Abstract: A method for providing e-mail communication is provided in which an e-mail user interface is generated on a display device (4000). The e-mail user interface implements e-mail messaging for a root e-mail address that includes a domain name and a username. Upon receiving a request from a user, the method generates a first suffix e-mail address, and creates a first directory on the e-mail user interface for the first suffix e-mail address. The first suffix e-mail address includes the domain name, the username, and a first suffix name.  Upon receiving an e-mail message having a destination address including the domain name and the username, the method stores the e-mail message in the first directory if the destination address includes the first suffix. In accordance with further aspects of this embodiment, a plurality of suffix e-mail addresses can be created, each having a corresponding directory on the e-mail user interface.

Title: Powered liftgate opening mechanism and control system
Inventor: BYTZEK KLAUS K
IPC: E05F15/12
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: A power-operated system (32) for actuating the rear doors or liftgates (18) of motor vehicles (10) is disclosed. The system includes a strut assembly having two struts (30), each strut mounted on one side of the door between the door and the vehicle's door frame. One end of each strut (30) is connected to a powered moving arm (40). To open the door, the arms (40) move to change the angular orientation of the struts (30) such that they have a substantial mechanical advantage. In this position, the force provided by the struts (30) overcomes the weight bias of the door (18), thus opening the door. To close the door, the moving arms (30) change the angular orientation of the struts (30) such that the struts have a decreased mechanical advantage, reducing the force provided by the struts, and therefore allowing the door (18) to fall closed under its own weight bias. A control system for controlling the power-operated system (32) is also disclosed.

Title: A heat shield having a fold-over edge crimp with variable width and method of making same
Inventor: MOFFAT RYAN P
IPC: F02B77/11
Filed: 2003-10-28
Abstract: An improved heat shield provides for reduced noise transmission of vehicular engine components is disclosed. The heat shield has three layers; a first sheet layer, a center insulation layer, and a second sheet layer The insulation layer is positioned between the first and second sheet layers. The first sheet layer is defined by a variable shaped periphery that is folded over the periphery of the second sheet layer to form a hem having a variable length around the heat shield.

Title: Separation of propylene from hydrocarbon mixtures
Inventor: SANTIESTEBAN JOSE G
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 2003-02-28
Abstract: In a process for separating propylene from a mixture comprising propylene and propane, the mixture is passed through a bed of an adsorbent comprising a porous crystalline material having (i) a diffusion time constant for propylene of at least 0.1 sec-1, when measured at a temperature of 373~K and a propylene partial pressure of 8 kPa, and (ii) a diffusion time constant for propane, when measured at a temperature of 373~K and a propane partial pressure of 8 kPa, less than 0.02 of said diffusion time constant for propylene. The bed preferentially adsorbs propylene from the mixture. The adsorbed propylene is then desorbed from the bed either by lowering the pressure or raising the temperature of the bed.
