Abstract: A traffic plane entity (e.g., user plane entity (UPE), serving gateway (S-GW)) and method are described herein for allocating a unique identifier (e.g., UPE/S-GW UE-Context-Id) which identifies and unifies a set of bearers within a UE context that is associated with a given UE. In operation, the traffic plane entity can then send the allocated unique identifier to another entity (e.g., mobility management entity (MME)) which at a subsequent time re-sends the unique identifier back to the traffic plane entity along with a request to have the traffic plane entity perform a specific operation or procedure on the bearers associated with the UE context of the given UE. Upon receiving the request, the traffic plane entity uses the unique identifier to perform the requested operation or procedure simultaneously on all of the bearers associated with the UE context of the given UE.

Abstract: The present inventors conducted dedicated studies, and as a result discovered that propionic acid bacteria fermentation products have a preventive/therapeutic effect on functional gastrointestinal disorders in  in vitro  tests and tests using patients with irritable bowel syndrome, and completed the present invention. Specifically, the present inventors discovered, in  in vitro  tests, that the products have an effect of increasing the intestinal contraction frequency without changing the intestinal contractile force in a distal colon-specific manner. Moreover, effects of improving the defecation condition, general abdominal condition, and health-related QOL in patients with irritable bowel syndrome were also found. Furthermore, propionic acid bacteria fermentation products can be taken in large amounts. Therefore, the propionic acid bacteria fermentation products can be expected to have an effect of preventing/treating functional gastrointestinal disorders safely.

Abstract: Strategically placed hardfacing material near the shank end of a drill bit above the transition edges provides additional protection for compensator areas and the upper leg surfaces of drill bits during updrilling and/or backreaming operations. The strategically located hardfacing is typically passive in the normal drill mode, but active in the updrill drilling mode and/or back reaming. Alternative designs including other strategic material placement, the formation of hardfacing materials in tooth/wear design shapes, bimetallic gage, graded composite hardfacing materials, recesses or cavities at edges of the outer diameter, and various methods of applying the material also may be employed.

Abstract: The method involves sending aperture cyclic ratio values as a set point to a hydraulic pressure regulation solenoid valve of a lockup clutch, where an initial value of the ratio values is determined from parameters e.g. engine torque, issued from cartography. The initial value is a normal initial aperture cyclic ratio value corrected by a corrector coefficient. The coefficient is determined by comparing a slipping value (GR) representing slipping values measured during preceding gear shifting and theoretical reference slipping value corresponding to nominal engine and turbine speeds.
