Embodiments of the invention provide a hydraulic isolator to split a volute of a pump into two compartments. The hydraulic isolator is positioned within the volute and includes an inlet positioned around a volute inlet channel of the pump, and an outlet positioned adjacent to an outlet channel of the pump. The hydraulic isolator also includes a toroidal portion to at least partially surround an impeller of the pump.

A method of splicing a power cable used to supply electricity to down hole submersible pumps uses a pair of annular armored seal members that are slid over the ends of an insulated electrical conductor being spliced together. Each armored seal member has a plurality of O-ring seals on one end thereof and a plurality of openings in the side thereof and are used to cover and protect a crimped conductor being spliced together. The method and apparatus allow a pair of spliced electrical cables to be used in an adverse environment.

The invention performs long term evolution (LTE) tracking area updates (TAUs), and tracking area code (TAC) and public land mobile network identification (PLMN-ID) assisted optimized wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) cell reselection. An evolved Node-B broadcasts system information including at least one system information block (SIB) based at least in part on an enhanced universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) parameter response message sent by an evolved packet core (EPC) network. A WTRU generates a new TAC, which represents a tracking area identification (TA-ID) of a new cell, based on the system information, and compares the new TAC to an existing TAC, which represents a TA-ID of a previous cell. The WTRU transmits to the EPC network a TAU request message including the TA-ID of the new cell. The EPC network sends either a TAU accept message or a TAU reject message to the WTRU.

A method for performing rate control for VoIP services using messages to enable the RRC to be aware of activity in the SIP/ARM level and to recommend an AMR rate change according to conditions in a wireless communication network. The messages allow VoIP services to dynamically adjust both rate and voice quality based on network conditions. A method for triggering RRC codec rate control using RRM conditions in the network. A method for coordinating AMR autonomous rate control and RRC commanded rate control using a guard mechanism between messages.
摘要:
A method provides an interconnect structure having enhanced structural support when underlying functional metal layers are insulated with a low modulus dielectric. A first metal layer having a plurality of openings overlies the substrate. A first electrically insulating layer overlies the first metal layer. A second metal layer overlies the first electrically insulating layer, the second metal layer having a plurality of openings. An interconnect pad that defines an interconnect pad area overlies the second metal layer. At least a certain amount of the openings in the two metal layers are aligned to improve structural strength of the interconnect structure. The amount of alignment may differ depending upon the application and materials used. A bond wire connection or conductive bump may be used with the interconnect structure.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a bracket for use within a rolling shutter assembly having a rolling shutter coiled around a shutter support. The bracket includes a main body having a pivot member configured to pivotally secure within the shutter assembly, wherein the main body is configured to pivot about the pivot member. A support attachment member is configured to secure to the shutter support, wherein the support attachment member is separate and distinct from the pivot member.
