Abstract: A computer-implemented method (and associated system and software) of providing simultaneous secure delivery of decrypted electronically stored content to remotely located client computers via an electronic communication network. The method includes acquiring operating variable information about client computers; calculating a release time when decryption is enabled for each client computer to start decrypting a first byte of a set of encrypted electronic content units obtained by such client computer; and transmitting computer-executable instructions to begin decryption at the release time so that each client computer is securely delivered decrypted content simultaneously.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a composition includes isooctane in an amount of about 81 vol % to about 87 vol %. The composition further includes a dialkyl ether compound in an amount of about 10 vol % to about 18 vol %, wherein the dialkyl ether compound is selected from the group consisting of ethyl-tert-butyl-ether, methyl-tert-butyl-ether, and combinations thereof. The composition further includes methanol in an amount of about 1.5 vol % or less. The total oxygen content present in the composition comprises about 3.2 wt % or less of the composition. The figures illustrate comparative testing including compositions of the disclosure.

Abstract: A method of controlling the operating speed of an engine accessory driven by a belt connected to an engine crankshaft. A planetary gear set is interposed between the belt and the accessory, the planetary gear set having a planet gear carrier, at least one planet gear, a sun gear, and a ring gear. The sun gear is connected to an input mechanism of the accessory. The planet gear carrier is connected to the belt, via a pulley. The ring gear is connected to a generator. An excitation current is applied to the generator, which loads and slows the ring gear. This excitation current can be varied to provide a desired operating speed of the accessory.

Abstract: A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, an electric motor/generator and a battery. The drivetrain includes a planetary gear in which the engine is coupled to the sun gear, the motor/generator to the ring gear and the vehicle wheels to the carrier of the planetary. A controller switches the vehicle between electric, assist, charge and regenerative modes of operation and substantially decouples the engine speed from the vehicle speed, enabling the engine to operate at peak efficiency. Additional overdrives are included to enable the engine to operate at optimum speed in the various modes of operation.
