support regions. Location and size of features is made independent of etch rate by providing a selective etch for the silicon trench etch steps that is greater than 10,000:1 for the silicon:oxide that defines ink feed channels and resistor support areas.

Abstract: A portable curb inlet sediment filter which has a box filter frame and a primary baffle panel defining a filter chamber, to be filled with a particulate filter medium, such as gravel, for sediment removal, and an overflow chamber. The overflow chamber has at least one overflow baffle panel in order to provide a hydraulic opening and a peripheral end cap chamber. The end cap chamber is gravel filled in order to clarify water escaping around the front of the frame and into the hydraulic opening through the side panel. The filter frame and baffle panels are a mesh construction having apertures smaller in size than the particles of gravel to be contained.

Abstract: A paint or varnish composition is described which comprises a medium, such as an alkyd resin, and an anticorrosion agent which is environmentally non-hazardous and soluble or adapted to be soluble in the medium. The composition is suitable for application to a metal substrate and the anticorrosion agent is selected so as to enable a dry paint or varnish film to be obtained on the metal substrate, preferably within 24 hours from the time of application.

Abstract: A polyol-water mixture is applied over the polymeric insulation of the or each conductor core of an electrical cable prior to extruding the polymeric sheath of the cable thereover such that the polymeric sheath is prevented from adhering to the polymeric insulation.

Abstract: This invention relates to toothpaste containing an alumina hydrate abrasive and a source of fluoride.According to the invention, there is provided a toothpaste containing a source of fluoride ions and unmilled, precipitated alumina trihydrate as an abrasive, wherein the alumina trihydrate particles have a median particle size of at least 3 micrometers.The median particle size of the alumina trihydrate is preferably below 30 micrometers, more preferably from 5 to 20 micrometers, and most preferably 8 to 12 micrometers.It has been found that the use of an unmilled alumina trihydrate, obtained by precipitation, substantially reduces the loss of available fluoride on storage whereas the use of a milled alumina trihydrate causes significant loss of available fluoride.

Abstract: This invention relates to toothpaste containing an alumina hydrate abrasive and flavoring.According to the invention, there is provided a toothpaste containing flavoring and unmilled, precipitated alumina trihydrate as an abrasive, wherein the alumina trihydrate particles have a median particle size of at least 3 micrometers.The median particle size of the alumina trihydrate is preferably below 30 micrometers, more preferably from 5 to 20 micrometers, and most preferably 8 to 12 micrometers.It has been found that the use of an unmilled alumina trihydrate, obtained by precipitation, reduces the amount of flavoring material required to obtain a given flavor strength when compared with an equivalent content of milled alumina trihydrate of similar particle size.

Abstract: A moulded container for frangible articles comprising a tray formed with rows of cavities, a cover hinged to the tray along a hinge line, the cavities being of lesser cross section adjacent their bottom than their top whereby the outside walls of the adjacent cavities merge in hollow posts therebetween, said tray having a continous rim along its front edge, said cover having a continuous rim along its front edge, the continuous rim of the cover meeting the continuous rim of the tray when the cover is closed upon the tray, at least one of said hollow posts adjacent the front edge of the tray being a locking post, said locking post extending above the front rim of the tray and having side walls that merge with said rim of said tray, a front face that slopes rearwardly of the rim, and a catch opening formed in its front face, said lid being formed with an inwardly extending latch adapted to underlie the upper edge of said catch opening of said locking post and a support lip adapted to overlie the top of said loc
