  • Patent number: 9905117
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed by one or more computer servers includes receiving a notification from a communication device, determining whether one or more other communication devices are within a stationary geofence, and in response to the notification, sending an emergency alert to the other communication devices determined to be within the stationary geofence. The computer-implemented method may further include receiving an acknowledgement of the emergency alert from at least one of the other communication devices determined to be within the stationary geofence and/or sending data indicating an approximate location of the communication device and an associated tolerance of the approximate location. Other example computer-implemented methods, communication devices including software applications, and systems are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180016904
    Abstract: When cold and in the non-coated state, the aerodynamic profile is substantially identical to a nominal profile determined by the Cartesian coordinates X,Y, Zadim given in Table 1, in which the coordinate Zadim is the quotient D/H where D is the distance of the point under consideration from a first reference plane P0 situated at the base of the nominal profile, and H is the height of said profile measured from the first reference plane to a second reference plane P1. The measurements D and H are taken radially relative to the axis of the turbine, while the X coordinate is measured in the axial direction of the turbine.

  • Publication number: 20170318444
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed by one or more computer servers includes receiving a notification from a first communication device. The notification indicates an armed intruder within a first stationary geofence.

  • Publication number: 20160221402
    Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire includes a carcass extending between two bead cores. A belt structure is provided between the carcass and a tread strip which is connected with a pair of sidewalls. A runflat reinforcement is arranged at the inner side of each sidewall. A reinforcer is arranged within each bead portion of the tire. A bead filler extends from the bead ring along the reinforcer. To improve the runflat performance, handling and comfort properties of such a runflat tire, the reinforcer is arranged at the inner side of the bead filler. The reinforcer includes metal cords. The bead filler which extends beyond an end of the reinforcer, is made of a soft rubber compound with an IHRD harness lower than 80.

  • Patent number: 8026229
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 2-alkoxyestrogen sulfamates of general formula I wherein R1 and R2 independently represent H, methyl, C1-C4 acyl, benzoyl R3 represents C1-C4 alkyl or a group of formula CnFmHo, wherein n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, m>1, and m+o=2n+1, R4 and R5 in each case represent H or, together, a methylene group or an additional double bond, R6 represents H, R7 represents OH, OC1-C4-alkyl, OC1-C11-acyl or OSO2NR1R2, the dashed lines in the B and C rings of the steroid skeleton additionally representing up to two double bonds, for the production of a medical drug for the treatment of tumor diseases which can be affected positively by inhibiting the tubulin polymerization. The inventive compounds are distinguished by the 2-alkoxy substitution in conjunction with the 17-hydroxy substitution. They have a special effect with regard to inhibiting tubulin polymerization and can be used, for example, for the treatment of prostate cancers.
