  • Publication number: 20210103912
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices that provide a transactional payment system. In particular, the transactional payment system allows users of a messaging system to send and receive electronic payments to and from other users of the messaging system. A messaging application on a client device can receive payment information input (such as a payment amount and payment method) from a sender for making a payment to a recipient. The messaging application can send a payment message including the payment information to a messaging system, and the messaging system coordinates a payment process based on the payment information. During the payment process, the messaging system can provide status updates to the sender and receiver of the payment via status messages that are included in a message thread corresponding to the sender and the recipient.

  • Patent number: 7462311
    Abstract: A process and a molding tool for making a motor vehicle roof part with a preformed plastic outside skin by deep drawing and at least one other layer which is connected to the outside skin by an adhesive. A spacer part with a large volume and low weight is placed between the inside of the outside skin and a glass fiber mat which is used as another layer and is spaced apart from it. A liquid or foam adhesive is applied in the mold tool between the inside of the outside skin or the inside of the glass fiber mat and diffuses into the spacer part. A very light and still very stable motor vehicle roof part with high production precision and surface quality results that has a plastic outside skin which, preferably, has already been colored according to the motor vehicle color.

  • Patent number: 6899380
    Abstract: A sunshade for a motor vehicle roof (2) with a shade screen (5) which can be wound onto a winding rod (6) and which is located underneath the roof, the opposing side edges of the shade screen are movably guided in the direction of shade motion on guide rails (7) and are held in the transverse direction with pre-tensioning of the shade screen (5). To produce pretension in the transverse direction without tensioning elements or bars which are permanently attached to the shade screen and which would hinder rewinding, it is provided that the engagement elements, which are guided on the guide rails (7), can be coupled to the side edges of the length (5) of shade when it is unwound to keep the length (5) of shade pre-tensioned in the transverse direction, so that the sunshade (4) located under an arched vehicle roof (2) can follow the arch of the roof, but can be disengaged for the shade screen (5) as it is wound onto the winding rod so as to enable the shade screen to be wound more compactly.
