Abstract: A system and method for implementing an enhanced transport layer security (ETLS) protocol is provided. The system includes a primary server, an ETLS servlet and an ETLS software module. The primary server operates on a computer network and is configured to communicate over the computer network using a non-proprietary security protocol. The ETLS servlet also operates on the computer network and is securely coupled to the primary server. The ETLS servlet is configured to communicate over the computer network using an ETLS security protocol. The ETLS software module operates on a mobile device, and is configured to communicate over the computer network using either the non-proprietary security protocol or the ETLS security protocol. Operationally, the ETLS software module initially contacts the server over the computer network using the non-proprietary security protocol, and subsequently contacts the server through the ETLS servlet using the ETLS security protocol. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Drive from an engine and associated transmission gearbox is delivered by a propeller shaft to an integrated transfer box and through-drive primary axle unit (4). The primary axle unit (4) transmits drive forwardly and rearwardly through propeller shafts to axle units, which connect through outwardly extending drive shafts with wheel hubs on which wheels of the vehicle are mounted. The propeller shaft from the engine connects to an input flange (15) on a drive input shaft (16) of the primary axle unit (4). A pair of spaced-apart input gears (17, 18) on the drive input shaft (16) cooperate with complementary output gears (19, 20) respectively each of which is carried on an associated forward drive output shaft (21) and rear drive output shaft (22) respectively for drive connection via the propeller shafts to drive axles at a front and rear of the vehicle. The front drive output shaft (21) at its rear end connects through gearing (24) and an axie differential unit (25) with a pair of wheel drive outputs (26, 27) for connection by the drive shafts to the wheels of the axle unit (4). The front drive output shaft (21) and the rear drive output shaft (22) lie in substantially the same horizontal plane and also lie along a common rotational axis (X). Further, the wheel drive outputs (26, 27) also lie in substantially the same plane as the front and rear drive output shafts (21, 22) and the rotational axis (Y) of the wheel drive outputs (26, 27) is substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis (X) of the front and rear drive output shafts (21, 22). The differential unit (25) nests neatly between the front drive output shaft (21) and rear drive output shaft (22) for a compact and low profile assembly.

Abstract: Briefly, the location capable mobile handset allows the user to provide a call recipient with the location of an unsuccessful attempted emergency call. In one specific example, the call may be an E911 call to a PSAP dispatcher, however, it will be appreciated that the call may be to request assistance from a family member, or friend. Additionally, the call may be to a towing service. The call could be any call that a mobile handset user wants to send location information to the party that has been called. Returning to the E911 call example, the location information reported to dispatcher can include the location of initial E911 call, current location during a successful E911 call, or ground track information from the initial location to the current location. When an E911 call is unsuccessfully attempted the mobile handset stores the location of the mobile handset at that time. This information can later be transmitted when the mobile handset is in a coverage area. Additionally, the mobile handset can auto-dial 911 upon entering a service area after an unsuccessful E911 attempt. Alternately the user can be prompted to initiate an E911 call when the mobile handset enters a service area.

Abstract: A method and systems for inputting user instructions to central controller of a service provider. The user instruction is inputted based on transmission of RFID identification data of a RFID transponder to the central controller. The RFID identification data of a RFID transponder is transmitted to a RFID transceiver, having a RFID transceiver identification, over an RFID interface. The RFID identification data and the RFID transceiver identification are then forwarded to the central controller of the service provider over a network connection between the RFID transceiver and the central controller, causing the central controller to select specific user instruction based on the RFID identification data and the RFID transceiver identification. The selected specific user instruction then causes the central controller to apply corresponding adjustment to operations that relate to the one or more electronic devices corresponding to the user of the RFID transponder.

Abstract: A control device for cylinder reducing operation of a multi-cylinder engine for a vehicle controls the number of working cylinders in the engine more appropriately for fuel economy while ensuring the operational stability of the engine and comfortable drivability of the vehicle. The control device comprises a detector detecting engine output torque and judges if cylinder reducing operation is to be executed while referring to the engine output torque. Because of the detection of engine output torque, cylinder reducing operation will be executed as long as torque requested of the engine is available from the reduced number of working cylinders, thereby ensuring the generation of torque required in operating the engine while saving fuel as much as possible. Through a learning process, criteria for the judgment of execution of cylinder reducing operation are modified to be adapted for any variation of engine output performances.

Abstract: A method for generating satellite clock corrections for a WADGPS network computers satellite clock corrections after removing other substantial error components. Errors caused by the ionosphere refraction effects are removed from GPS measurements taken at reference stations using dual-frequency GPS measurements. The multipath noise are removed by smoothing of GPS pseudorange code measurements with carrier-phase measurements. The tropospheric refraction effect can be largely removed by modeling, and if desired, can be improved by the use of small stochastic adjustments included in the computation of the clock correction. After removing the above error factors, satellite clock corrections are computed for individual reference stations, and an average clock correction is formed for each of a plurality of satellites by taking an average or weighted average of the satellite clock corrections over reference stations to which the satellite is visible.
