  • Publication number: 20110175318
    Abstract: Means of suspension dampening (4, 7) are attached to at least one pivoted member (2, 5) of each suspension, front and rear respectively, where there is further direct attachment to a relative member of the opposing suspension/s at areas of reduced dynamic influence. Motion of members of either suspension will have some of the resulting action transferred by means of the dampening units onto the opposing suspension to the effect of reducing pitching motion in the body of the two-wheeled vehicle when travelling. When cornering forces act to compress the suspension, this displacement of the suspension members can be so arranged as to alter the geometric settings affecting the opposing means of suspension dampening thereby giving different leverage ratios for both cornering and straight-line travelling to the benefit of road-holding.

  • Publication number: 20080057976
    Abstract: Systems and methods which facilitate wireless communications within a controlled environment in a controlled manner are shown. Embodiments operate to recognize wireless communications terminating within a controlled environment facility and control one or more aspects of the communications. Embodiments also operate to detect wireless devices disposed within a controlled environment facility and determine the location of the wireless devices. Embodiments deploy one or more wireless communication nodes in communication with an information processing platform operating in association with the controlled environment facility, such that wireless devices detected by the wireless communication nodes are located by the call processing platform and wireless communications passing through the wireless communication nodes are subject to call processing by the information processing platform.

  • Publication number: 20070242658
    Abstract: Embodiments connect a call in which at least one party is a VoIP call party and monitoring resulting VoIP signals for unauthorized call activity, such as three-way call activity. The monitoring may include monitoring the call for suspend and/or resume events to detect the unauthorized call activity, the suspend and resume events may be generated by a telephone system and passed into a VoIP system associated with the VoIP call party. The monitoring may be carried out by an agent disposed between a VoIP gateway and the VoIP call party or by the VoIP gateway itself.

  • Publication number: 20070231229
    Abstract: Considerable progress has been made in recent years in reducing toxic exhaust emissions from diesel engines. Diesel oxidation catalysts for example are finding increasing use in reducing carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and the soluble organic fraction of particulate matter in such emissions. Recent innovations in surfactant stabilizing additives now enable ethanol to be blended with diesel fuel in clear, stable solutions. On combustion, ethanol/diesel fuels generate less toxic emissions than the base diesel, but surprisingly when used in conjunction with diesel oxidation catalysts, particulate matter especially is dramatically reduced. The effectiveness of a diesel oxidation catalyst attached to a diesel engine exhaust is unexpectedly enhanced by the presence of ethanol in the diesel fuel.
