  • Patent number: 9261378
    Abstract: A navigation assistance system for a vehicle enables possible routes from the starting point to a destination to be ascertained with the aid of route network data, a preferred route being specified, and at least one driving recommendation that guides at least one user along the specified route being output, such that no driving recommendations are output that are superfluous for and therefore irritating and/or disturbing to the operator of the vehicle. The number of times or the frequency with which the vehicle has already previously passed at least one location point or junction point of the preferred route is ascertained, and the at least one driving recommendation for this point of the preferred route is suppressed if the ascertained number of times or frequency reaches at least one threshold value.

  • Patent number: 7699032
    Abstract: With a camshaft for an automotive internal combustion engine in particular, having two concentrically arranged shafts mounted to rotate in opposite directions, namely an inside shaft (3) and an outside shaft (4), at least one single cam (1) fixedly connected to the inside shaft (3) by a pin (5) passing radially through the outside shaft (4) and passing radially through the outside shaft (4), a bearing of the pin (5) in the respective pin receptacles (6), each running radially, in the cam and the inside shaft (3), a lateral projection as the receptacle (6) on the cams (1), a space-saving design of the at least one adjustable single cam should be achieved. To this end, various space-saving pin receptacle designs are proposed. A space-saving measure is also provided with respect to an arrangement of an adjustable cam in close proximity to a cam fixedly connected to the outside shaft by adjustment of the shaft of the neighboring cam to the pin receptacle of the adjustable single cam.

  • Patent number: 7640191
    Abstract: A purchase hub system for an enterprise may enable a purchasing agent to cluster bids from different enterprise buyer systems in the enterprise. The purchase hub system may receive purchasing requests including multiple requirements from the different enterprise buyer systems and suggest potential groupings of the requirements based on, e.g., item categories assigned to the requirements. The purchasing agent may then create a bid opportunity, e.g., a bid invitation or auction, including the clustered bids.
