A mobile payment platform and service provides a fast, easy way to make payments by users of mobile devices. The platform also interfaces with nonmobile channels and devices such as e-mail, instant messenger, and Web. In an implementation, funds are accessed from an account holder's mobile device such as a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant to make or receive payments. Financial transactions can be conducted on a person-to-person (P2P) or person-to-merchant (P2M) basis where each party is identified by a unique indicator such as a telephone number or bar code. Transactions can be requested through any number of means including SMS messaging, Web, e-mail, instant messenger, a mobile client application, an instant messaging plug-in application or “widget.” The mobile client application, resident on the mobile device, simplifies access and performing financial transactions in a fast, secure manner.

The present invention is directed to technology for managing the transfer of messages, such as e-mails, over a network. Messages can be transferred over the network through background delivery. A proxy server resides between an e-mail client and an e-mail server to receive outbound electronic messages sent by the e-mail client. The proxy server determines whether the outgoing electronic message should be scheduled for background delivery. If not, the proxy server forwards the electronic message to the e-mail server for traditional delivery. Otherwise, the proxy server prepares content associated with the electronic message for background delivery—creating and packaging one or more assets from the electronic message content. An example of such content is files attached to the electronic message. The e-mail proxy server notifies the intended e-mail recipient that the content is ready to be retrieved. The intended recipient issues a scheduling request calling for delivery of the content. A forward proxy receives and services the scheduling request by arranging for the content to be delivered in accordance with a specified bandwidth schedule.

A visual query system, and associated method and computer program product enhance and accelerate content-based querying, and present a new image similarity measure using known or available software applications and hardware components of video compression systems. The present system encodes images as consecutive frames in a video sequence and uses the ratio between the file length of the compressed sequence and the original file length as a distance measure. The system considers the compression ratio to be an estimate of the entropy of the combined images, which can be used to estimate the amount of new information introduced from one image to the other.

A telescopically moving structure (1) comprising a nut (2) mounted in a rotationally fixed manner in relation to a frame part, a spindle tube (3) with an external thread in engagement with the nut (2), which spindle tube (3) furthermore has an internal thread (4) with the opposite direction to that of the external thread, which internal thread (4) is in engagement with a non-rotational spindle (5) provided with an external thread, the spindle tube (3) being connected in a rotationally fixed manner, but in the axial direction in a slidable manner to a driving shaft (6), wherein the driving shaft (6) has an essentially polygonal cross section with a perimeter forming two opposite longitudinal tracks for engagement with torque-transferring rolling bodies which are journalled in a bushing fastened in the spindle tube (3) to thereby enable transfer of a large torque without the risk of seizure between the driving shaft (6) and the spindle tube (3).

The invention relates to recirculation flow combustors having a generally curved recirculation chamber and unobstructed flow along the periphery of the boundary layer of the vortex flow in this chamber, and methods of operating such combustors. Such combustors further have a border interface area of low turbulence between the vortex flow and the main flow in the combustor, in which chemical reactions take place which are highly advantageous to the combustion process, and which promote a thermal nozzle effect within the combustor. A combustor of this type may be used for burning lean and super-lean fuel and air mixtures for use in gas turbine engines, jet and rocket engines and thermal plants such as boilers, heat exchanges plants, chemical reactors, and the like. The apparatus and methods of the invention may also be operated under conditions that favor fuel reformation rather than combustion, where such a reaction is desired.

A liquid crystal display device is disclosed which includes a diagnosis controller configured to receive abnormity detection signals representing whether components of the liquid crystal display device are functioning normal. The components of the liquid crystal display device may include an LVDS interface, a timing controller, a data driver circuit, a backlight driver, a supply voltage generator. Such a liquid crystal display device handles treatable abnormities without any external help. In accordance therewith, complexity caused by transferring a large number of signals can be simplified.

A steering drive for a motor vehicle comprising a steering wheel, a steering column, on which the steering wheel is disposed, a connecting rod, which interacts with the steering column to deflect the wheels of the motor vehicle, an electric motor, which is provided for boosting the steering thrust, as well as a belt drive, the electric motor interacting with the connecting rod via the belt drive. Said electric motor comprises a stator having twelve stator teeth as well as a rotor having ten rotor poles, the rotor poles being spaced apart from each other by an air gap and embodied as sinus poles.

A heat exchanger (10) including a hot process stream (14) fluidly connected to an industrial process, a cold process stream (16) fluidly connected to an industrial process, and a membrane distillation system (18). The membrane distillation system (18) includes a vapourising stream (12) comprising a mixture of components, a condensing stream (20), and a membrane (30) located between the vapourising stream (12) and the condensing stream (20). The vapourising stream (12) and condensing stream (20) are in fluid communication through the membrane (30). The membrane (30) facilitates transfer of at least one volatised component of the vapourising stream (12) into the condensing stream (20). The membrane distillation system (18) also includes a first heat transfer area (24) between the hot process stream (14) and the vapourising stream (12).
