  • Patent number: 9256842
    Abstract: A method, system or computer usable program product for computing fuel economy for a vehicle by fuel source location including monitoring a fuel level for the vehicle, responsive to determining a first increase of the fuel level at a first fuel source location, computing a first fuel economy based on the first increase of the fuel level and a first distance travelled by the vehicle since a previous fuel source location, and allocating the first fuel economy to the previous fuel source location in a database.

  • Patent number: 8131600
    Abstract: The invention comprises a financial management program and one or more databases containing information on merchants and their products. The program interacts with the databases containing the product information to return the prices and availability of goods located in a designated area. The program compares prices from various merchants and displays the results to the consumer. The program also allows the consumer to compare the prices with a household budget an financial data, while keeping track of trends in the consumer's spending and buying habits.

  • Publication number: 20090198781
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution to optimize a manner in which core group communications are handled. In the solution, a message to be conveyed from one core group to a different core group can be identified. The message can be encased in a bridge wrapper. This encasing does not alter a format or content of the identified message. The encased message can be conveyed to the different core group. A processing of the encased message by the different core group can be dependent upon the bridge wrapper and can be dependent upon a network topology connecting the core groups. For example, the bridge wrapper can permit bridges to selectively forward posts, subscriptions, and status messages to non-sending core groups in a chain topology implementation. In a mesh topology, use of the bridge wrapper can enable a bridge to resent and/or remove local posts.
