Patent number: 8280373Abstract: An apparatus and a method for a terminal device control server. The terminal device control server collecting, storing and providing information (i.e. device intelligence) relating to a plurality of terminal devices in a mobile communication network. A policy based control mechanism can be used in conjunction with one or more authorization lists and the device intelligence to respond to requests from various elements in the network to allow or deny access to the network or to services within the network to specific terminal devices. The device intelligence can alternatively be used to improve the effectiveness of service offerings in the network by providing information associated with a specific terminal device to other elements that adapt their services offerings and interactions to the capabilities of the specific terminal devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Airwide Solutions Inc.Inventors: Robert Huggett, Nicholas John Lord, Mark Hopper, Jiwei Robert Wang, Martin Dennis Williams

Publication number: 20070215077Abstract: An electromechanical valve actuator having a beginning of stroke damper to damp the impact between the armature stem and the valve stem as the valve is opened. The beginning of stroke damper includes an armature stem defining a stem passage and a valve stem including a lash compensator defining a cavity communicating with the stem passage. An oil pocket may be provided within the cavity to absorb the impact of the armature stem before the armature stem contacts the valve stem as the valve is opened. The lash compensator is configured so that the cavity has a discharge rate sufficient to ensure that the cavity completely drains at approximately the time the engine valve reaches the full open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2007Publication date: September 20, 2007Applicant: VISTEON GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Mark Hopper, Shawn Swales
