20090018737 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A MECHANICAL SERVO TRANSMISSION - A method for controlling a vehicle presenting the steps of: verifying, at starting of an internal-combustion engine, whether a memory of calibrations contains the function of transmissibility of a clutch and/or the effective positions of engagement and selection of the gears in a gearchange; sending to the driver, if the memory of calibrations does not contain the function of transmissibility of the clutch and/or the effective positions of engagement and selection of the gears in the gearchange, a signal of start of a first self-calibration step, during which the driver must leave the internal-combustion engine turned on and the vehicle stationary; selecting and engaging a number of times, during the first self-calibration step, all the gears of the gearchange autonomously from the driver for determining the effective positions of engagement and selection of the gears in the gearchange; disengaging and engaging, during the first self-calibration step, the clutch with the gearchange in neutral and autonomously from the driver for determining a point of start of engagement of the clutch; and sending to the driver, at the end of the first self-calibration step, a signal of end of the first self-calibration step. | 01-15-2009 |
20090293657 | DOUBLE-CLUTCH GEARCHANGE - A double-clutch gearchange presenting: two primary shafts; a secondary shaft; a plurality of pairs of gear wheels, each of which couples mechanically the primary shaft, to the secondary shaft, defines a respective gear speed, and has a primary gear wheel mounted on the primary shaft and a secondary gear wheel that is mounted on the secondary shaft and meshes permanently with the primary gear wheel; a plurality of synchronizers, each of which is mounted coaxial to a shaft between two gear wheels of two pairs of gears and is designed to be actuated for engaging alternatively the two gear wheels to the shaft; a plurality of forks, which actuate the synchronizers and are divided into two distinct groups, each of which is associated to a respective primary shaft; two fingers, each of which is associated to a set of forks for actuating all and exclusively the forks of the set of forks themselves; a single control shaft; and a single gear actuator connected to the control shaft. | 12-03-2009 |

20120307010 | OBJECT DIGITIZATION - Digitizing objects in a picture is discussed herein. A user presents the object to a camera, which captures the image comprising color and depth data for the front and back of the object. For both front and back images, the closest point to the camera is determined by analyzing the depth data. From the closest points, edges of the object are found by noting large differences in depth data. The depth data is also used to construct point cloud constructions of the front and back of the object. Various techniques are applied to extrapolate edges, remove seams, extend color intelligently, filter noise, apply skeletal structure to the object, and optimize the digitization further. Eventually, a digital representation is presented to the user and potentially used in different applications (e.g., games, Web, etc.). | 12-06-2012 |

20100175106 | Systems and Methods for Performing Remote Configuration Compliance Assessment of a Networked Computer Device - The disclosed principles describe systems and methods for assessing the policy compliance of a target device, wherein the assessment is performed by a scanning computer in communication with the target device via a communication network. By employing a system or method in accordance with the disclosed principles, distinct advantages are achieved. Specifically, conducting such a remote scan allows for the scanner computer to perform a remote scan of the remote device without installing client software to the remote device. Also, conducting a compliance assessment according to the disclosed principles allows for the target device to be assessed after policy updates and changes, without requiring the target device to be re-scanned. Thus, the disclosed principles reduce the need for internal IT resources to manage the assessment and updates of client configuration settings on the target device. | 07-08-2010 |
20120144332 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING A DASHBOARD IN A MULTI-TENANT DATABASE SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT - A system and method for creating a dashboard in multi-tenant database environment is provided. The method may include, but is not limited to receiving, by a processor, positional data and one of a component type and a data source within a database in the multi-tenant database environment for a dashboard object via a first drag and drop operation, receiving, by the processor, the other of the component type and the data source within the database in the multi-tenant database environment for the dashboard object via a second drag and drop operation, and generating, by the processor, display data for the dashboard based upon the dashboard object in real time based upon the received component type, the received positional data and the received data source. | 06-07-2012 |
20120209948 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION TO A MOBILE HANDHELD DEVICE FROM A DATABASE SYSTEM - A method for providing information to a mobile handheld device from a database system is provided. The method embodiment includes receiving by a node hosting an information management service a request for data. The request is received from a network enabled mobile handheld device that has intermittent network connectivity. The information management service is configured for identifying unrequested anticipated data based on the requested data. In an embodiment, the anticipated data is identified based on a data request pattern associated with the requested data. Once identified, the requested data and the anticipated data is retrieved from a database system. The requested data and at least a portion of the anticipated data is sent to the network enabled mobile handheld device via a network. By providing anticipated data along with requested data, a mobile user has direct access to unrequested anticipated data when network connectivity is interrupted. | 08-16-2012 |

20110302221 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANALYZING A NETWORK FEED IN A MULTI-TENANT DATABASE SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT - The present invention discusses a dashboard application that compiles values across a set of records, each of the records having fields which include data pertaining to user-defined criteria. The user enters a query into the system and the set of records is returns and analyzed according the criteria. The results are numerical and are displayed in components of the dashboard. The component is a graph, bar graph, pie chart, etc. that appears in a user interface of the dashboard. A user can customize the application and define its component. Multiple users can view and subscribe to the dashboard and can select specific components to follow. Some components can have user-defined threshold values and can provide graphics displaying breakpoints of those values. When the system refreshes, or the user manually refreshes the dashboard, an alert is generated if the threshold value is traversed. The alert, including the component graphic, is posted in the subscriber's feed and a feed of the dashboard. | 12-08-2011 |
