Patent CA-2487474-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOSCHITZKY HENRY
IPC: B05D7/00
Filed: 2004-11-15
Abstract: A shingle formed from a base sheet, with a layer of polymer modified asphalt coating the top of the base sheet, and a layer of conventional oxidized asphalt, free from polymer additives, coating the bottom of the base sheet. Both layers preferably directly contact the strands of the base sheet for good adhesion. This improves the strength, flexibility and ultraviolet resistance of the shingle, while reducing the cost as compared with a shingle which utilized only polymer modified asphalt, and in addition it increases the stiffness of the shingle as compared with one using only polymer modified asphalt.

Abstract: Catalyst composition comprising 5-55 wt% metal-doped anionic clay, 10-50 wt% zeolite, 5-40 wt% matrix alumina, 0-~10 wt% silica, 0-10 wt% of other ingredients, and balance kaolin. In metal-doped anionic clays, the additive, i.e. the metal dopant, is distributed more homogeneously within the anionic clay than in impregnated anionic clays, without separate phases of additive being present. Hence, abrasion of this catalyst composition will result in microfines poorer in additive than the prior art composition. Furthermore, t he catalyst composition according to the invention results in a higher reductio n of sulfur in fuels such as gasoline and diesel than is the case in compositions comprising impregnated anionic clay.

Title: Method for enabling multicast services and user equipment battery savings
Inventor: GOLDBERG STEVEN JEFFREY
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2003-09-25
Abstract: A system and method for providing multicast services to wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) enhances battery life and provides for more efficient use of the radio resources. Each service, or a target group for a service,is assigned an identifier. The identifier is associated with a pointer to the transmission of data. Each WTRU searches for the identifier in order to know when the data will be transmitted. The WTRUs may receive the pointer from a number of different paging windows. The transmission of the data occurs after the last pointer is transmitted in order to guarantee that all the target WTRUs receive a pointer to the data prior to the transmission of the data.
