  • Publication number: 20130067227
    Abstract: A system and method for anonymous email, text messaging and social network communication between an initiator and one or more recipients. The system includes conversation tool which presents a menu page in which the initiator's telephone number, email address, social network identifier is submitted along with the recipient's telephone number, email address, or social network identifier, and a text message. The system includes a conversation server coupled to the communication network that receives the information from the menu page and forwards the text message to the desired number, address or identity. The conversation server includes an encryption/decryption engine that combines the initiator's number, address or network identity with the timestamp and then encrypts and embeds it into the text message. The reply containing the encrypted information is decrypted and routed by the conversation server. The communication tool hides the identities of the recipients from the initiator and the other recipients.

  • Patent number: 6352280
    Abstract: A steering wheel is proposed which includes a steering wheel skeleton consisting of a hub, spokes and a steering wheel rim, and an airbag module housed therein, which for actuation of the horn is displaceable against a return force parallel to the steering wheel axis. The steering wheel has at least two upwardly open fork-like support sites (2) having locating holes (3) extending approximately perpendicularly to the steering wheel axis. The fork-like support sites (2) are embodied in the steering wheel skeleton (1). Downwardly angled mounting shackles (7) have elongated holes (8) extending in the direction of the steering wheel axis are embodied on or attached to a generator support (5) of the airbag module (6) in a way corresponding with the support sites (2). The airbag module (6) is joined to the steering wheel skeleton (1) by retaining pins (4) inserted in the locating holes (3) and through the elongated holes (8).

  • Patent number: 6279943
    Abstract: A guide is proposed for a steering wheel comprising a steering wheel skeleton consisting of hub, spokes and steering wheel rim and an airbag module housed therein, which for actuation of the horn is displaceably disposed against a return force by the required contact path parallel to the steering wheel axis, which guide is characterized in that at least three guiding points (2) are provided in a manner distributed in the circumferential direction in a pot-shaped steering wheel skeleton (1) and that a pot-shaped guiding metal sheet (4) which is U-shaped in cross-section and open to the bottom is embodied on or attached to a generator support (3) of the airbag module (5).
