| 20090058633 | ANC NOTCH FILTER ADAPTATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HANDLING ROAD NOISE PEAK SHIFTS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE - A notch filter adaptation system for use with an active noise control system of a motor vehicle has a parameters determination module receiving data from a bus of a vehicle and employing the data to determine one or more parameters for a notch filter. The data can include vehicle type, tire diameter, tire cavity, and/or ambient temperature. The parameters can include one or more notch filter peak frequency values, one or more notch filter Q values, and/or modifications of predetermined peak frequency values and/or Q values. An active noise control module can employ the parameters to generate opposite phase noise in the vehicle according to one or more notch filters having frequency bands at least in part specified by the parameters. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20090248268 | DRIVE FORCE TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF DRIVE FORCE TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, AND LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL - When determining that a vehicle is not skidding, the ECU carries out tight corner control if vehicle speed is smaller than the upper limit value of the vehicle speed range corresponding to the starting state of the vehicle and the steering wheel turning angle of a steering wheel is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the steering wheel turning angle at which the tight corner braking phenomenon may occur. When determining that the vehicle is skidding, the ECU inhibits the tight corner control even if the vehicle speed is smaller than the upper limit value and the steering wheel turning angle is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the steering wheel turning angle at which the tight corner braking phenomenon may occur. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20100293053 | PRICE-BASED DELAY OF AN ADVERTISEMENT - A purchase record is accessed within a database of purchases. The purchase record includes a purchase date field and a purchase price field, respectively indicating a purchase date and a purchase price of a first item purchased from a seller by a purchaser. At a determination module located at a machine, a presentation delay interval is determined using the machine, the purchase date, and the purchase price. After expiration of the presentation delay interval, an advertisement is communicated to a device of the purchaser. The advertisement advertises a second item to replace the first item. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20090166327 | METHOD FOR IN-SITU REFURBISHING A CERAMIC SUBSTRATE HOLDER - Method for operating a processing system and refurbishing a ceramic substrate holder within a process chamber of the processing system are described. The method includes plasma processing one or more substrates on the ceramic substrate holder, where the processing causes erosion of a nitride material of the ceramic substrate holder. The method further includes refurbishing the ceramic substrate holder in-situ without a substrate residing on the ceramic substrate holder, where the refurbishing includes exposing the ceramic substrate holder to a plasma-excited nitrogen-containing gas in the process chamber to at least partially reverse the erosion of the nitride material. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20110250966 | USER INTERFACE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF PROCESSING USER INTERFACE, AND PROGRAM FOR PROCESSING USER INTERFACE - Spotlight information that contains at least coordinate information indicating a coordinate at which an object is positioned is generated in accordance with a selection operation for selecting the object. A spotlight screen, including a spotlight illuminating region for receiving an operation input and a darkened region for receiving a request to cancel the selection operation, is displayed in accordance with the generated spotlight information. The received selection operation is determined in a case where a selection of the spotlight illuminating region is received. A predetermined region having its center at a coordinate at which the object is positioned is determined as the spotlight illuminating region. A predetermined region including a coordinate on which an object, for which the selection operation is not received, exists is determined as the darkened region in a case where there is the object within the spotlight illuminating region. | 10-13-2011 |
