Generalizations of the Green-Lanford-Dollard theorem on scattering into cones and Ruelle-Amerin-Georgescu theorem characterizing bound states and scattering states are derived. The first is shown to be an easy consequence of the Kato-Trotter theorem on semi-group convergence whilst the latter is corollary of Wiener's version of the mean ergodic theorem.
