Abstract: A system and a method are provided for managing network activation with a carrier and registration with a service provider. In one example, the method determines a network activation status. If the network is not activated, a utility is used to perform the activation. Further, the status of registration with a provider is determined. If not registered, a request is sent to a server of the service provider for a registration file configured to gather user registration information. The registration file is then received from the server. The registration file is executed on the personal computer. Data gathered by the registration file is then returned to the service provider's server to complete the registration procedures.

Abstract: The present invention provides a solar concentrator assembly comprising a non-imaging dish concentrator and a photovoltaic receiver for the application of concentrator photovoltaic system that provides uniform solar flux, matches the square or rectangular solar images to the square or rectangular dimension of the photovoltaic receiver and produces high solar concentration ratio. The present invention also provides a solar concentrator assembly that is cost effective and has simpler mechanical structure.

Abstract: A method and device are provided for handling network activation between a computer and a carrier. In one example, the method involves receiving a command to initiate network activation procedures. The network activation status of the computer is then determined. If the computer is network enabled, a request is sent to a device having network activation information. The network activation information is received from the device. The computer is then configured with the network activation information in order to establish network activation with the carrier.

Abstract: A latex article is provided that contains chromium oxide particles dispersed throughout a cured latex layer. The chromium oxide particles render the latex article, or smaller pieces of the latex article, magnetically detectable. The chromium oxide may be present within the latex in combination with magnetically detectable ferrite. The article may include multiple cured latex layers having chromium oxide or magnetically detectable ferrite dispersed throughout the cured latex layers.

Abstract: A preferences option maintains preferences for enabling and disabling notifications for device(s) of an electronic device. The notifications are for any of e-mails, phone calls, or other communications, or events (datebook alarms, for example). One or more devices may produce notifications, and individual preferences for each device may be maintained, or a single set of notifications preferences may direct the output of notifications for each device. The notifications preferences includes a schedule option that allows a time period where the notifications may be specifically enabled or disabled automatically. In one embodiment, the notifications preferences control notifications only, and in other embodiments, the notification preferences control notifications and whether or not the devices themselves are enabled or operating (for example, turning a cell phone device off).
