Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for provisioning radio-based networks with locality rules. In one embodiment, at least one locality rule associated with an organization is accessed. The locality rule(s) require that at least a subset of network traffic for a radio-based network remain within a particular geographic area. The radio-based network includes a radio access network and an associated core network. A topology for the radio-based network is determined based at least in part on the locality rule(s). The radio-based network is provisioned or reconfigured for the organization to have the topology complying with the at least one locality rule.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for locality-based network slicing in radio-based networks. In one embodiment, network traffic is received via a network slice in a radio-based network. The radio-based network includes a radio access network and an associated core network. The network slice is associated with at least one locality rule requiring that the network traffic remain within a particular geographic area. It is determined that the radio-based network has resources to comply with the locality rule(s). The network traffic in the radio-based network is acted upon in order to comply with the locality rule(s).

Abstract: Machine direction oriented coextruded multilayer film structures for use as labelstock and die cut adhesive labels are described. The labelstocks comprise extruded machine direction oriented multilayer films and an adhesive layer. The multilayer film structures include skin layers made from a mixture of 70% to about 99.9% by weight of at least one propylene polymer, and from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of at least one ethylene polymer, or from about 0.1% to about 25% by weight of at least one propylene polymer, and from about 75% to about 99.9% by weight of at least one ethylene polymer. The coextruded multilayer films are stretch oriented in the machine direction at a temperature at about or above the melting temperature of the polyethylenes and optionally include an adhesive layer and release liner.

Abstract: Articles, such as containers, having labels affixed thereon and methods for application of labels to articles, such as containers, are disclosed.

Abstract: Shrinkable film layers having a blend of (i) one or more polymers with a high glass transition temperature, and (ii) one or more polymers with a low glass transition temperature are disclosed. Methods for preparing such film layers are also disclosed.

Abstract: Films having shrinkage percentage values based, at least in part, upon the core layer densities of the films are disclosed. Methods for manufacturing such films are also disclosed. In addition, methods for selecting a core layer density of a film to obtain a desired film shrinkage percentage are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides, a system and method for unobtrusively determining water content within a fuel cell. One embodiment of a system in accordance with the present invention includes a fuel cell body including an ionomeric membrane, water and a fluorophore contained therein. The system further includes a medium for permitting light transfer therein, such as an optical fiber, having opposing ends, wherein one end contacts or is disposed in a portion of the ionomeric membrane and the other end extends from the fuel cell body. The other end is preferably divided into at least two portions, one portion being operatively associated with a light source, and another portion being operatively associated with a spectrometer.
