The invention relates to a method for retransmitting a transmission unit (12) via an air interface in a wireless access system employing fragmentation for transmissions, wherein the available transmission capacity on said air interface is variable, and wherein said transmission unit (12) was transmitted a first time together with fragmentation information. In order to enable such a retransmission, it is proposed that the transmission unit (12) is retransmitted after a refragmentation with information FC, FSN on this refragmentation and with at least some of the fragmentation information FC′, FSN′, TSN that was transmitted before with said transmission unit (12) in the first transmission. The invention equally relates to a corresponding wireless access system and to a corresponding transmitting unit for such a wireless access system.

Disclosed are embodiments of a volume control storage bag and methods of making same. The volume control storage bag may have first and second sidewalls, a double-locking closure mechanism with a first closure element extending along the first sidewall and a second closure element extending along the second sidewall, each closure element having a channel and an elongated member configured for interlocking with one another. A gusset is sealed along three sides of the first and second sidewalls, leaving an opening through the closure mechanism and defining an interior space having a specific volume. Corner seals may be formed at the corners of the first and second sidewalls, further reinforcing the double-locking closure mechanism for an airtight and hence waterproof seal. The volume control storage bag may be made of a food-grade polyethylene vinyl acetate blend, approximately 90% or less ethylene vinyl acetate and approximately 10% or less polyethylene.

Methods for making electronic devices on thin sheets bonded to carriers. A surface modification layer and associated heat treatments, may be provided on a sheet, a carrier, or both, to control both room-temperature van der Waals (and/or hydrogen) bonding and high temperature covalent bonding between the thin sheet and carrier during the electronic device processing. The room-temperature bonding is controlled so as to be sufficient to hold the thin sheet and carrier together during vacuum processing, wet processing, and/or ultrasonic cleaning processing, during the electronic device processing. And at the same time, the high temperature covalent bonding is controlled so as to prevent a permanent bond between the thin sheet and carrier during high temperature processing, during the electronic device processing, as well as maintain a sufficient bond to prevent delamination during high temperature processing.

A method of and apparatus for supporting intelligent call routing (ICR) systems multiple vendors, in a vendor neutral fashion using a computer is described. One embodiment has a voice program send a call routing request using an HTTP format to a call routing program. The call routing program decodes the HTTP request and identifies the appropriate vendor-specific communication format and communications method for talking to the ICR system specified in the HTTP request. The call routing program sends the request and receives the answers from the ICR system in the vendor specific formats. The call routing program provides the ICR system response back to the voice program in a vendor neutral fashion. This approach allows voice programs to easily be written that work with multiple ICR systems and allow component reuse of call routing code amongst programs that end up working with multiple systems.

The present invention discloses a novel and improved method for repairing a shrouded blade and a reconditioned shrouded blade. More specifically, a way of measuring a set of previously-operated blades to determine their post-operation geometric characteristics is provided where an offset due to deformation of the hardface surfaces of the shroud is determined. The hardface surfaces of the shroud are rough-machined and blade-compatible material is added to the hardface surfaces. A first side hardface surface of the shroud is then machined to a desired dimension offset relative to an originally manufactured blade after which a second side hardface surface is machined such that the distance between the hardface surfaces satisfies the cross-shroud dimension, which is similar to that of an originally manufactured blade.

A mask support 10 comprises a frame element 20 and an elastic element 30. The elastic element 30 is fixed to the frame element 20. The elastic element 30 is a component integrally formed of a flexible material. It comprises a lever or arm portion 37 having a first engagement protrusion 38 extending in an angle of approximately 90° from the free end of the arm portion 37. A mask assembly 40 comprises a laminar mask 41, e.g. manufactured from a thin metal foil, and connecting elements 42. The connecting elements 42 include an engagement portion 43 for engagement with the engagement protrusion 38 of the elastic element 30. The mask 41 may be attached/stretched to the mask support 10 as well as to detached from the mask support 10 comfortably.

The invention relates to a microdispenser (1) for dispensing a liquid sample in a dispensing device, with a sample container (2) for receiving the liquid sample, and with a nozzle (7) for dispensing the sample located in the sample container (2). The microdispenser (1) with the filled sample container (2) can in this case be stored independently of and fluidically separately from the dispensing device, without the sample escaping from the sample container (2) during storage.

The present invention provides a gift bag formed with a functional ribbon or drawstring member attached adjacent to the open mouth, with the functional ribbon or drawstring member circumscribing the perimeter of the mouth opening and extending through a channel formed at the opening of the gift bag.

The invention is directed to techniques for erasing data storage tape for reuse. In an embodiment, an erase head module for erasing data storage tape comprises a set of erase gaps and one or more servo read elements. The set of erase gaps is configured to coincide with data bands of the data storage tape to allow erasure of only the data bands of the data storage tape while not erasing servo bands of the data storage tape. The one or more servo read elements detect one of the servo bands of the data storage tape when the set of erase gaps are proximate the data bands of the data storage tape to allow the erase head module to accurately track the data bands with the set of erase gaps.
