Abstract: In a multi-subscription wireless communication device with a shared radio frequency (RF) resource supports an active data communication on a first network of a first SIM by performing tune-aways to support a subscription on a second SIM. After a tune-away of the shared RF to the second network, the wireless communication device may identify scheduled packet downlink acknowledgment/non-acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) message transmissions on the modem stack associated with the first SIM. The wireless communication device may determine whether a next scheduled packet downlink ACK/NACK (PDAN) message transmission to the first network is missed, and if so, increment a PDAN failure counter on the modem stack associated with the first SIM. If the value of the PDAN failure counter on the modem stack associated with the first SIM is equal to a preset threshold, the wireless communication device may force the shared RF resource to tune back to the first network.

Abstract: An optical apparatus comprising: a source and a loop. The source generates a pump. The resonating cavity of the source includes: a gain medium; and a tunable filter for selecting a wavelength. The loop comprises: an input coupler; a waveguide; and an output coupler. The input coupler receives the pump and a signal and outputs the pump and the signal into the waveguide In the waveguide, energy in the pump is transferred into energy in the signal while a relative center position of the signal is crossing a center position of the pump in a first direction while both are passing through the waveguide and into the output coupler. The output coupler r outputs a first portion of the signal and a second portion of the signal is fed into the input coupler as the signal, completing the loop.

Abstract: A multi-function latch and latch bolt are configured as a pair of mechanical fastener to be installed on a gate for the purpose of holding the gate in closed position, and that a person standing on the inside of the fence can disengage the latch hook bracket from the latch bolt, or disengage the latch bolt from the latch hook bracket in any of which method to unlatch and open the gate from inside the fence even when the outside of the latch is locked. On the other hand, when the latch is not locked on the inside but locked on the outside with an incorporated lock, keyed or combination padlock; then a person standing on the outside of the gate may open the gate if he/she has an appropriate key or knows the combination codes in order to unlock, unlatch and open the gate from outside the fence.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for cracking a hydrocarbon. The method includes contacting a first hydrocarbon stream with a first cracking catalyst at a first cracking temperature in a first riser to produce a first riser effluent and a first spent catalyst. A second hydrocarbon stream is contacted with a second cracking catalyst at a second cracking temperature in a second riser to produce a second riser effluent and a second spent catalyst, where the second cracking temperature is less than the first cracking temperature. The first riser effluent and the second riser effluent are combined to produce a mixed riser effluent, and the mixed riser effluent is fractionated in a fractionation zone to produce a light cycle oil. The first spent catalyst and the second spent catalyst are combined in a reactor to produce a mixed spent catalyst.
