Abstract: An apparatus and a method for sharing of location information using a social network service are provided. The apparatus includes a communicator configured to communicate with a server for sharing of location information. A storage is configured to map and store at least one first account to a vehicle unique number, and map and store at least one second account of social network service to the first account. A controller is configured to confirm and display, when a login is completed using the first account, a point of interest (POI), and a current location of the vehicle through the server, and to share the current location and information through the social network service corresponding to the second account mapped to the first account.

Abstract: An improved pneumatic tensioner apparatus is disclosed, the apparatus including: a main drive belt; a chuck assembly, suspended from said main drive belt, having a spinning member and a drive contact portion; a first frictional drive belt in a first track in contact with said drive contact portion operative to spin said chuck assembly; a first tension adjusting device operative to apply pressure to said first frictional drive belt tangentially to said drive contact portion; a second frictional drive belt disposed in at least one idler roller on an opposite side of said chuck assembly to said first frictional drive belt, said second frictional drive belt in contact with said drive contact portion; and a second tension adjusting device operative to apply pressure to said second frictional drive belt tangentially to said drive contact portion.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the flow of a fluid through a flexible wall tube including a body having a tubing receptacle that directs a flexible wall tube longitudinally through the body; a compression shoe; and an actuator to drive the compression shoe, such as a piston connected with a connecting pin. the apparatus can be pneumatically driven. The compression shoe has an arcuate contact surface that is curved in a longitudinal direction and substantially linear in a transverse direction. The apparatus can further include a housing, for example a cushion tube, to envelope the flexible wall tubing. A system for controlling one or more flow rates through one or mote tubes can include the valve.
