Abstract: The present invention combines the geographical coverage possible with fixed, pre-defined route segment costs (e.g. the legal speed limit) with, wherever possible, richer time dependent costs. A user of, for example, a portable navigation device, can therefore continue route planning as before to virtually any destination in a country covered by the stored map database, but wherever possible, can also use traffic data with time-dependent costs, so that the effect of congestion with any time predictability can be accurately taken into account as an automatic, background process. It leaves the user to simply carry on driving, following the guidance offered by the navigation device, without needing to be concerned about congestion that exists now, and whether it will impact his journey.

Abstract: A method of determining a set of prescribed actions includes receiving a configuration script identifying a set of influencers, a set of performance indicators, a model type, a target time, and a prescription method. The method further includes deriving a model of the model type based on data associated with the set of influencers or with the set of performance indicators. The method also includes projecting a set of future influencer values associated with the set of influencers and projecting a set of future indicator values of the set of performance indicators at the target time using the model. The method can further include prescribing using the prescription method and based on projecting using the model a set of prescribed actions associated with the subset of actionable influencers. The method also includes displaying the set of prescribed actions.

Abstract: A subscriber database, in at least one embodiment, stores RF level and timing advance information associated with all mobile telephones on a network. A location parameters database stores location data that associates different physical locations with RF levels/timing advance data that have been measured or inferred for those locations. The subscriber database is then interpreted for the purpose of establishing the location of a specific mobile telephone at a given time by matching the RF level/timing advance data for that specific mobile telephone against the location parameters database. This generates the location of the mobile telephone. The interpretation or querying of the subscriber database only occurs, however, when there is a request to establish the location of a specific mobile telephone, and not as an automated process applied to all mobile telephones on a network.

Abstract: A flameproof, heat resistant, lightweight, one-piece escape suit which includes attached integral mitts or gloves, covered footing, and a hood. The fire and heat resistant one piece suit is designed to be worn over a commercial smoke hood, is formed from a metalized fabric, and meets the requirements of ASTM standard D6413. The suit is designed to be easily slipped onto a wearer's body over typical street clothing, and allows a wearer to wear his or her accustomed footwear for improved safety and comfort. The durable fabric provides protection to a wearer when crawling low to the ground on his or her knees and elbows as is often recommended as a preferred escape posture. The fire and heat resistant one piece suit may be provided in multiple sizes to fit adults and children.

Abstract: A gas turbine system includes a fuel reformer comprising: a fuel inlet; an oxygen inlet; a pre-mixing zone configured to mix the fuel and the oxygen in a pre-mixing device to form a gaseous pre-mix; wherein the pre-mixing device comprises a flow conditioning device configured to pre-condition the fuel stream, wherein the flow conditioning device is disposed upstream of the oxygen inlet; a diffuser disposed downstream of the flow conditioning device; a catalytic partial oxidation zone disposed downstream of the diffuser, wherein the catalytic partial oxidation zone comprises a catalyst composition configured to react the fuel and the oxygen to generate a syngas. The generated syngas is then mixed with rest of the fuel to form a hydrogen-enriched fuel mixture, which is then sent to the combustion chamber of a gas turbine to reduce the NOx emission and extend the lean blow out limit.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a sheet material using fibreglass, such as glass fibres 802,803, fibre glass matting 801 and/or fibreglass webbing/tape 601, and polymer, such as polypropylene. The fibreglass is coated in liquid polymer and formed into sheet material 800, preferably by compression rollers 808,810. The material product is formed, by bending/folding, into desired shapes, such as box sections to form pallet/support platform sections. The formed sections can be fastened together, such as by elongate members passing through a series of aligned apertures between adjacent sections. The elongate members can be heat staked to the sections. Inserts can be used in the ends of the sections to provide additional rigidity and strength. Thus, a composite pallet/support platform can be manufactured in production line form.

Abstract: Modern portable electronic devices are commercially available with ever increasing memory capable of storing tens of thousands of song, hundreds of thousands of images, and hundreds of hours of video. The traditional means of selecting and accessing an item within such devices is with a limited number of keys and requires the user to progressively work through a series of lists, some of which may be very large. Provided is a method for speech recognition that allows users to efficiently select their preferred tune, video, or other information using speech rather than cumbersome scrolling through large lists of available material. Users are able to enter search and command terms verbally to these electronic devices and users who cannot remember the correct name of the audio-visual content are supported by searches based on lyrics, tempo, riff, chorus, and so forth. Further, pseudonyms may be associated with audio-visual content by the user to ease recollection.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for particulate filter regeneration. The apparatus includes a bypass exhaust channel configured to conduct exhaust gasses away from a main exhaust channel and reintroduce the exhaust gasses into the main exhaust channel upstream from a particulate filter, a burner, and a regeneration module configured to monitor exhaust gas variables and divert a portion of the exhaust gasses through the bypass exhaust channel in response to the exhaust gas variables. The system includes a vehicle having an internal combustion engine coupled to a transmission, and the apparatus. The method includes conducting exhaust gasses away from a main exhaust channel and reintroducing the exhaust gasses into the main exhaust channel, raising the temperature of the exhaust gasses, and monitoring exhaust gas variables and selectively diverting a portion of the exhaust gasses through a bypass exhaust channel in response to the exhaust gas variables.
