A methodology, system and business model are disclosed for facilitating a fully automated buyer's auction in which the major types of transaction costs are significantly reduced by providing the buyer and the sellers with near-perfect information about one another, including information about buyer preferences and competing sellers' offers. The system implements a buyer's auction with multidimensional bidding that minimizes market intelligence, search, bargaining and transaction execution costs and thus creates more competitive, frictionless markets. Buyers and sellers can efficiently conduct the buyer's auction within a unified environment, thereby minimizing buyer integration costs as well. The buyer's auction generates commercially marketable proprietary information and a revenue stream for the auctioneer providing such a service.

Systems and methods for interoperability are disclosed which allow for a user of one network to communicate seamlessly with a user of another network. Users are provided seamless access to data services in different networks without having to subscribe to those networks. In one embodiment an application bridge comprising an application server may be used to service communications while a billing bridge may be provided to control and charge network subscribers. In one embodiment a user in a SMS domain may communicate with a user in an IP domain. In one embodiment, a platform may register with a federated interface of an IM domain to enable non-IM users to communicate with IM users.

An air heating device for integration into an air-conducting housing arrangement, particularly a housing arrangement of a vehicle air conditioner, includes a burner region, a heat exchanger region with a heat exchanger body, wherein in the heat exchanger body a combustion exhaust gas conducting space is constituted in which flow the hot combustion exhaust gases produced in the combustion in the burner region. At an outer side of the heat exchanger body a heat transfer rib arrangement with numerous heat exchange ribs for the air conducted in the housing arrangement to flow around; wherein at least a portion of the heat transfer ribs are constituted separately from the heat exchanger body and are kept in heat transfer contact with this.

The invention discloses a hierarchical authority management component adaptive to a management information system of a multi-type organization. The component comprises: application program filtering condition configuration, used for defining the conditions which should be met by data which can be checked when a current login user enters an application program, the condition definition being in a parameterization mode, and the data table attribute value being expressed as the condition that the data line can be checked within a certain type of data permission range of the current login user orunder the condition that an intersection exists; and user data permission hierarchical configuration used for allocating users to specified roles and granting corresponding organizations, and the roles being associated with application program conditions and also associated with the users. And the user data authority control is used for controlling the current system login user to check the data range in the specific application program. Through the function module, filtering conditions configured by an application program where a current system login user is located and roles and organizations of user data permission hierarchical configuration can be obtained. According to the hierarchical authority management component, the overall construction cost of the management information system can be reduced, and the development efficiency and the construction quality are improved.

The invention relates to a control system for a digital home, in particular to a middleware system for the data and information management of the digital home. The middleware system for the digital home comprises a physical connection module, a drive adaptation module, a transmission module, a service module, a template module and an application module, wherein the physical connection module is connected with the transmission module through the drive adaptation module; the transmission module is connected with the template module through the service module; and the template module is connected with the application module. By the middleware system for the digital home, information service and device function service are seamlessly combined in the digital home, so that problems about the standardization and fusion of home devices and the information service are solved in a service level.
