| 20110255516 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MULTIMODE DEVICE HANDOVER - Systems and methods of operating multimode 3G/4G communications devices in an overlapping 3G/4G coverage area (e.g., WiMAX or LTE/CDMA EvDO) include determining if a number associated with temporarily-disabled sectors of an available sector set of the multimode device while the device is operational with a 3G base station is at least equal to a threshold number. If the number is at least equal to the threshold number, a scan for a sector in the 4G network to handover the operation of the multimode device from the 3G base station associated with the 3G coverage to a 4G base station associated with the 4G coverage is initiated. A scan for a fixed period of time for a new available sector in the 3G network to be added in the available sector set may be initiated; and, if a new available sector is added to the sector set, it may be redetermined if the number associated with the temporarily-disabled sectors is at least equal to the threshold number, before initiating the scan for a sector in the 4G network. | 10-20-2011 |

Loans and information associated therewith are assigned to one of the status queues that include a queue for loans eligible for review, a queue for loans reviewed based on the analysis, a queue for loans having a certain risk factor associated therewith, a queue for loans designated for foreclosure, a queue for loans having a certain lien position associated therewith, a queue for loans designated for bid-at-sale, and a queue for loans designated for disposition without any further action by the lender. Multiple liens associated with a subject property can be displayed and analyzed to facilitate assessment of the loan and recommendations for disposition thereof. Insurance payment information for disaster-affected underlying properties is displayed and can be taken into account when assessing the loan and formulating recommendations for disposition thereof. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20090112315 | MEDICAL IMPLANTS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE AGENTS - Medical implants, such as orthopedic implants of the type used in partial or total joint replacement procedures, for example. The implants include a porous substrate, and a bearing portion of a polymeric material, for example, which is at least partially molded within the porous substrate. The bearing portion includes a bearing surface that is exposed to an articulating component of another medical implant, and the porous metal substrate contacts the bone for osseointegration of the bone tissue into the porous substrate to anchor the implant. The porous substrate may include biodegradable carrier materials, in the form of one or more layers, that carry biologically active agents such as antibiotics and bone growth factors, for example. The layers of biodegradable carrier materials may be tailored such that, after implantation of the implants, the biologically active agents are released sequentially and/or over time into the surrounding tissue to reduce the chances of infection and/or to promote osseointegration of the implant, for example. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090192610 | ORTHOPEDIC COMPONENT OF LOW STIFFNESS - An orthopedic component having multiple layers that are selected to provide an overall modulus that is substantially lower than the modulus of known orthopedic components to more closely approximate the modulus of the bone into which the orthopedic component is implanted. In one exemplary embodiment, the orthopedic component is an acetabular shell. For example, the acetabular shell may include an outer layer configured for securement to the natural acetabulum of a patient and an inner layer configured to receive an acetabular liner. The head of a femoral prosthesis articulates against the acetabular liner to replicate the function of a natural hip joint. Alternatively, the inner layer of the acetabular shell may act as an integral acetabular liner against which the head of the femoral prosthesis articulates. | 07-30-2009 |
