Abstract: An arrangement for routing toll calls to a predominant local exchange carrier (LEC) or to a competitive access provider (CAP). An egress switch of an interexchange (toll) carrier translates the called directory number office code to determine whether that code serves a CAP. If so, an exception table is searched to identify the CAP; if the called number is not in the exception table, the call is routed to the predominant LEC. Calls may also be routed to a customer who is served by a CAP and the predominant LEC via either of these local carriers. The billing record identifies an originating and/or a terminating CAP for the call. Optionally or alternatively, the ingress IXC switch may access a data base to determine the CAP or predominant LEC serving a called customer; the ingress IXC switch then routes the call to an IXC egress switch serving the carrier that serves the called customer. Advantageously, this arrangement efficiently serves calls using a CAP to provide part of the connection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An implantable article having on at least a portion of its exterior surface an integral, as-cast macrotextured surface with macropores having undercut edge profiles. A complex macrotextured surface is provided by forming a casting mold so that the mold has complementary macrotextured surface features formed by three-dimensional printing techniques, and casting a molten metal within or in contact with the casting mold to form the implantable article. In a hybrid process, one or more printed surface mold plates are attached by hand, or in a wax molding process, to a simpler wax preform, and an investment is made in which the plates are incorporated into the investment mold. A casting is then made, with each preform yielding one cast article, and the incorporated plate forming the desired surface macrotexture on a region of the cast article. Pore size, porosity and pore shape may be varied across the surface, or varied with depth, to independently enhance different mechanical and physiological factors at the one-prosthesis interface. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The laminate comprises a decorative layer (3), a core layer (4) of resin saturable paper, and an extensible sheet. The extensible sheet is prepared from wood pulp characterized by a basis weight of from about 130g/m<2> to about 505 g/m<2> (about 80 pounds/3,000 ft.<2> to about 310 pounds/3,000 ft.<2>), a tensile modulus of below 24 N/mm<2> (about 3.5 kpsi) and a cross directional stretch of from about 1 % to about 3 %. The pulp is refined wood pulp subsequently subjected to a mechanical treatment at an energy input of at least about 0.0394 kWh/kg (about 2 hp-days/ton) which imparts kinking and curling characteristics to individual pulp fibers. <IMAGE>

The droplets are thereafter brought into contact with a gas phase reagent thereby forming the metal or metal compound quantum dots desired. The solvent may be removed before, during or after the contacting of the droplets with the gas phase reagent. The metal or metal compound quantum dots so formed are deposited on a substrate. The quantum dots may be contained within a polymer as a film. By control of the concentration of the solution and the size of the droplets the size of the quantum dots may be closely controlled.

The highest value of a correlation vector is compared either to the second highest value or to the mean value of the other values. If a specific spreading code is used in the reception of the signal, the comparison forms a ratio of the signal and disturbance, the ratio being applicable particularly to combining signals from the diversity branches of a diversity receiver, whereby the method makes it possible to combine the signals even prior to detection. If the reception employs a spreading code with which no signal received by the receiver has been transmitted, it is possible by comparing the correlation values to form a noise quality estimate, an estimate value higher of which meaning that the receiver is receiving a signal and not just noise.
