Abstract: The present invention refers to the field of transactional data management. The invention provides a transactional semantic concurrency control system for managing a database, wherein the system comprises a data store engine which is adapted to manage the database comprising value rows, and each value row comprising a primary key uniquely identifying each row, at least one semantic column and a commit timestamp; wherein the data store engine is further adapted to manage operation rows, which are rows comprising a primary key, at least one operation to be applied over at least one semantic column of a value row identified by the primary key, and a commit timestamp; store the value rows and the operation rows; generate an operation row when it receives an operation that inserts, updates, upserts, and/or deletes a row of the database with the commit timestamp of the operation; and apply the operations of at least one operation row when a trigger condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring an exhaust gas sensor coupled in an engine exhaust is provided. In one example, the method determines an estimate of an exhaust gas oxygen sensor time constant according to a correlation between a rate of change of a Lambda value and a system time constant.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for EGR valve diagnostic. In one example, a method includes providing a correction to a position of the EGR valve to compensate for an altitude of the vehicle. The compensation is based on a comparison of a pressure ratio to a curve rationalized with a barometric pressure.

Abstract: An account is managed using information read from a dual frequency transponder. Information stored on the dual frequency transponder can be read by a NFC-enabled device and by a UHF RFID reader. The information links, corresponds, or otherwise provides access to account information stored at a remote server. For example, a NFC-enabled device can read the information from the dual frequency transponder and use that information to enable instant and on-the-spot recharging of a toll account. In addition, a UHF RFID toll reader can scan information from the dual frequency transponder and use that information to debit toll charges from the correct toll account. The dual frequency transponder can be embedded in a license plate and read using a reader placed in the road. Additionally, the transponder can be configured to function at the correct frequency only when a valid vehicle registration sticker is applied to the license plate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for verifying and tracking identification information. In an embodiment of the invention, a system for delivering security solutions is provided that includes at least one of the following: a radio frequency (RF) identification device, an identification mechanism (e.g., a card, sticker), and an RF reader.

Abstract: A slide assembly includes a channel member including a stop recess having a front end and a rear end; a slide member including a sliding first portion, a sliding second portion, a slot, and a connection portion on the sliding first portion, the slide member being configured to move in the channel member; and a release mechanism disposed on the slide member and including first and second release member. In a locked state the first limit members of the positioning portion of the first release member engage with the front larger hole of the stop recess, the second limit members of the positioning portion of the first release member engage with the rear smaller hole of the stop recess, and the elastic arm of the second release member engages with the rear smaller hole of the stop recess. A double release mechanism is provided.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring an exhaust gas sensor coupled in an engine exhaust is provided. In one example, the method adjusts an estimate of an exhaust gas oxygen sensor delay time based on a fuel injection ramping time. The fuel injection ramping time compensates for fuel that is injected to the engine while the engine enters or exits a fuel cut-off mode.

Abstract: Compositions for nail varnish, which are free or substantially free of nitrocellulose, include, in a cosmetically acceptable organic solvent: a primary film-forming agent consisting of polyvinyl butyral, a fumed silica, at least one secondary resin, at least one plasticiser, at least one colourant, which is insoluble in said solvent. The disclosure also relates to the use of the compositions for protecting and/or making-up the nails, as well as to packaged, ready-to-use items intended for the use.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for use in securing one or more conduits in a vehicle. The system includes a clip that is configured for engagement with a first conduit and a tether that is configured for engagement with a second conduit, wherein the clip and the tether are rotatably engageable to facilitate rotation of the clip about an axis of rotation that extends in generally orthogonal relation to the first conduit (upon connection of the clip to the first conduit).

Abstract: The method and system for access control, comprising detecting, by the electronic lock a tactile action by a body on a tactile sensor. The electronic lock transmitting a first signal using very low frequency band in response to said detection of tactile action through said body. The electronic key fob receives the first electromagnetic signal, where the first signal is transmitted through a body in contact with a transmitter of said first electromagnetic signal i.e. the electronic lock. Further, the electronic key fob transmits a second electromagnetic signal in response to receipt of said first electromagnetic signal. The electronic lock receives the second signal in response to said first signal and disengages or engages a lock in response to said received second signal.

Abstract: The method includes a first step of providing a housing with a hollow protrusion. A second step provides an auxiliary element in the hollow protrusion. A third step provides a connector receptacle in connection with the auxiliary element. A fourth step inserts a matching connector in the connector receptacle in a detachable way, the matching connector further including guiding means. A fifth step places a luminous module including a module connector, the module connector being helped by the guiding means to be connected to the matching connector, to achieve an electric connection between the module connector and the matching connector. A final step moves the connector receptacle so that the matching connector exits from the connector receptacle.
