Abstract: A method and system for conveying media independent handover (MIH) capability information are disclosed. A wireless communication system includes a plurality of wireless networks deployed under different wireless communication protocols. A multi-mode wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may perform a handover from one wireless network to another for continuous reception of services.

Title: Efficiency promoting water drinking container for animals
Inventor: SPIEGEL H JAY
IPC: A01K7/02
Filed: 2008-04-08
Abstract: A first embodiment of the present invention contemplates a rectangular cubic container including five sub-chambers generally separated from one another by parallel partitions, with each partition having a small weep hole near its bottom. The weep holes are designed to facilitate equalization of water level in each sub-chamber. Each sub-chamber has an elongated length dimension and a width that is relatively narrow and designed to approximate the width of an animal's tongue. When an animal is drinking water from one of the sub-chambers of this embodiment, as the tongue is lapping, the sides of the tongue are close to the inner walls of the sub-chamber, thereby precluding some of the water resting on the tongue from falling off the tongue as the water is lifted into the animal's mouth. In this way, the efficiency of drinking using the lapping technique is enhanced. The inventive device may be made with sub-chambers having differing widths to accommodate to animals of different sizes and different tongue widths. In a further embodiment, a second sub-chamber provides a reservoir for replenishing the first sub--chamber as it drains down through a small weep hole near the bottom of a common wall between the sub-chambers. The second sub-chamber may be designed to receive an inverted bottle filled with water so that continuous replenishment of the drinking sub-chamber through a weep hole connecting the supply sub-chamber may be accomplished.
Patent CA-2630594-A1 (CA)
Title: Expansion of a stacked register file using shadow registers
Inventor: KAPOOR ROHIT
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2006-11-13
Abstract: One or more Shadow Register Files (SRF) are interposed between a Physical Register File (PRF) and a Backing Store (BS) in a shadow register file system.  The SRFs comprise dual-port registers connected serially in a chain of arbitrary depth from the PRF. A Register Save Engine has random access to one port of the registers in the final SRF in the chain, and saves/restores data between the final SRF and the BS, e.g., RAM. As PRF registers are deallocated from calling procedures for use by called procedures, data are serially shifted from multi-port registers in the PRF through successive corresponding dual-port registers in SRFs, and are serially shifted back toward the multi-port registers as the PRF registers are reallocated to calling procedures.  Since no procedure can access more than the number of registers in the PRF, the effective size of the PRF is increased, using less costly dual-port registers.

Title: Apparatus and method for facilitating the replacement of an implanted catheter
Inventor: MORAN BYRON L
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2007-01-06
Abstract: A medical apparatus and method of use for implanting a percutaneous catheter in a patient's body which catheter can be easily positioned, repositioned, and replaced. The apparatus includes an elongate sleeve comprising a wall surrounding an interior elongate passageway. The passageway extends from a sleeve proximal end to a sleeve distal end. The sleeve is intended to be percutaneously implanted through an incision in the patient's skin so that the sleeve distal end resides subcutaneously. The sleeve outer peripheral surface carries a layer of porous material intended to be placed just under the patient's outer skin layer in contact with the dermis to promote tissue ingrowth for anchoring the sleeve and forming an infection resistant barrier. The sleeve passageway is dimensioned to snugly accommodate the outer surface of catheter while permitting the catheter to slide relative to the sleeve. A sealing device is mounted around the catheter adjacent to the sleeve proximal end to prevent deleterious material from migrating into the patient's body along the catheter outer surface.

Patent CA-2642541-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ONIKUBO AKIRA
IPC: D21F7/08
Filed: 2007-01-31
Abstract: This invention provides a press felt (10) for papermaking, comprising a substrate (30), a wet paper-side vat layer (20) and a press-side vat layer (23). The wet paper-side vat layer (20) comprises a wet paper contact-side vat layer (21) and a substrate-side vat layer (22). The wet paper contact-side vat layer (21) comprises a core-sheath composite fiber (41) comprising a core component of a high-molecular weight nylon having an absolute viscosity of not less than 80 mPa·s and a sheath component of a nylon having a lower melting point than the core component. The substrate-side vat layer (22) comprises a layer of a nylon fiber (42) free from the core-sheath composite fiber (41). The sheath component of the core-sheath composite fiber (41) is melted to render the wet paper contact-side vat layer (21) dense, and, consequently, moisture in the press-side vat layer (23) is less likely to be moved to the wet paper side, whereby a remoistening phenomenon can be suppressed. Further, since the substrate-side vat layer (22) comprises a nylon layer free from the core-sheath composite fiber, the balance among smoothness, defiber resistance, abrasion resistance, compression fatigue resistance, and water drainage is good.

Title: Reducing method of water from reactor outlet gas in the oxidation process of aromatic compound
Inventor: KANG KI JOON
IPC: B01D53/02
Filed: 2007-02-15
Abstract: A method of reducing or eliminating inflow of water to a dehydration tower using steam for separating water from a carboxylic acid from a reactor outlet gas produced in a reactor during oxidation of an aromatic compound in a carboxylic acid solvent to produce an aromatic acid, for example, oxidation of p-xylene in acetic acid solvent to produce terepthalic acid. The aromatic compound is introduced at the top of an absorption tower and collects ascending carboxylic acid solvent, introduced in the reactor outlet gas at the bottom of the absorption tower, for reintroduction into the reactor eliminating the need to remove and recover the solvent. The absorption tower, condensers and an organic-water separator remove the water in the reactor outlet gas as waste water, and the amount of water inflow to the dehydration tower is reduced or eliminated, as is the amount of steam required for separation.
