Abstract: A method of determining and shifting to an optimal gear in a vehicle prior to entering a curve in a vehicle which comprises an automatic transmission. A curve speed limit is determined for an anticipated curve which is recognized by a navigation device, an anticipated road pattern and dependent on the vehicle and curve or road data, and a sportiness indicator (Ftyp). For each anticipated curve, an actual, optimal gear is determined, based on the determined curve speed limit and the sportiness indicator (FTyp) and, after determinating the optimal gear, the method performs a check to determine whether or not the optimal gear deviates from the engaged gear (RGA_DEST). When a deviation is recognized and a driver reaction, which causes a deceleration of the vehicle and/or a reduction of the vehicle speed, is present, a down shift down to the actual, optimal gear occurs.

Abstract: An ethylene copolymer, a catalyst system suitable to prepare the ethylene copolymer, and a process to prepare such ethylene copolymer are described. The use of the ethylene copolymer as impact modifier in polyethylene and as compatibilizer in a polymer blend are also described. The ethylene copolymer has a density from 0.855 g/cm3 to 0.910 g/cm3, a polydispersity Mw/Mn lower than 3.5, comprises at least one first ethylene polymer component and at least one second ethylene polymer component having different comonomer contents so as to show at least two predetermined CRYSTAF peak temperatures.

Abstract: A method for managing employee benefits in real-time includes receiving, from an employer, requirements for benefits; transmitting the requirements to one or more benefits providers; receiving bids from the one or more benefits providers to satisfy the requirements for benefits; receiving, from the employer, an authorization to enroll benefits of a selected benefits provider from the one or more benefits providers; and transmitting the authorization to the selected benefits provider.
