The present invention also provides a means for a parent to trigger the automatic transmission of the device's location, via a Web site or call placed to a call center agent or a VRU. The present invention also provides a process of auto-notification of a device's movement that exceeds a pre-specified threshold. The present invention also includes a capability to function as a proximity alert device.

A lubricating base stock useful for forming lubricants such as a multigrade automotive oils, automatic transmission oils, greases and the like is prepared by hydroisomerizing a waxy hydrocarbon feed fraction having an initial boiling point in the 650-750 DEG F. range and an end point of at least 1050 DEG F., synthesized by a slurry Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis process. The hydroisomerization forms a hydroisomerate containing the desired base stock which is recovered, without dewaxing the hydroisomerate. The hydroisomerization is conducted at conditions effective to convert at least 67 wt. % of the 650-750 DEG F.+ waxy feed hydrocarbons to lower boiling hydrocarbons. When combined with a standard lubricant additive package, these base stocks have been formed into multigrade automotive crankcase oils, transmission oils and hydraulic oils meeting the specifications for these oils.

In addition, due to recycle of the waste gas for power generation, the air-powered engine assembly saves energy and reduces costs.

A system and method for creation and automatic deployment of audible personalized, dynamic and interactive services, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems, to a two-way communication device, including electronic mail, two-way pagers, phones, personal digital assistants, and telephones, based on subscriber-specified criteria.

A well service pump system supplies high pressure working fluid to a well. The pump system is a linear design which incorporates a diesel engine, a hydraulic drive gear box, open loop hydraulic Pumps, hydraulic ram cylinders, controls for the hydraulic system hydraulic cylinders, working fluid end cylinders and a coupling to connect the hydraulic cylinders and the working fluid ends. The engine powers the hydraulic system which, in turn, provides hydraulic fluid to operate the hydraulic ram cylinders. Each of the polished rods of the hydraulic ram cylinders is connected axially to a plunger rod end of a working fluid end cylinder. There is no crankshaft or automatic transmission required. The linear design allows for a longer plunger stroke length while still allowing highway transport on a truck or skid.

PCT No. PCT/JP97/03887 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 25, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 25, 1998 PCT Filed Oct. 27, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/19083 PCT Pub. Date May 7, 1998There is disclosed a vehicle control system that controls an automatic transmission by utilizing road information stored in a navigation system unit. In response to the road information stored in a data memory, the upper-limit of a shiftable gear ratio range is determined, thereby allowing change of the gear ratio only within the restricted range. The actual downshift is carried out in response to initiation of a decelerating operation by the driver, such as release of the accelerator pedal, which prevents unnecessary upshift and provides favorable transmission control in conformity with the driver's intention.

An automatic transmission is capable of obtaining appropriate gear ratios for six forward shifts and one reverse shift. The automatic transmission includes a first planetary gear, a second planetary gear, a planetary gear unit including a third planetary gear, and a fourth planetary gear. Also provided are first, second, third and fourth shaft elements, first and second first clutch elements, first, second, and third brake elements, the first clutch element is capable of selectively interconnecting the input shaft and the fourth shaft element. The second clutch element is capable of selectively interconnecting the input shaft and the carrier of the single planetary gear. The first brake element is capable of selectively fixing the first shaft element. The second brake element is capable of selectively fixing the second shaft element. The third brake element is capable of selectively fixing either the sun gear or the carrier of the double pinion planetary gear.

A gear train of an automatic transmission realizes at least ten forward speeds and one reverse speed by combining four simple planetary gear sets with four clutches and two brakes. In addition, three friction elements are operated at each shift-speed. Therefore, the gear train has advantages of simplifying structures of the automatic transmission and improving power delivery performance and fuel economy.

For improving feed-based automatic distribution of content to a mobile terminal via a mobile network, a network component (150) comprises a network-side agent (160). The network-side agent (160) manages the feed-based automatic transmission of content to the mobile terminal and is configured to periodically generate a feed request to a feed server, to receive a requested feed from the feed server in response to the feed request, and to transmit the received feed to the mobile terminal. The network component (150) may also comprise a cache memory (164) for storing copies of feeds and contents and a proxy for processing feed requests and content requests received from the mobile terminal (110).
