  • Calendar system
    Patent number: 8126922
    Abstract: A calendar system displays event data via an electronic calendar form that is accessible over a network by a user of a client computer. The system stores event data for multiple events and selectively displays event data based on whether a calendar access request is received from a guest user or an authenticated user. The system displays event data via a default calendar to guest users and displays event data via a customized calendar to authenticated users. The default calendar displays event data for related events based on a contextual relationship that is derived by examining event data for each the multiple events to determine a position separation and/or a frequency of a user supplied keyword in the event data. The customized calendar displays events based on contextual relationships and based on the viewing history of the user and other input data from user.

    Patent number: 8123202
    Abstract: A plunger piston for an air spring. The air spring being active between a component which is to be cushioned by springs, in particular the vehicle frame, and a sprung component, in particular the axle carrier of a motor vehicle. The plunger piston is configured as a hollow piston which is connected to the sprung component at the lower plunger-piston end and to a pneumatic-spring bellows which can be loaded with compressed air at an upper plunger-piston head. The pneumatic-spring bellows is connected on the other side to the component which is cushioned by springs, and rolls on the outside of the plunger-piston skirt during suspension movements. The lower plunger-piston end has an open configuration and has a reinforcing element which encircles the edge region of the opening.

  • Method for calibrating an AOA location system for all frequencies in a frequency hopping signal
    Patent number: 8125388
    Abstract: A method for calibrating an antenna and signal processing system enabling angle of arrival (AOA) determination for a frequency hopping signal, in which a calibration coefficient is determined in response to one or more calibration signals injected into the system at one or more of the frequencies in the hopping sequence and proximate in time to reception of the communication signal. The calibration coefficients are reflective of a frequency and time dependent parameter of a path between the antenna and wireless location sensor. The AOA is determined as a function of the calibration coefficient and the radio frequency energy of the received communication signal. Several embodiments of the method are illustrated.

  • Vehicle transmission
    Patent number: 8123645
    Abstract: A transmission includes a bevel gear configured to provide power to a shaft of a vehicle and that is rotatably engaged with a collar assembly. The transmission also includes a planetary gear set selectively engageable with the collar assembly. The collar assembly includes a first collar and a second collar. The first collar and the second collar are axially coupled together and independently rotatable relative to one another. The collar assembly is slidable between a first position to engage the planetary gear set and rotate the shaft at a first speed, and a second position to disengage the planetary gear set and rotate the shaft at a second speed. Both the first collar and the second collar disengage the planetary gear set in the second position.

  • CONTROL DEVICE FOR THE VOLTAGE- ABSENT SWITCHING OF A SWITCHING ELEMENT OF A VOLTAGE CONVERTER
    Publication number: 20120044719
    Abstract: In a control device (28) for the voltage-absent switching of at least one switching element (18-24) of a voltage converter (10), a detection element (30) detects a resonance voltage between the switching element (18-24) and the transformer unit (14). A control unit (34) generates a control signal for the switching element (18-24) as a function of a value of the detected resonance voltage and outputs the control signal to the switching element (18-24). A ZVS path in the control unit switches the switching element at the right time. A bypass path ensures a continuous switching of the switching element if the resonance signal fails to be emitted.
