Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for preventing wireless communication while driving is presented. The system including a text prevention device configured to be installed in a vehicle and detect mobile computing devices within the vehicle. The text prevention device is further configured to establish a connection with detected mobile computing devices and serve as a proxy device to receive signal transmissions transmitted from and received by the mobile computing devices preventing the mobile computing devices within the vehicle from distracting the driver during operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A mobile device automatically determines the identity of a proximate automobile that has been activated, and further determines whether the automobile presently has active insurance coverage as one automobile of a multi-automobile policy. If the automobile has only base coverage, then the user is presented with a selection screen for activing coverage in order to comply with insurance requirements to operate the automobile on public roadways. Similarly, when the owner/user knows they will not be using the automobile for a long or indefinite period of time, then the active insurance can be turned off or transferred to another automobile on the multi-automobile policy.

Abstract: This application describes an antibody that specifically binds to a synthetic oligomer (e.g., an oligonucleotide or oligopeptide) having a organic protecting group covalently bound thereto, which antibody does not bind to that synthetic oligomer when the organic protecting group is not covalently bound thereto. Methods of making and using such antibodies are also disclosed, along with cells for making such antibodies and articles carrying immobilized oligomers that can be used in assay procedures with such antibodies.

Abstract: A vibration damper (28) is disclosed for use in a turbomachine, the turbomachine comprising at least one turbine rotor (19) having a plurality of radially extending blades (16, 17). Each blade has an aerofoil (22), a platform (21) and a stem (20). The vibration damper (28) has a seal-region (29) which comprises a pair of sealing surfaces (24, 25) configured for engagement with respective contact surfaces (24, 25) provided on adjacent blade platforms (21). The vibration damper (28) also has a mass-region (30) which is configured to extend radially inwardly from the seal-region (29) and to terminate at a position located between adjacent blade stems (20) (FIG. 4).

Abstract: A vibration damper assembly for damping non-synchronous vibration between adjacent, spaced apart components comprises a vibration damper located in both of a pair of generally confronting passages in each of the components. The assembly comprises at least two spaced apart articulation surfaces for contact between damper and component, each of the articulation surfaces is arcuate in a first direction and is characterized by having a substantially linear portion in an orthogonal and second direction. Thereby the contact area is greatly enlarged and material loss minimized. The cross-sectional shape of the damper or passage is non-circular and there is a clearance between the damper and passage sufficiently small to prevent rotation of the damper in the passage during use.
