Abstract: A communications device, such as a mobile telephone, fixed line telephone, computer with network access, or any other similar device which is equipped to communicate using network and/or telephony protocols, is provided, wherein before a call or other communications sessions is set up and made, a determination of the present time at the intended recipient of the call or session is made. In some embodiments, this determination of the time at the intended recipient's location is displayed to a user of the calling device to allow the user to decide whether to proceed with a call to the intended recipient. In other embodiments the determined time is compared with a set of one or more predetermined time bands during which calls to a recipient should not be made. Depending on the results of the comparison, the operation of the communications device is altered, for example, in one embodiment the call is not made, and the user preferably informed.

Abstract: A system for controlling a torque converter clutch in a vehicle powertrain includes a controller having an input for receiving powertrain operating parameter information. The controller is configured to determine a torque converter speed ratio based on the powertrain operating parameter information and to compare the speed ratio to a specified speed ratio limit. The controller is further configured to determine a target torque converter slip when the speed ratio exceeds or meets or exceeds the specified speed ratio limit; to compare the target slip with a desired slip value based on an vehicle noise, vibration or harshness (NVH) limit; and to control torque transmission of the torque converter clutch based on comparison of the target slip and the desired slip value. A method for controlling a torque converter clutch is also provided.

Abstract: An engine inlet air particulate separator that uses zero mass active flow control devices, and methods of using the same, are provided. The separator has a separator body that has an arcuate portion with a bight region. The separator body may have an angle ? between centerlines in the range from about 115° to about 85°. The separator body separates into a bypass conduit and a primary air conduit, separated from each other by a splitter, downstream from the bight region, which is in fluid communication with the arcuate portion. A zero mass active flow device is in fluid communication with a third region of the separator body which is located proximate a point where the air stream would otherwise have separated from an inner wall of the particle separator.
