Abstract: A vehicle includes an air-conditioning (AC) compressor, an engine, a belt-integrated starter generator (BISG), and a controller. The controller, responsive to detecting a first AC compressor engagement condition, compares a first AC torque demand that is required to engage the AC compressor with an available torque from the BISG. The controller further, responsive to the available torque being insufficient to engage the AC compressor, engages the AC compressor using the available torque from the BISG and an engine torque from the engine to compensate a torque shortfall between the AC torque demand and the available torque by retarding spark timing and increasing air intake.

Abstract: A method to remove a bushing from a bore includes an alignment tool that fits within an inner cavity of the bushing and a cutter tool aligned by the alignment tool. The method includes forming a groove on an inner surface of the bushing with the cutter tool and guiding the cutter tool with a guide associated with the alignment tool.

Abstract: A computerized method and system for healthcare relationship management is disclosed. The method includes receiving a health information from a healthcare communication source at a healthcare relationship system, categorizing the health information into at least one security category based on one or more privacy rules, receiving a request from a user for the health information at a healthcare relationship management system, the user being associated with at least one security role, and granting or denying access to the health information for the user at the healthcare relationship management system based on an evaluation of the at least one category against the at least one security role.

Abstract: The present invention is a computer-implemented method of retrieving raw data from a database that stores data pertaining to multiple travel transaction records and travel documents. That is, the raw data stored in the database includes the information found on a travel document. A summary of the travel transaction record is based on information in the supporting documents. The computer implemented method includes the step of retrieving the raw data and dynamically creating a summary of a travel transaction record concerning all related documents. Moreover, the computer-implemented method further includes the step of dynamically creating a document image of such supporting documentation using the raw data stored in the database.

Abstract: A document exchange system including a write dispatcher which receives semi-structured documents and access control information from a first party relating to authorized viewers of the document. A capsule creator merges the semi-structured document and the access control information from the write dispatcher into a second semi-structured document to form a capsule. A capsule database then stores the capsules. An indexer creates an index entry for the capsule and an index database stores these index entries. A read dispatcher receives inquiries and identification information from a second party. A query processor then searches the index database and a storage server retrieves all relevant capsules that the second party is authorized to access. A capsule extractor then extracts the posted documents to be forwarded to the second party.

Abstract: What are disclosed are methods for treating tanned leather with a dispersion of an acrylate resin comprising certain acrylate and/or methacrylate esters, an hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate, an unsaturated polymerizable anionic compound such as an unsaturated carboxylic acid, a crosslinking monomer, and, optionally, acrylamide or methacrylamide, as well as the leathers produced by these methods.
