Abstract: A communication system architecture (SA) (100) for a vehicle which may be integrated into the vehicle's multiplexed electronic component communication system (112), and a process for communicating with the vehicle (111) to provide information for and about the vehicle's operational status and coordinating the vehicle's activities. The communication system will include a multi-functional antenna system (115) for the vehicle that will have the capability to receive AM/FM  radio and television signals, and transmit and receive citizens band (CB) radio signals, satellite and microwave and cellular phone communications. The antenna (115) may be installed as original equipment or as a back-fit part in the after-market.  In either case the multi-functional antenna (115) will be integrated with the vehicle's multiplexed electronic component communication system (112). The process for communicating with the vehicle (111) will involve a communication service for which the vehicle's (111) driver will enroll for and service will continue so long as maintenance fees are paid. The service will be capable of providing various levels of information transfer and coordination. The levels may include vehicle information such as (1) the need for servicing and location of the nearest service center with the necessary parts in stock, (2) routing, and (3) load brokering and coordination. The modular design of the system architecture (SA) (100) will allow it to be employed with the vehicle platform (111) that does not possess a full multiplexed electronic component communications system (112). The resulting vehicle (111), using an after-market application package, will be able to participate in some of the services.

Abstract: A method of initiating a data session between a wireless device and an information network over a wireless communication link includes establishing a voice session between the wireless device and a voice recognition application over the wireless communication link. A speech request is conveyed to the voice recognition application for information to be obtained from the information network. The voice recognition application converts the speech request into search criteria. A search of the information network is then initiated using the speech criteria and the voice session is terminated. A data session is then established with the wireless device and the search results are pushed to the wireless device over the wireless communications link.

Abstract: A system for connecting transaction services to an ATM (10, 500) that includes a network (20). A user interface service (12) and a lookup service (22) are in operative connection with the network. Transaction services such as a printer service (16), card reader service (18), and cash dispenser service (14) are also in operative connection with the network. These transaction services are operative to register with the lookup service and to upload a service proxy to the lookup service.  The user interface service is operative to locate transaction services on the network by invoking a remote lookup method on the lookup service. The lookup service is operative to return service proxies that match the type of service that is required. The user interface service is further operative to invoke methods of the service proxies that remotely control the functionality of the transaction services on the network. The user interface service is further operative to register events with the service proxies for notification when certain events on the services occur.

Title: Bouclier thermique pour injecteur de carburant
Inventor: PROCIW LEV A
IPC: F23D11/36
Filed: 2000-06-21
Granted: 2007-05-15
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé empêchant l'instabilité pendant le fonctionnement d'un moteur à turbine à gaz lorsque l'instabilité est due à l'interaction incontrôlée entre l'intervalle rempli d'air défini par un bouclier thermique et un passage de carburant dans un injecteur de carburant. L'invention est un procédé de pré-traitement des injecteurs à carburant de façon à former un précipitant, tel que le coke, à l'intérieur de l'intervalle d'air isolant de façon contrôlée et prévisible préalablement à l'installation de l'injecteur dans le moteur. De cette façon, le précipitant s'oppose à l'écoulement de l'air et du carburant à l'intérieur de l'intervalle ce qui réduit sensiblement l'instabilité du moteur. Le procédé implique le remplissage d'une partie annulaire de l'intervalle d'un fluide choisi tel qu'un combustible hydrocarbure, puis à laisser le liquide durcir jusqu'à former un précipitant tel que le coke qui reste physiquement et chimiquement stable à des températures restant à l'intérieur de la plage des températures de fonctionnement du pointeau de l'injecteur.
