  • Patent number: 8215333
    Abstract: A fuel filler adapter for a vehicle including a rigid housing connected to the vehicle and having a fuel pipe opening defined therethrough; and a flexible plastic overmold formed to the rigid housing. The overmold includes a radial wall defining an aperture that is in registry with the fuel pipe opening, a drainage skirt at least partially encircling the aperture for catching overflow fuel, and an overflow channel disposed below the aperture. The overflow channel may be defined by the radial wall and/or the skirt.

  • Patent number: 8090687
    Abstract: A system and program product having at least one subscriber subscribing to topics from one or more data sources. The number of subscriptions for each data source are registered in a table in real time. Upon detecting subscription activity, a matching routine compares the number of subscriptions registered for the available data source with a predetermined value, and if the number of subscribers exceeds the predetermined value a data source process corresponding to the data source will be started, and messages from the data source will be sent to the data source subscriber/s, otherwise, the data source provider will be stopped and not longer send messages.

  • Publication number: 20110197140
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for providing an ordered arrangement of data items pertaining to contacts of a user. The order of the arrangement may be determined based on a comparison of ranks of the contacts. An exemplary method comprises registering communications in at least two communication formats between the user and the contacts. A weight may be assigned to each communication format. The exemplary method also comprises determining a rank of a contact based on the communications registered for the contact. A communication may be incorporated into the determination of the rank with a weight. Further, the weight may be determined based on the weight assigned to the communication format used for the communication.

  • Publication number: 20110196876
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for providing an ordered arrangement of data items pertaining to contacts. The order of the arrangement may be determined based on a comparison of ranks of the contacts. An exemplary method comprises registering communications between the user and the contacts. The communications may include active communications originating from the user and terminating at a contact and passive communications originating from a contact and terminating at the user. The exemplary method also comprises determining a rank of a contact based on a comparison of occurrences of the active and the passive communications between the user and the contact.

  • Patent number: 7461062
    Abstract: A method having at least one subscriber subscribing to topics from one or more data sources. The data sources available and the number of subscriptions for each data source are registered in a table in real time. Upon detecting either subscription activity by the subscribers or availability of data on a data source, a matching routine compares the subscriptions registered for the available data source and enables the sending of messages from the available data source to subscriber/s.

  • Publication number: 20080281832
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for acquiring, normalizing, indexing and storing information related to RSS feeds and their constituent content items in a searchable database. In some embodiments, the invention includes an application that accesses electronic feed documents for a plurality of RSS feeds to ascertain information regarding the feed and content items within the feed. The information is then parsed to identify characteristics of the feeds and their content items. The characteristics of the feeds and content items can then be stored in a common format in a database. This enables, inter alia, creation of custom feeds by utilizing the normalized feed data.
