Abstract: A method and system for preventing an operator of a vehicle from using a handheld wireless communication device without a hands-free communication device associated therewith when the vehicle is in motion.

Abstract: The invention is directed to method and system for providing automatic vehicle registration and control via transceiver-facilitated wireless communication of a unique vehicle identification code and a vehicle location code from a vehicle.

Abstract: The invention provides high molecular weight polymers used in small amounts as viscosity modifiers for aqueous/aqueous biphasic liquids. The viscosity of the biphasic is enhanced at least 20%, preferably at least 30% relative to same compositions without use of polymer. Further, the polymer is included without destroying the ability of dual phase compositions to form after product is left standing.

Abstract: A transmitter has a signal generator, an amplifier, a detection circuit, a comparison circuit, a loop filter, and an adjustable clock. The signal generator produces a signal. The signal is produced with a first frequency characteristic and contains frequency-related information. The detection circuit detects the first frequency-related characteristic and generates an associated signal in response. A comparison circuit compares the signal from the detection circuit and another signal. It outputs a signal associated with the difference between the two. A loop filter receives the output of the comparison circuit and generates a signal to the signal generator in. The loop filter is clocked at a second frequency by a signal from a clock circuit. The clock circuit can compare the first frequency and the second frequency, and can change the second frequency based upon a relationship between the two frequencies.

Abstract: The invention provides rinse-off wet skin compositions comprising structuring systems which in turn comprise (a) non-pre-gelatinized starch; and (b) fatty acid, and which systems provide enhanced properties. The fatty acid also needs to be added to the aqueous phase during preparation of the formulation.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for obtaining dilution thickening behavior. Specifically, polydextrose induced biphasic compositions have been unexpectedly found to induce such behavior.

Abstract: The invention relates to systems to manage parking meters using mechanical, electrical and electromechanicals monitoring and transmitting devices. Such intelligent parking meters may be used for example to monitor pollution by idling vehicles, survey the area about the meters to identify events such as vandalism, accident or any other designated emergency situation, and to monitor volume and flow of traffic to help coordinate traffic light sequencing for facilitating optimum traffic movement. The meters may be coin, bill or card operated and are useful for monitoring individual parking spaces designed to monitor conditions ambient to the parking meter and issue summons to vehicles violating the preset requirements.

Abstract: The invention relates to stable aqueous-aqueous emulsions defined by a dispersed phase having molecule(s) meeting special criteria and continuous phase having surfactant or surfactant system with micelles in rod-like shapes.

Abstract: A method and system for warning an operator of a vehicle of a vehicular task that is being performed beyond a pre-determined time for execution of the task involving incrementally increasing audio and visual warnings as the task continues to be performed past the pre-determined time.

Abstract: A method and system for preventing an operator of a vehicle from using a handheld wireless communication device without a hands-free communication device associated therewith when the vehicle is in motion.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the operational condition of a motor vehicle using a silhouette and pupil defining device combined with a capability to analyze and track any changes of the operator's silhouette and of the size, shape and location of the operator's pupils within a defined zone in the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of specifically defined agents that induce the formation of biphasic liquid cleansing compositions. In particular the biphasic inducing agents include water soluble, high-gel-point polysaccharides having a molecular weight greater than about 10,000 Daltons; fatty ester or fatty ether ethoxylates of intermediate ethoxylation; and mixtures thereof. Optional use of salt and polydextrose allows less total biphasic inducing agents to be used in the composition and more control over the physical properties of the composition.

Abstract: An electronic device including a predictor that has a collision history table (CHT) is presented. An extended load buffer is connected to the predictor. Also included is a marking unit, a comparing unit and a recovery unit connected to the extended load buffer. Unexecuted load instructions are advanced over store instructions. Also presented is a method for fetching an instruction and determining if an instruction is a store or a load. If the instruction is a store, then the method performs a silent store prediction. If the instruction is a load, a predicted silent store instruction is bypassed and the load instruction is executed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus if described herein for accessing a physical memory location referenced by a physical address with a processor. The processor fetches/receives instructions with references to virtual memory addresses and/or references to physical addresses. Translation logic translates the virtual memory addresses to physical addresses and provides the physical addresses to a common interface. Physical addressing logic decodes references to physical addresses and provides the physical addresses to a common interface based on a memory type stored by the physical addressing logic.
