Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a scope of priority service in a communication system in an emergency event is described. The method includes: at a network device in the communication system: receiving at least one emergency call; determining at least one parameter associated with the at least one emergency call; determining a scope of a priority service in the communication system based on the determined at least one parameter; and reserving resources in the communication system based on the determined scope of priority service.

Abstract: A method and wireless communication system to reduce paging response time for a target mobile station (MS) operable using slotted and unslotted modes in multiple paging location areas of the system includes a first step 300 of receiving a paging request message for the MS. A next step 302 includes setting a paging indicator for the MS. A next step 304 includes broadcasting the paging indicator to all paging location areas of the system. A next step 306 includes operating the MS in unslotted mode upon recognition of the paging indicator. A next step 308 includes paging the MS in a last known location and failing to establish contact with the MS. A next step 310 includes re-paging the MS in selected location areas of the system based on a probability based search algorithm. A next step 312 includes operating the MS in slotted mode again upon successful call processing.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for framing a printing screen comprising a clamping element having a shape to conform to the mug frame with four threaded posts for attaching to a steel baseplate by fasteners. The screen is attached to the mug frame by adhesive and trimmed for screen printing.

Abstract: A self-cleaning filter and vortexer is provided in which a filter rotates over the clean fluid outlet port of a vortexer cannister in the direction of the flow of fluid into the tangential inlet port of the vortexer. The peripheral velocity of a freely rotating filter will approximate the flow velocity of the fluid into the tangential inlet port to enhance the centrifugal acceleration effect of the vortexer and the dynamic cleaning of the filter medium. This acceleration enhances centrifugal separation of the heavier particulates in the vortexer and enhances the dynamic cleaning of the fines and other particulates from the filter medium. The drive mechanism for rotating the filter may be designed to be uneven so as to shake the filter medium as it rotates. The flow of fluid will pass thru the filter medium and be exhausted as a cleaned fluid into the outlet port of the vortexer cannister.
