Abstract: A wireless communication system and methods thereof are disclosed. A server (e.g., a push-to-talk (PTT) server) determines a multicast message to be a final multicast message for a multicast session having an indeterminate end time. The server inserts a flag into the multicast message, the inserted flag indicating that the flagged multicast message is a final multicast message for the multicast session. The server sends the flagged multicast message to a communication entity (e.g., a radio access network (RAN), a broadcast serving node (BSN), etc.) supporting the multicast session. The communication entity (e.g., RAN, BSN, etc.) receives the multicast message from the server.  The communication entity determines whether the received multicast message includes a flag relating to multicast session termination. The communication entity releases at least one channel associated with the multicast session based on the determining step.

The essence of the invention is a modifier, characterized in that it comprises 50 to 97% of cyclopentadiene oligomers, which are dissolved in 2 to 30% by weight of alkenes with 9-11 carbon atoms in a molecule, and 1 to 15%  by weight of cyclic and aromatic olefins, wherein the latter are segregation residues of other hydrocarbon fractions. The liquid asphalt mass is added to the above-mentioned modifier in a quantity of 0.1 to 15% by weight at a temperature of no more than 185°C and kept in a liquid state for at least 15 minutes. The modified asphalt obtained in this way, together with the mineral additive, forms mineral-asphalt mixtures having a high shear modulus.    The subject of the invention is a modifying agent for asphalts and manner of producing asphalts for asphalt-concrete mixes with high shear rigidity. The nature of the invention is the modifying agent characterized in that is contains, by weight, 50--97% of cyclopentadiene oligomers, 2-30% of C9-C11 alkenes and 1-15% of cyclic aromatic olefins being a residual product of fractional separation of other hydrocarbon fractions. The modifying agent premixed in the said manner is added to the liquid asphalt in concentrations between 0.1% and 15% by weight under maximum temperature of 185°C whereby the mix should be kept in liquid state for at least 15 minutes. Thus obtained, modified asphalt is combined with mineral aggregates to form asphalt-concrete mixes with high shear rigidity.

Abstract: A memory array having both mask programmable and one-time programmable memory cells connected to the wordlines and the bitlines. All memory cells of the memory array are configured as one-time programmable memory cells. Any number of these one-time programmable memory cells are convertible into mask programmable memory cells through mask programming, such as diffusion mask programming or contact/via mask programming. Manufacturing of such a hybrid memory array is simplified because both types of memory cells are constructed of the same materials, therefore only one common set of manufacturing process steps is required. Inadvertent user programming of the mask programmable memory cells is inhibited by a programming lock circuit.
