20080227581 | Axle housing with differential bearing support - An axle assembly for a motor vehicle comprises an axle housing having a central axis and first and second openings formed through the axle housing opposite to each other, a carrier with a differential bearing support supporting a differential thereon for rotation about the central axis, and an abutment member attached to the axle housing adjacent to the first opening to extend substantially in a direction of the central axis. The carrier is fastened to the axle housing adjacent to the second opening therein. The abutment member engages the differential bearing support and absorbs a gear separating force imparted in operation by the differential and transmitted to the differential bearing support. Thus, the abutment member restrains deflection of the differential bearing support relative to the axle housing resulting from the gear separating force. | 09-18-2008 |

20130151628 | Time Based System for Urgent Email Messages - An email client receives an urgent tagged email sent by said sender. An urgent timestamp is obtained based on a stored timestamp of a previous urgent tagged email by said sender. Based on the urgent timestamp, it is determined whether said urgent tagged email is allowed. The allowed determining comprises determining whether the urgent tagged email was received within a defined time interval and determining whether the previous timestamp is an allowed value. If the urgent tagged email is allowed, the urgent tagged email is displayed in the email client with an urgent response; a user evaluates whether the urgent tagged email was worth being tagged as urgent; if the urgent tagged email is not worth being tagged urgent, the stored timestamp is updated to the urgent tagged email date; and if the urgent tagged email is worth being tagged urgent, the stored timestamp is updated to the allowed value. | 06-13-2013 |
