Granted: 2013-09-17
Abstract: A method of network selection for a wireless user device (1) in radio 5 communication with a first access point of one or more networks, via at least one of a plurality of access points (3, 5, 6) comprises sending a network selection request (2) from the wireless user device to the first access point (3). If the network wishes to initiate a response from another access point in the same or another network, the first access point forwards (13, 14) the network selection request to one or more 10 neighbouring access points (5, 6), in the same or another network. If any of the neighbouring access points (3, 5, 6) is able to communicate with the user device, that neighbouring access point sends a response directly to the wireless user device and the wireless user device chooses the most suitable network from the responses sent.

Filed: 2007-04-03
Granted: 2011-02-15
Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a shank attachment device capable of transmitting a comparatively high rotational torque and reducing in size.     A shank attachment device is configured to attach a core drill to a rotating portion of a drill device and includes an arbor and a shank. The arbor is detachably attachable to the rotating portion. The arbor and the shank are detachably attachable to each other. The shank is detachably attachable to the core drill. A stopper member of the arbor engages with a stopper groove of the shank to stop a movement of the shank in an axial direction away from the arbor. A rotational torque of the arbor can be transmitted to the shank by engaging a first engaging portion of the arbor with a first engaged portion of the shank. The shank contacts the arbor to stop the movement of the shank in the axial direction toward the arbor.

Abstract: A social network allows its members to regulate what data is accessible to other members using one or more privacy settings. A particular member of the social network can modify the one or privacy settings to grant or deny different users access to different data. When a member modifies a privacy setting, the social network determines which information pathways communicating data between members are affected. The affected information pathways are then modified responsive to the privacy setting to communicate data identified by the modified privacy setting and enforce the new privacy restrictions.

Abstract: A door handle attachment fixture for pivotally attaching a door handle to an existing escutcheon, comprising a door handle with protruding hub for insertion through an escutcheon, a wear washer, a spindle nut, a spindle nut retainer, and a shaft retainer. The hub is externally threaded for engagement with the internal threads of the spindle nut, and has a central, longitudinal hole and axial slots. The axial slots engage with locking tabs of the spindle nut retainer. The wear washer is inserted over the hub between the inside surface of the escutcheon and the spindle nut. The spindle nut is adjusted on the hub until the proper fit and feel is achieved. Once adjusted, the spindle nut retainer is placed over the spindle nut to lock it in position, and a shaft retainer is placed over the spindle nut retainer to secure it. The spindle nut provides more contact surface area with the underlying wear washer, and this reduces cyclic wear and increases product life and reliability. Further, the door handle attachment fixture provides a lower profile plus a much stronger attachment that increases product security.

Abstract: In producing high-quality steel with use of copper-containing steel scraps as an iron source, the copper-containing steel scraps are melted with addition of carbon to produce hot metal for steelmaking, then, copper contained in the hot metal is removed by sulfur-containing flux, and sulfur contained in the hot metal is removed. With this method, the copper in the steel scraps can be removed efficiently and without the need for large facilities. Preferably, the sulfur-containing flux used is flux having Na2S as the main component. The treatment for removing copper in the hot metal is preferably carried out with use of refining equipment with mechanical stirrer or by the flux injecting method.  Besides, it is preferable that a shaft furnace having a coke bed formed inside is used to produce hot metal having a higher concentration of sulfur for the copper removal treatment.
