20150122212 | MONOLITHIC, GALLERYLESS PISTON AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION THEREOF - A galleryless piston for an internal combustion engine and method of construction thereof are provided. The piston has a monolithic piston body extending along a central longitudinal axis. The piston body has an upper wall forming an upper combustion surface with first and second portions, with the first portion extending annularly along an outer periphery of the upper wall and the second portion forming a combustion bowl. The upper wall has an undercrown surface on an underside of the combustion bowl directly opposite the second portion of the upper combustion surface. The undercrown surface has an openly exposed 2-dimensional surface area, as viewed looking along the central longitudinal axis, between about 35-60 percent of an area defined by a maximum outer diameter of the piston body, thereby providing an expansive area against which oil being splashed or sprayed can freely contact to cool the piston. | 05-07-2015 |

20150219042 | PISTON WITH ABRADABLE COATING TO GENERATE APPROPRIATE CONTACT GEOMETRY ON RUNNING SURFACE - A piston including an abradable coating applied to a round surface of the piston is provided. The shape of the round surface is not greater than 0.1 mm from a circular shape, and thus is relatively inexpensive to machine. As the piston reciprocates in an internal combustion engine, the abradable coating rubs against another component, such as a cylinder liner or wrist pin, to achieve suitable contact geometry, such as an oval, asymmetric, or other non-round shape. Thus, a costly machining process is not required to achieve the desired contact geometry. The abradable coating can also be applied to ring lands, skirt sections, or along pin bores of the piston. The abradable coating can also be applied to a wrist pin or an opening of a connecting rod which receives the wrist pin. The abradable coating can be formed from a polymer-based material or an aluminum-silicon alloy-based material. | 08-06-2015 |

20110062747 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISENGAGING A DRIVE ROD IN A DOOR AFTER AN IMPACT TO THE DOOR - The present invention is a method and system for disengaging a drive rod in a door after an impact to the door. The present invention includes an automobile having a door with a door handle, a drive rod, a latching system, a striker, and a drive rod striking member. The drive rod striking member can be positioned adjacent the drive rod. Upon impact to the door, the drive rod is disengaged from the door handle and/or the latching system through inertia, the drive rod striking member impacting the drive rod, or any other means. The drive rod striking member prevents the drive rod from re-engaging with the latching system. The disengagement of the drive rod prevents the drive rod from controlling the latching system to disengage from the striker, either through deformation of the door, or through actuations by the door handle. | 03-17-2011 |
20120192494 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISENGAGING A DRIVE ROD IN A DOOR AFTER AN IMPACT TO THE DOOR - A method and system for disengaging a drive rod in a door after an impact to the door. An automobile having a door with a door handle, a drive rod, a latching system, a striker, and a drive rod striking member. The drive rod striking member can be positioned adjacent the drive rod. Upon impact to the door, the drive rod is disengaged from the door handle and/or the latching system through inertia, through the drive rod striking member impacting the drive rod, or through any other means of disengagement. The drive rod striking member prevents the drive rod from re-engaging with the latching system. The disengagement of the drive rod prevents the drive rod from controlling the latching system to disengage from the striker, either through deformation of the door, or through actuations by the door handle. | 08-02-2012 |

20110115251 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEFORMING A DRIVE ROD IN A DOOR AFTER AN IMPACT TO THE DOOR - The present invention is a method and system for deforming a drive rod in a door after an impact to the door. The present invention can include an automobile having a door with a door handle, a drive rod, a latching system, a striker, and a drive rod deformation member. The drive rod deformation member can be positioned adjacent to the drive rod. Upon impact to the door, the drive rod deformation member impacts and deforms the drive rod. The deformation of the drive rod can correspond to a compression of the door and the door can be opened by actuating the door handle. However, the deformation of the drive rod prevents the drive rod from controlling the latching system to disengage from the striker through compression of the door. | 05-19-2011 |
20110115252 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GUIDING A DRIVE ROD IN A DOOR AFTER AN IMPACT TO THE DOOR - The present invention is a method and system for guiding a drive rod in a door after an impact to the door. The present invention includes an automobile having a door with a door handle, a drive rod, a latching system, a striker, and a drive rod guiding member. The drive rod guiding member can be positioned adjacent to the drive rod. Upon impact to the door, the drive rod can be disengaged from the door handle or the latching system. The drive rod guiding member guides the drive rod away from the door handle or the latching system. By guiding the drive rod away the door handle or the latching system, the drive rod guiding member can prevent the drive rod from re-engaging with the door handle or the latching system. This maintains the door in the closed position instead of the open position. | 05-19-2011 |

20080231282 | On-coil switched mode amplifier for parallel transmission in MRI - Example systems, apparatus, circuits, and so on described herein concern parallel transmission in MRI. One example apparatus includes at least two field effect transistors (FETs) that are connected by a coil that includes an LC (inductance-capacitance) leg. The apparatus includes a controller that inputs a digital signal to the FETs to control the production of an output analog radio frequency (RF) signal. The LC leg is to selectively alter the output analog RF signal and the analog RF signal is used in parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) transmission. | 09-25-2008 |

20120077526 | Dynamic Text Communication Administration - A system for administering text communications may be configured to determine if an incoming communication that includes text meets any of various criteria and respond based on that determination. A reply may include information based on the criteria or information related to how other messages with the same or similar criteria have historically been handled by a user. Reply communications may be in a different form than that of the incoming communication. Other actions may be taken in addition or instead of replying, including setting calendar reminders or tasks, and sending delegate notifications. Data used for determinations may be collected over time or gathered from external systems. | 03-29-2012 |
20150117440 | OPTIMIZING CALL BEARER PATH USING SESSION INITIATION PROTOCOL PROXY - A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a serving device receiving a first message from a gateway device coupled to a communication network, the first message comprising a first session descriptor protocol relating to a port of the network connecting to equipment of a first subscriber of the network to originate a call to a mobile communication device of a second subscriber of the network, whereby the serving device and the gateway device comprise nodes on a signaling path for the call. The serving device sends a second message to the gateway device, the second message comprising a second session descriptor protocol relating to the serving device, for delivery to the network to facilitate a bearer path between the network and the serving device, wherein the gateway device is not a node of the bearer path. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 04-30-2015 |

20080242285 | HOTLINE ROUTING OF PRE-ACTIVATED GSM SUBSCRIBERS USING PSEUDO-MSISDNs - The present invention relates to hotline routing of calls originating from mobile stations. The hotline routing conserves MSISDNs for valid subscribers and provides a relatively generic solution. In one example, a computer system stores in a location register a subscriber profile with an IMSI and a pseudo-MSISDN. A mobile station (which includes a SIM with the IMSI) originates a call. After translation of the pseudo-MSISDN, a serving MSC routes the call to a service activation center. | 10-02-2008 |
20100075647 | Call Handling Scheme to Reduce Roaming Charges - A second switch receives an indication from a roaming network that a call forwarded by the roaming network has been dropped by the roaming network, and in response to receiving the indication, forwards the call from a first switch. | 03-25-2010 |
