Appl. No.:

12/275629

Inventors:

Douglas Jon Nielsen - Nepean, CA
Anthony Robert Jones - Kanata, CA
Elaine Ee Lay Quah - Ingleburn, AU
Robert R. Swanson - Allen TX, US

Assignee:

Rockstar Bidco, LP - New York NY

International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

4554351, 4554352, 455445, 4555521, 370352, 3703102, 370338

Abstract:

To authenticate a mobile station that is able to access packet-switched services in a packet-switched services network, an intermediate server receives a registration request from a local premises wireless gateway on behalf of the mobile station. In response to the registration request, the intermediate server performs an authentication procedure with an authentication infrastructure in a circuit-switched network, where the authentication infrastructure contains authentication information relating to the mobile station to enable authentication of the mobile station.

Abstract:

The present inventions provide methods of manufacturing methods for case metallic materials for munitions that have high enthalpic energy release and controlled fragmentation and breakup enabling fragment speeds up to twice what is otherwise possible in explosively driven metal systems, and munitions made by such methods. Embodiments of the invention involve the thixotropic processing of energetic materials such as aluminum together with high density materials such as tantalum or tungsten to achieve material microstructures with a bulk density equivalent to steel, but with the energy release potential of materials such as finely dispersed aluminum powders. Such methods of mixing and blending of high energy and high density materials can provide a microstructure that has large density and shock impedance differences over length scales of 10-100 microns, resulting in enhanced materials fragmentation in the shock or brisant loading regime, incipient melting at the lower melting point constituents, and additional enhancement of fragmentation in the gas-dynamic expansion phase of munitions breakup. Additionally, the present inventions provide a range of surface and near-surface processing methods to enhance spall and ejecta from conventional munitions systems, enhancing munition breakup and reactivity as well.

Abstract:

An entity of a wireless telecommunications network having a pool of Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs) and a Home Location Register (HLR). The entity includes a network interface which sends pages to mobiles associated with a failed MSC of the pool of MSC's and experiencing termination isolation and receives responses to the pages from at least some of the mobiles. The entity includes a processing unit which produces a registration having updated location information for each response received by the network interface, the registration sent from the network interface to the HLR to end each mobile's termination isolation for which a response was received by the network interface. A method of an entity of a wireless telecommunications network having a pool of Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs) and a Home Location Register (HLR).

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

37921501

Abstract:

A system, method, and call processing component for controlling an order of call processing among a plurality of call processing components. Each call processing component, upon receiving a call request when system resources are not available to process the requested call, creates a real queue entry in its call processing queue and sends a call-queued notification to all other call processing components in the system. The other call processing components in the telecommunication system then create a shadow queue entry in their respective call processing queues as a placeholder for the requested call. When system resources become available and the requested call is next in the queue, the call processing component that received the request de-queues and processes the requested call, and sends a call de-queued notification to the other call processing components. In response, each of the other call processing components removes the placeholder queue entry for the requested call from each call processing component's call processing queue.
