Abstract: A vehicle storage compartment assembly including a housing defining a storage compartment with an upward facing opening, a first closure pivotally mounted to the housing for movement between a pivot closed position and a pivot open position, and a second closure slidably and pivotally mounted to the housing for movement among a slide closed position, a slide open position and a pivot open position. The first closure covers a first portion of the upward facing opening when in the pivot closed position and the second closure covers a second portion of the upward facing opening when in the slide closed position.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates specifying a repository containing authentication information to a plugin in a plugable authentication system. When the system receives a command that requires the repository to be accessed, the system populates a data structure with information including a specifier for the repository. The system passes this data structure into a plugin framework. This enables one or more plugins within the framework to access the specified repository.

Abstract: A method of folding together a vehicle side curtain airbag is provided that includes bending a base section of an extended air bag toward the outboard side of the vehicle and fully over onto a middle section of the air bag located directly above the base section. The adjacent base and middle sections are then rolled, as a group, by first moving a crease line between the base and middle sections toward the outboard side of the vehicle, then curling the crease line back toward the unrolled portion of the base and middle sections and then rolling the remainder of the unrolled portion of the base and middle sections. A top section of the airbag is collapsed in a pleated manner.

Abstract: A method for performing a cryptographic function including calling into an encryption framework to perform the cryptographic function, wherein calling into the encryption framework comprises sending a request to perform the cryptographic function from a kernel consumer, and processing the request and returning the result to the kernel consumer, wherein processing the request comprises determining whether the request is synchronous or asynchronous, and determining which cryptographic provider to use to perform the cryptographic function.

Abstract: A method and system for labeling data in a networked environment. The method and system comprise determining if a label should be added to a portion of data having an associated first header. If so, a second header is constructed containing a label. The second header is indicated in a reference in the first header. The label contains at least one attribute of the data. The second header is attached to the first header. The portion of data is then transmitted, along with the headers. In one embodiment, the second header may contain credential information related to the data portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump whose piston (4), via its upper and lower piston faces, delimits the working space inside the pump cylinder (5) on both sides. The working space (c) is joined via a lever system (19, 22, 25, 28, 31) to two force-guided inlet valves (14, 16) and two force-guided outlet valves (10, 12) that each alternately open and close for filling or discharging the working volume upon reaching both final positions of the piston. An additional working volume, which is reduced by the volume portion of the piston rod, is obtained by the piston being acted upon twice per working stroke as described by the invention thus nearly doubling the efficiency and resulting in a delivery flow with few pulsations. A small residual pulsation remains only from the short period of time during which the valves change from open to closed upon reaching both end positions of the piston inside the cylinder.

Abstract: A data structure extension system for dynamically adding extensions to existing data structures without interfering with underlying code. The data structure extension system includes logic that allows a programmer to “privately” extend fields of existing entries in data structures in the operating system's kernel without interfering with the functionality of the overall data structure for other applications. An extension pointer disposed in the data structure associates each entry of the data structures extended with a respective extension table. The extension table allows for the dynamic addition of non-intefering interfering fields to the data structures. Each extension table entry has corresponding data stored in an external storage unit.

Abstract: An improved vehicle suspension system in which the conventional upper and lower ball joints, each having a spindle, are replaced by a Hime joint which includes a tapered or straight insert that is dimensioned to accommodate the spindle to which it is attached. The resulting suspension system has enhanced vertical and horizontal travel.
