摘要:
A mobile commerce system which has been configured in accordance with the present invention can include a multiplicity of mobile server wallets. Each wallet can have an association with a corresponding subscriber in a wireless service provider network. A proxy server can be disposed in the wireless service provider network. Finally, a filter plug-in can be coupled to the proxy server and configured to intercept selected payment messages flowing through the proxy server. The filter plug-in further can be configured to route the payment messages to selected ones of the mobile server wallets.

A method for operating a fuel vapor control system included in a vehicle having an internal combustion engine is provided. The method may include storing positive pressure or negative pressure in an isolated fuel tank, transferring at least a portion of the positive pressure or the negative pressure to an evaporation canister region, and determining degradation of the evaporation canister based on a pressure response of the evaporation canister region while the evaporation canister region is isolated from the fuel tank. In this way, it is possible to utilize pressure that may be passively generated in one portion of the system, even during shut-down engine operation, to verify the integrity of another portion of the system.

A solid food product is molded in a mold cavity and is thereafter packaged in the mold cavity. The mold cavity is formed in a sheet and includes a side wall which extends from the sheet and a bottom wall which includes an inverting portion which extends from said side wall and a central portion. The central potion of the bottom wall includes a plurality of ridges which form a decorative design. A liquid food product is introduced into the mold cavity and allowed to solidify to form a molded solid food product. The central portion of the bottom wall is thereafter pushed into the mold cavity to invert said inverting potion and to push the molded food product away from the central portion of the bottom wall. The molded food product includes ridges which correspond to the ridges in the bottom wall of the mold cavity. A lid is attached to the sheet to enclose and package the molded food product within the mold cavity.
摘要:
A method of operation of an internal combustion engine including an intake valve coupled to a combustion chamber, and a port fuel injector positioned upstream of the intake valve in an intake manifold including a throttle, the port fuel injector fluidly coupled to a fuel rail included in a fuel delivery system housing a fuel at least partially composed of alcohol. The method including, during a start-up operation when the temperature of the engine is below a threshold value and fuel is actively being injected into the intake manifold, adjusting a cone angle of a fuel spray from the port fuel injector, via adjustment of the throttle and/or fuel delivery system, based on the position of the intake valve.
摘要:
A system and method that optimizes use of renewable energy sources using modern satellites and telemetry to reduce the impact of renewable energy limitations. Location data corresponding to the device is retrieved using GPS technology and a GPS receiver which is located proximate to the device. Renewable energy generators are identified and include generation parameters that indicate the efficiency and output of the devices. Environmental energy factors are retrieved based upon the location data. The amount of available renewable energy is calculated based upon the environmental factors and the renewable energy generation parameters corresponding to each of the renewable energy generators. A travel plan that contains the user's travel intentions can be used. The travel plan indicates future location data as well as device idle time. Collected energy can fuel batteries and can also be used to provide hydrogen to a hydrogen fuel cell.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention can include an online commerce system, method and computer program product configured for scalable lazy payment capture. The system can include an online commerce system configured for communicative coupling with a merchant account system and one or more customers over a data communications network. The system further can include scalable lazy payment capture logic coupled to the online commerce system. The scalable lazy payment capture logic can include program code enabled to selectively apply lazy payment capture to partial payments for authorized payment amounts for different customers using multiple different payment methods
摘要:
A magnetic proximity switch comprises an elongated, substantially cylindrical body which houses a switching circuit, said switching circuit closing when a magnetic target passes within a certain range of the switch. This switching circuit preferably comprises two leaf portions hermetically sealed in a glass enclosure within the switch body, a biasing magnet being positioned adjacent one leaf portion for generating a flux that is shared with the one leaf portion, extending the magnetic field toward the end of the switch body and effectively increasing the sensing range of the switch. The switch also is equipped with a plurality of visual indicators, preferably light-emitting diodes, which are illuminated when the switch is closed to provide immediate visual indication as to the position of the switch, regardless of the rotational orientation of the switch.
摘要:
A new and improved Folded Collinear Dipole (FCD) Antenna eliminates a coaxial feed and provides a folded ½ wave top element that is basically two ½ wave elements in parallel above a ⅕th wave coil isolator another ¼ wave element that is on top of another ¼ wave element that is shielded by a brass feed tube and the bottom element is insulated with a PTFE tube. This is all stacked on top of an RF 50-ohm fitting (Typically an “N” female). A cover/protection tube “G” is made from “cross-linked polyethylene” tubing to increase performance of this antenna as it is nearly invisible to the RF signal and does not attenuate the signal which would reduce overall performance found today in most sleeved monopole antennas. The Vinyl cap protectors are used for mainly two functions, on the main larger sleeve it keeps out any atmospheric conditions including intruders such as insects. The feed tube cap insulates and keeps the element centered into the feed tube assembly.
