Title: Enabling a member of a social network to communicate with his contacts over a telecommunications network.
Inventor: SCHUSTER ROLF
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2008-08-08
Abstract: An apparatus for initiating a communication across a telecommunications network, the communication being between members of a social network, comprising means for retrieving data associated with a first subscriber from a social network server, the first subscriber being a member of the social network, the data including contact information for members of the social network associated with the subscriber, means for storing the contact information on a network server, means for providing the contact information to the subscriber, means for receiving selection of contacts with whom the subscriber wishes to initiate a communication, means for receiving selection of the type of communication (e.g. mobile, fixed line) with which the subscriber wishes to initiate communication with the selected contacts, and means for initiating a commmunication with the selected contacts across a telecommunication network. The present invention provides subscribers to on line social network with the ability to transmit communications to their social network contacts across communication networks outside the social network. Such embodiments benefit from the ease of use of an on line type social network system along with the rich content available from the social network with the benefit of communicating with contacts through a communication channel which the contact may be more likely to receive in real time.

Title: Vehicle including a transmission control unit and a navigation unit connected thereto
Inventor: ECKHARD KIRCHNER
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 2008-08-16
Abstract: The invention concerns a vehicle with a transmission provided with a transmission control unit and a navigation system as well as a method for operating transmission with a transmission control unit in a vehicle provided with a navigation system. In order to improve the driving behaviour and/or to reduce consumption of a such a vehicle, means for transmitting street information from the navigation system to the transmission control unit of the transmission is provided, this information allowing the transmission control unit to anticipate the driving conditions. The invention is based on the consideration that the navigation system in vehicles can not be only used by the driver in order to find easily the address he has chosen to drive to, but that the navigation system can be used to transmit information to the transmission control unit of the transmission enabling it to anticipate the future driving conditions.
Patent GB-2449037-A (GB)
Title: Multilayer distributed processing system
Inventor: DU QINGJIE
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2007-01-17
Abstract: The independencies of a plurality of layers executing dividingly a transaction can be easily enhanced. A node (30) assigns to a transaction to a node (30) of a lower layer through a distributed transaction management section. The node (30) shares a predetermined transaction with the node (30) of the lower layer along with other nodes (30). The node (30) shared by the nodes (30) is a read-only node or a node to which data can be written by the characteristic of a function. Thus the node (30) searches for an unused node (30) in lower layers through the distributed transaction management section (34) when the node starts a new transaction. First, second, and third node hosts (3, 4, 5) check if each node (30) is used for which transaction or if each node (30) is used or not and store the results.

Abstract: 741,615. Braking system for aircraft. DUNLOP RUBBER CO., Ltd. March 16, 1954 [April 14, 1953], No. 10118/53. Class 4. [Also in Groups XXIX and XXXIV] In a fluid-pressure supply system, particularly for operating aircraft wheel brakes 16, 17 fitted with anti-skid deceleration control device 14 wherein the control valve unit 1 is connected to a main source of fluid pressure supply at 10, and to an alternative or emergency source of supply at 11, a pressure sensing valve unit 24 is incorporated in the alternative pressure supply line which acts to connect this line to the control valve unit if the pressure from the main supply falls below a certain value. Referring to the sensing valve unit, as shown in Fig. 3, the alternative pressure supply at connection 29 is prevented from passing to the outlet 30, connected to the main control unit 1, by the fact that the main supply pressure at connection 44 and in chamber 43 produces a greater upward force on piston 40 than that exerted downwards by the alternative supply pressure at connection 47 and in space 46 so that the inlet ball valve is kept shut. If the main supply fails, the force of spring 39 together with the pressure acting above the piston 36 act to move it downwardly and through plunger 33 to open the ball inlet valve to connect the alternative or emergency pressure supply to the main control unit 1. Specifications 625,726, 631,880, 676,708, [all in Group XXXIV], and 687,358, [Group XXIX], are referred to.
