An intelligent electronic subrogation network (“ESN”) automates intra-organization workflow, inter-organization workflow and collaboration for insurance subrogation. This ESN is facilitated by a novel system architecture and process that includes an inter-organizational workflow management system, an inter-organizational transaction processing system, and a unique mechanism for optimizing and enriching web-based user interaction within any such system.

Methods, signals, devices, and systems are provided for using proxy servers to transparently forward messages between clients and origin servers if, and only if, doing so does not violate network policies. In some systems, a transparent proxy uses a combination of standard-format HTTP commands, embedding auxiliary information in URLs and other tools and techniques to redirect an initial client request to one or more policy modules, such as a login server or an identity broker or an access control server. The policy module authenticates the request, and uses HTTP redirection to have the client transmit authorization data to the proxy. The proxy extracts the authorization data, directs the client to use a corresponding cookie, and subsequently provides the implicitly requested proxy services to the client in response to the client's subsequently providing the authorization data in a cookie. This is accomplished without requiring installation of any invention-specific software or hardware on either the client or the origin server, and also works with proxy servers that are known to the client. Unless the client request violates network policy, a person using the client will generally perceive no reduction of services, and will instead benefit from the proxy's caching and / or other performance enhancements.

Methods and systems for packet-by-packet directional mobile wireless transmission utilizing plurality of directional antenna sectors, such that, the transmission of each packet is performed by at least one selected antenna sector. A plurality of directional antenna sectors, at least one receiving controller, and at least one transmitting controller, are all physically located at the same location. The direction of transmission is selected responsive to the direction in which the best electromagnetic signal reception was received. For each plurality of data packets, the transmission direction is selected again. Switching logic is coupling the out going transmission signal to selected ones from the plurality of the antennas responsive to the motion of the mobile user. The antenna design in this invention is aimed at increasing the gain and minimizing the interfering signals with respect large number of mobile users who are concurrently and continuously tracking and communicating with their access points, and consequently, increasing the bit rate of each transmission and the aggregate capacity of the wireless system.

A hybrid super-capacitor / battery system is disclosed (particularly under high pulsed power and low temperature conditions) which allows an existing battery system to ride through transient loading and provide excellent energy density and power density under practical loading conditions.

An impact sensor system for a vehicle that includes a frame member having a cavity and a chamber arranged within the cavity. The chamber includes two ends with different cross-sectional areas. The impact sensor system further includes a sensor coupled to the chamber that generates a signal indicative of a pressure change within the chamber caused by an impact to the frame member.

Exemplary methods, computer systems, and computer program products for processing a previously compressed data stream in a computer environment are provided. In one embodiment, the computer environment is configured for separating a previously compressed data stream into an input data block including a header input block having a previously compressed header. Sequences of bits are included with the input data block. Compression scheme information is derived from the previously compressed header. The input data block is accessed and recompressed following the header input block in the previously compressed data stream one at a time using block-image synchronization information. Access to the block-image synchronization information is initialized by the compression scheme information to generate an output data block. The block-image synchronization information is used to provide decompression information to facilitate decompression of the results of the output data block.

A control system for a refrigeration circuit having one or more working fluid refrigerant sensors capable of measuring the fluid energy value of the refrigerant along a low side of the refrigeration circuit and regulating the flow of refrigerant to the circuit low side through reference to expected refrigerant fluid energy values.

Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for real-time image recompression are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, compressed segments that are identified as having used at least one of a plurality of inefficient compression operations are partially decoded. The compressed segments are recompressed by employing context mapping. Additional system and computer program product embodiments are disclosed and provide related advantages.

An automotive braking system controls the flow of pressurized brake fluid from a tandem master cylinder to several wheel brakes via a pair of braking circuits. Each circuit features a pressure relief line having, in series, a normally-closed valve, low-pressure accumulator, check valve, pump, damping chamber, and throttling orifice. A bypass line including a normally-closed bypass valve that is operated to interconnect the pressure relief lines of the first and second braking circuits proximate to the suction side of the pump, preferably downstream of the wheel brake outlet valves between the low-pressure accumulator and the check valve, selectively feeds fluid from one braking circuit to the other braking circuit to thereby reduce system response time when, for example, one or more wheel brakes driven by the other braking circuit is actuated to enhance vehicle traction or stability.

An optical fiber current transformer includes a broadband light source, a depolarizer, a beam splitter, a temperature acquisition unit, a current acquisition unit, a modulation waveform generating unit, a data processing unit and a calculating compensation unit. The broadband light source is connected with the beam splitter by the depolarizer. A first output of the beam splitter is connected with the calculating compensation unit by the temperature acquisition unit. A second output of the beam splitter is connected with the data processing unit by the current acquisition unit. The data processing unit is connected with the calculating compensation unit. The calculating compensation unit is connected with the current acquisition unit by the modulation waveform generating unit. The optical fiber current transformer uses the temperature-current compensation curve in the calculating compensation unit to synchronously process the temperature and current, thereby improving the accuracy of real-time current measurement.
