Abstract: A device associated with a Voice over IP (VoIP) network receives a call from a mobile device. The device determines whether a sector identifier (ID) associated with the call includes a femtocell identifier. The device further determines a location identifier included in the sector ID when the sector ID includes the femtocell identifier. The device also identifies a recipient of the call based on the location identifier and forwards the call to the recipient.

Abstract: A temporary address assignment server in an IP network assigns a temporary number to use for setting up a mobile terminated call to a mobile station roaming in an IP network. The temporary number is supplied to a switching node, such as a Mobile Switching Center, in a circuit switched network. The Mobile Switching Center sets up a connection with a Media Gateway by sending a call setup message to a Media Gateway Control Function. The call setup message includes the temporary number assigned by the temporary address assignment server. The Media Gateway Control Function uses the temporary number to establish a media session with the mobile station.

Abstract: Cisapride, i.e. cis-4-amino-5-chloro-N-?1-?3-(4 fluoro-phenoxy)propyl!-3-methoxy-4-piperidinyl!-2-methoxy-benzamide, and similar benzamide derivatives, are prepared from novel 1-aryloxyalkyl- or 1-aralkyl-3-arylcarbonyloxy-4-oxo-piperidines, by nuclear substituent re arrangement involving acyl transfer under animal forming conditions, to give the corresponding 1-aryloxyalkyl- or 1-aralkyl-3-hydroxy-4-lower alkoxy-4-arylamido piperidine. This in turn is readily converted to the corresponding 3-oxo-4-arylamido-piperidine by reaction with strong organic acid, which can then be reduced, deprotected and 3-methylated to give the final compound, e.g. cisapride.

Abstract: In a process for making synthetic prostaglandin-type compounds such as misoprostol, organo metallic cuprate complexes capable of reacting with cyclopentenones are prepared by reaction of an alkyl lithium compound with a cuprous halide, followed by reaction of the resulting complex with a vinyl stannane, using an excess of alkyl lithium in the initial reaction and maintaining the excess present during the formation of the organo metallic cuprate complex.
