Abstract: Examples of sliding hitch assemblies, and locking mechanisms therefor are disclosed. Sliding hitch assemblies include a pair of slide rails slidably supporting a fifth wheel. Each of the slide rails in turn includes a driving position locking pin that selectively locks the fifth wheel in a driving position, and a maneuvering position locking pin that selectively locks the fifth wheel in a maneuvering position. A cam member is slidably mounted inside each slide rail, and includes a first cam surface that unlocks the driving position locking pin when the cam member is in a first position, and a second cam surface that unlocks the maneuvering position locking pin when the cam member is in a second position. The fifth wheel is mounted on a pair of downwardly facing U--shaped members slidably supported on the slide rails, and a wear block is interposed each slide rail and a corresponding one of the U-shaped members. An adjustable element may be moved relative to the corresponding one of the U-shaped members to stay adjacent the one of slide rails as the wear block wears during use.

IPC: H04W36/34

Abstract: To handle a communication session at a wireless mobile communications device, after receiving an indication of current signal strength of an access point for a wireless local area network ("WLAN") a signal strength threshold associated with the access point is retrieved. If the communication session is currently carried by a cellular network and the current signal strength exceeds the signal strength threshold, the communication session is switched from the cellular network to the WLAN. A metric is then adjusted based on timing of the switch relative to any switch of the communication session from the WLAN to the cellular network over a preceding time window associated with the access point. Based on the metric, the signal strength threshold associated with the access point is selectively adjusted. If, on the other hand, the communication session is currently carried by the WLAN  and the current signal strength is below the signal strength threshold, an attempt is made to switch the communication session from the WLAN to the cellular network and a metric associated with the access point is adjusted based on whether or not the switch failed. Based on this second metric, the signal strength threshold associated with said access point is adjusted.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a modified animal fiber, the method includes step 1(31, 32) of pre-oxidizing a cystine bond (-S-S- bond) present in an epidermal cell of an animal fiber to bring the cystine bond into a low oxidation state, step 2(33) of oxidizing with ozone the pre-oxidized -S-S- bond to bring the -S-S- bond into at least one high oxidation state selected from di-, tri-, and tetra-oxidation states, and step 3(34) of reductively cleaving the -S-S- bond in a high oxidation state. The method imparts shrink resistance and pilling resistance to an animal fiber. In the step 2(33) ozone is microdispersed in an aqueous solution comprising an anionic surfactant having a C8-24 alkyl group, and the animal fiber is contacted with the ozone.  Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for efficiently producing in a short period of time an animal fiber having excellent shrink resistance that barely undergoes felting when washed in an aqueous system in shrink proofing an animal fiber using ozone.
