| 20090078121 | Air supply vent filter for air conditioning systems - A filter for placement above a supply vent grill in an air conditioning supply vent includes a peripheral frame that is sized and configured to match the interior dimensions of the air vent. The filter has at least one layer of a woven stainless steel hygienic mesh cloth that is held taut within the frame. The hygienic stainless steel mesh membrane traps dirt, dust, dust mites, germs, bacteria, mold, fungus and other particles and microbes that are carried in the airflow of the air conditioning duct system. Accordingly, the cool air exiting the supply vents and into the indoor living environment is free of these unhealthy and potentially harmful microbes and airborne particles. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20110072792 | PARTICULATE FILTER REGENERATION DURING ENGINE SHUTDOWN - Various systems and method are described for controlling an engine having an exhaust system which includes a particulate filter. One example method comprises, after shutting down the engine and spinning down the engine to rest, operating a vacuum pump to draw fresh air through the exhaust system to an intake system, and regenerating at least a portion of the particulate filter during the engine rest. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110073088 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING FUEL OF A SPARK IGNITED ENGINE WHILE REGENERATING A PARTICULATE FILTER - A system for filtering and oxidizing particulate matter produced by a gasoline direct injection engine is disclosed. In one embodiment, engine cylinder air-fuel is adjusted to allow soot to oxidize at an upstream particulate filter while exhaust gases are efficiently processed in a downstream catalyst. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110083425 | INTEGRATED FUEL CATALYST MONITOR - A method is provided for monitoring an emission device coupled to an engine. In one example approach, the method comprises: following a deceleration fuel shut-off duration, indicating degradation of the emission device based on an amount of rich products required to cause a sensor to become richer than a threshold. The amount of rich products required may be correlated to an amount of oxygen stored in the emission device. The indication of emission device degradation may be further based on air mass and temperature during delivery of the required rich products. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110131957 | Methods and Systems for Emission System Control - Methods and systems are provided for operating a turbocharged engine including a particulate filter positioned upstream of a turbocharger turbine, a catalyst positioned downstream of the turbine, and an EGR passage coupled between an engine exhaust and engine intake.

| 20090089873 | SERVER MESSAGE BLOCK (SMB) SECURITY SIGNATURES SEAMLESS SESSION SWITCH - The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of securely transmitting data between a client and a server. The method includes receiving an initial security message from the client. The security message is to establish security between the server and the client. Further, the client's security parameters are set to enabled and not required. The method further includes forwarding the initial security message to the server and intercepting a security response from the server. The response includes security data and security parameters set to enabled and required. The method includes extracting the security data from the security response, and using the security data to establish a secure socket connection between the proxy server and the server. Furthermore, the method alters the request by changing the security parameters to not enabled and not required, and transmits the altered request and establishes a non-secure socket connection. | 04-02-2009 |
