Abstract: The present invention includes a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying system. The disposable has a spray drying head and a plasma drying chamber. The head has a spray dry nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the plasma source and the pressurized aerosol gas source. The pressurized gas flows in a vortex pattern that atomizes plasma droplets in the chamber. The head also includes a plenum has uniform air pressure of the drying gas. A baffle plate forms the floor of the plenum having drying gas jets that supply drying gas to the chamber. The atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the presence of the drying gas emitted from the jets to obtain dried plasma particles and humid air. A capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows the humid air to pass. The humid air passes through the gas outlet and the exhaust port.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for system resource augmentation are provided. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) internal system resource is monitored. A plurality of communication links are established between the WTRU and an external system resource. The plurality of communication links are used to augment the internal system resource with the external system resource.

Abstract: Usage data is collected during active calls by user equipment (UEs) within a cellular network, the collected information being utilized together with location information to locate any gaps in cellular phone area coverage due to dropped calls. The collected data is analyzed and may be used to reallocate resources to alleviate coverage gaps and thereby increase system efficiency and operator revenue.

Abstract: Disclosed is a low entry force connector socket having a cage with a wire basket formed within it by contact wires which are fixed to the cage in notches on the end rims thereof, and which wires are rotationally offset within the cage to form the wire basket for engaging a connector pin. The wires are mounted in the cage by being hooked on notches provided in the end rims of the cage, and are moved to their rotationally offset orientations in a series of stages, following which they are fixed in position and the external portions of the socket are mounted to enclose the cage while a tool pin is positioned in the wire basket to establish the desired connecting force of the socket.
