| 20100183128 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANAGING MESSAGES - A system, method and device for managing messages. A caller dialing a particular line has a message managing device operatively connected to the line, that records a copy of the message to be recorded on the line, such as on a conventional answering machine. The MMD includes ring detection circuitry to detect an incoming call. The copy of the message recorded on the line can be communicated to the appropriate user by correlating the incoming call data with a contact list or other preferences selected by a user. The user/recipient of the message can also be manually selected by the caller. The MMD can also implement a virtual phone application for creating a plurality of distinct, unique rings for one line, based upon the caller information. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20110084807 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE TO INTERROGATE FOR THE PRESENCE OF OBJECTS - A system, method and device to interrogate for the presence of objects, to prevent the inadvertent separation of the objects from their owner. An owner is alerted when they are separated from the objects by determining when a trigger event occurs, such as a person leaving and/or entering a particular monitored area or location. These monitored areas can be retrofitted with an electronic interrogation device that monitors local conditions to determine whether a user is entering or leaving the monitored area to trigger an interrogation of the personal items. The interrogation device is constructed and arranged to communicate with the objects to determine whether the objects are with the owner. The interrogation device automatically determines the presence of a particular object at the monitored environment and automatically generates a notification when needed. The system further controls functionality of the objects, according to illustrative embodiments, when the object is present. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20100131135 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SIMULATING THE DRIVING PROPERTIES OF A DRIVE CONCEPT TO BE DEVELOPED FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - The invention relates to a method and an associated device for simulating the driving characteristics of a drive concept to be developed for a motor vehicle. The aim of the invention is to provide a method and an associated device for simulating the driving characteristics of a drive concept to be developed for a motor vehicle, using which the longitudinal dynamics and the energy requirements of designed concepts are simulated, compared with one another and validated during an actual driving operation. According to the invention, in order to simulate the driving characteristics of a drive concept to be developed for a motor vehicle during an actual driving operation for a production vehicle, the engine and transmission control are influenced by means of an additional control unit in such a way that the longitudinal dynamics of the production vehicle correspond to that of a designed hybrid drive. To achieve this, the additional control unit for influencing the longitudinal dynamics of the conventional carrier vehicle intervenes in the signal path of the accelerator pedal in the carrier vehicle and can determine the position of the pedal, simulating the position of a ‘virtual accelerator pedal’ by means of a signal generator, thus regulating the acceleration of the vehicle. The control unit accesses the CAN data bus of the drive train of the carrier vehicle to deliver the current speed, the current gear selected and the position of the brake pedal, which represent important input variables for the simulation. | 05-27-2010 |
