Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a wireless appliance for monitoring a vehicle. The wireless appliance includes a microprocessor configured to select a vehicle-communication protocol of a host vehicle, and then communicate with the host vehicle through the vehicle-communication protocol. The appliance also includes a vehicle-communication circuit, in electrical communication with the microprocessor, which collects diagnostic data from the host vehicle using the vehicle-communication protocol. A GPS module, also in electrical communication with the microprocessor, generates location-based data. For transmitting these data, the appliance includes a first wireless transmitter operating on a terrestrial network and a second wireless transmitter operating on a satellite network. The microprocessor selects the first or second wireless transmitter for transmitting the diagnostic and location-based data.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for the offline securing of messages through selective security data replication. A method for selectively replicating security data for offline processing of electronic messages can include identifying a messaging partner associated with the electronic message responsive to processing an electronic message. Subsequently, it can be determined whether electronic messages previously had been received from or transmitted to the identified messaging partner. If it is determined that electronic messages previously had been received from or transmitted to the identified messaging partner, identifying information for the identified messaging partner can be added to a batch listing. Consequently, during a replication process, security data can be selectively replicated from an external repository to a local repository only for security data associated with messaging partners corresponding to identifying information in the batch listing.

Abstract: A wireless communication unit comprises a transmitter having a forward path comprising a power amplifier, PA, and a feedback path operably coupled to the power amplifier, wherein the feedback path comprises a coupler arranged to feed back a portion of a signal to be transmitted and a controller logic module arranged to control a power control value of the power amplifier, such that the forward path and feedback path form a closed loop power control. The controller logic module is arranged to determine a gain variation in the transmitter and provide attenuation to a transmit signal passing therethrough on a transmit slot by transmit slot basis and instruct a power backoff where necessary.

Abstract: A dispenser mechanism (1) for a foamed product comprises a liquid chamber (9) and air chamber (10), each compressed by a common actuator mechanism (6a, 6b), wherein the liquid and air simultaneously enter a foaming chamber (15). The liquid is forced through a diffuser (18a) defining a plurality of distributed channels (18e), each channel (18e) having a predetermined cross section such that in use the liquid is forced through the channels and enters the foaming chamber as a plurality of jets. The dispenser mechanism (1) provides a particularly advantageous arrangement for producing foam and may be arranged to prevent the foam dripping from an outlet after the end of a dispensing cycle.
