20090321561NACELLE FOR AIRCRAFT COMPRISING MEANS OF REVERSING THRUST AND AIRCRAFT COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE SUCH NACELLE - Aircraft nacelle comprising a cowling and an engine, the cowling comprising a fixed portion and a mobile portion able to slide in order to define a radial opening with the mobile portion, a thrust reverser system comprising a plurality of flaps intended to be deployed in order to seal at least partially an annular channel surrounding the engine, the mobile portion of the cowling comprising an annular housing extending longitudinally in order to receive the flaps in rest position. Each flap is linked to the fixed portion by a pivot joint and is linked to the mobile portion by a sliding-pivot joint, in such a way that a sliding of the mobile portion in separating from the fixed portion provokes a rotation of each flap around the axis of rotation of the joint with the fixed portion.12-31-2009

20110082759SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF PRICING DATA INCLUDING DEALER COSTS FOR VEHICLES AND OTHER COMMODITIES - The sale of a vehicle may involve many cost and profit components. It is generally impossible for a potential buyer to know all of these components. For example, dealers may be paid by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on their Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and volume bonus. Embodiments disclosed herein may determine and present to a user an accurate estimate of dealer cost, taking into consideration an aggregate of dealer cost components. For each component, a predictive model may be built to determine an expected value at a particular level. An average of the expected value of the component is then calculated for the most recent month. From that, an average bonus payout per vehicle for the most recent month may be determined. A base dealer cost is adjusted to account for these payouts to produce an accurate estimate of actual dealer cost.04-07-2011
20110202338SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECOGNITION OF ALPHANUMERIC PATTERNS INCLUDING LICENSE PLATE NUMBERS - Voice recognition technology is combined with external information sources and/or contextual information to enhance the quality of voice recognition results specifically for the use case of reading out or speaking an alphanumeric identifier. The alphanumeric identifier may be associated with a good, service, person, account, or other entity. For example, the identifier may be a vehicle license plate number.08-18-2011

20110276333Methods and Systems for Synchronizing Media - Systems and methods of synchronizing media are provided. A client device may be used to capture a sample of a media stream being rendered by a media rendering source. The client device sends the sample to a position identification module to determine a time offset indicating a position in the media stream corresponding to the sampling time of the sample, and optionally a timescale ratio indicating a speed at which the media stream is being rendered by the media rendering source based on a reference speed of the media stream. The client device calculates a real-time offset using a present time, a timestamp of the media sample, the time offset, and optionally the timescale ratio. The client device then renders a second media stream at a position corresponding to the real-time offset to be in synchrony to the media stream being rendered by the media rendering source.11-10-2011
