| 20100169941 | Method and Apparatus for Device-Independent Access to Multimedia Contents, and System Containing the Apparatus - A method for device-independent access to multimedia contents is specified in which a marker information item is provided by a first terminal. The marker information contains at least one marker in a multimedia content. The marker information is stored and a request for access to the multimedia content is provided. A transmission information item is ascertained on the basis of the request for the purpose of transmitting the multimedia content starting from the at least one marker to a second terminal. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20090288921 | REDUCTION OF PARTICULATE EMISSIONS FROM VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEMS - A vehicle braking system reduces particulate emissions resulting from wear of the brake pad and rotor during stopping or slowing of a vehicle. The rotor includes at least one friction surface, that has an outer coating of a corrosion and wear-resistant material. This outer coating can optionally include a first layer comprising a crystalline material and a second layer overlaying and contacting the first layer and comprising an amorphous material. The first layer and the second layer can optionally have an inter-layer period of less than 10 nm such that the structure of the outer coating is that of a superlattice. A brake member that includes a friction material is mounted to a caliper on the vehicle with the friction material disposed opposite the at least one friction surface so that the friction material reversibly engages with the outer coating of the corrosion and wear-resistant material when the braking system is operated to stop or slow the vehicle. Contact between the friction material and the outer coating results in substantially reduced conversion of the friction material to dust while producing an improved coefficient of friction relative to standard braking systems. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20110048871 | BRAKE ROTORS, DISK ASSEMBLIES, AND OTHER COMPONENTS - A vehicle braking system can include a rotating braking element that includes a bulk structural material and a friction surface. The friction surface can include an outer coating that includes a corrosion and wear-resistant material. The rotating brake element can be adapted for installation as part of a braking system on the vehicle. The vehicle braking system can also include a movable brake member that includes a friction material having a friction material composition. The movable brake member can be disposed in the braking system with the friction material disposed opposite at least one friction surface so that the friction material reversibly engages with the outer coating of the corrosion and wear-resistant material when the braking system is operated to stop or slow the vehicle. The outer coating of the corrosion and wear-resistant material can include a decorative color whose color and original appearance are substantially retained after repeated uses in stopping or slowing the vehicle. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20080196985 | Wear resistant coating for brake disks with unique surface appearance and methods for coating - A brake disk including carbon steel, stainless steel or a ceramic composite material and coated with a coating material that is wear and corrosion resistant and when applied properly allows for the coated surface to have a variety of “textured” appearances. For example; the coated surface can be made to look like woven carbon fiber. The aesthetically pleasing, wear and corrosion resistant coating overlays wear surfaces and portions of the brake disk that will be, in many cases, visible when the brake disk is installed on the vehicle. The coating includes a first layer of a metal, such as a pure titanium metal, and a second layer that can include a Nitride, Boride, Carbide or Oxide of the metal used in the first layer. The coating can be applied using a physical vapor deposition source such as a cathodic arc source with a controlled gas atmosphere. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080196986 | COMPOSITE BRAKE DISKS AND METHODS FOR COATING - A brake disk formed of a light weight ceramic and ceramic composite materials, the brake disk having a coating overlying at least a portion of the brake disk. The brake disk includes parallel surfaces wherein at least a portion of the parallel surfaces are coated with a coating material to increase wear and decrease corrosion. The coating over the brake disk includes multiple layers of the coating material, wherein the coating material includes coating material particles configured to construct a pattern of repetition that is consistent with a lattice structure when applied over the parallel surfaces of the brake disk. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090050423 | BRAKE DISK AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A brake disk or drum has at least one working surface which opposes a braking member such as a brake pad or shoe. A plurality of spaced, raised island formations are provided across the working surface, with channels extending between the island formations. Each raised island formation has an outer surface which contacts a brake pad or brake shoe during braking. | 02-26-2009 |
