Abstract: A method for determining traffic in a geographic area is shown. The method includes generating parking reservation data corresponding to a plurality of peer-to-peer parking reservations, each of the peer-to-peer parking reservations comprising a reservation by a user of the traffic management system of a parking spot offered by another user of the traffic management system. The method further includes determining a subset of the peer-to-peer parking reservations associated with the geographic area. The method further includes generating an indication of the traffic in the geographic area using the parking reservation data for the subset of the peer-to-peer parking reservations associated with the geographic area.

Abstract: A system for managing the deceleration of an aircraft enabling the control in real time of the position of the aircraft on a braking axis, includes a braking system; a calculator configured to: calculate, from aircraft data and from external data, a sequence of use of the braking system intended to brake the aircraft over a predetermined braking distance which associates a predetermined position on the braking axis with each braking instant; update in real time the sequence of use as a function of the difference between the position of the aircraft and the predetermined position; and a controller configured to control the braking system as a function of the sequence of use.

Abstract: Paraffin isomerization catalyst comprising of from 0.01 to 5 wt. % of a Group VIII noble metal on a carrier containing alumina and zeolite beta having a silica to alumina molar ratio (SAR) of from 5 to 15 and process employing such catalyst for isomerization of a hydrocarbon feed containing paraffins having of from 4 to 8 carbon atoms.

Abstract: An earthquake gas valve that uses a battery powered actuation mechanism to automatically close a gas valve when the movement caused by an earthquake is perceived. A gear motor is activated by a plurality of shake switches which in turn cause a motor driven radial rack to rotate. The rack terminates in a closure plug which obstructs the gas outlet opening and prevents gas from entering the house or office when an earthquake occurs. A timing circuit delays the activation of the closure plug to make sure that the motion has been caused by an earthquake and not by an accidental brief jarring action.

Abstract: A tagged memory organized is into memory chunks. Each memory chunk has a data field, a type field and an owner address field. The type field indicates type of data stored in the data field. The owner address field indicates which objects own which memory chunks. A memory manager has exclusive ability to allocate the memory chunks, deallocate the memory chunks, write to the memory chunks and read the memory chunks.

Abstract: An earthquake gas valve that uses an electro-mechanical battery powered actuation method to automatically close a gas valve when the movement caused by an earthquake is perceived, or if an extremely high temperature is perceived. A gear motor is activated by a plurality of shake switches which in turn cause a motor driven radial rack to rotate. The rack terminates in a closure plug which obstructs the gas outlet opening and prevents gas from entering the house or office when an earthquake occurs. A timing circuit delays the activation of the closure plug to make sure that the motion has been caused by an earthquake and not by an accidental brief jarring action. In one embodiment, the closure mechanism can be activated remotely by receiving a transmitted signal which is picked up by a receiving device within the valve enclosure, or the valve can send a signal to a central remote location telling of its open or closed condition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method to manage a CS IRAT (Circuit Switch Inter RAT) handover of a user equipment (UE) from a 2G/3G network to a LTE (Long Term Evolution) network in which: the UE transmits its CS IRAT handover from 2G/3G to LTE capabilities to the BSC/RNC node; the BSC/RNC node selects a routing paths among said different routing paths based on the UE capabilities for CS IRAT handover from 2G/3G to LTE and transmits to a MSC/VLR node (Mobile services Switching Center) of said 2G/3G network a Handover message comprising an information indicative of the selected path corresponding to the selected CS handover technology; and the MSC/VLR node transfers said Handover message to said target eNodeB through a MME (Mobility Management Entity) node or through an IWF node (Interworking Function) depending on the selected CS handover technology.
