  • Patent number: 7519470
    Abstract: A location-based caching system provides the ability for a mobile communication device to dynamically provide content related to a user's location. Content may comprise a series of map segments that anticipate the route traveled by a user of the mobile device. Other related content may also be provided, for example, point of interest information related to the route traveled. The system tracks a present location of the mobile device and predicts a future location of the mobile device. Based upon the prediction of future location, the caching module determines whether content related to the future location is presently stored on the mobile device. If appropriate content is not on the mobile device, the caching module retrieves the content from a content server via a network connection. The content information nay be contextually selected based upon, for example, user preferences, movement information, and device state information.

  • Patent number: 5314096
    Abstract: A dual purpose pump for pressure vessels comprises a piston pump disposed within a pump cylinder. The piston pump is arranged in the interior of the pressure vessel and actuatable from the outside by piston strokes for building up an increased pressure in the interior of the vessel. The pump cylinder is mounted on the vessel and projects into the interior thereof. The present invention simplifies mixing, e.g. the preparation of an emulsion, by rotatably mounting the pump cylinder about its longitudinal axis. To accomplish this, a drive mechanism may be mounted on he outside of the vessel for rotating the pump cylinder and the pump cylinder takes mixing elements along with it which project into and thereby mix the liquid during rotation.
