20130159078 | Method and System for Administering a Bank Rewards Program - A method and system for administering a rewards program associated with a payment card issued to a customer is provided. The customer's purchase activity with the payment card is monitored and used to award redemption value, or rewards points, to the user in a familiar manner. The customer is permitted to redeem some or all of his or her points to offset specific transactions made using the payment card. The rewards program may also award redemption value for non-purchase activity, such as completing surveys and signing up for additional bank products. In other embodiments, the customer earns redemption value in connection with activity taking place in a first bank account and is permitted to redeem that value in favor of a second bank account. | 06-20-2013 |

20090071274 | METHOD FOR SHIFTING ACTUATION OF AN AUTOMATED TRANSMISSION - A method for shifting an automated transmission situated in a drive train of a motor vehicle between an engine and a drive axle and having at least one multi-speed main transmission and a two-speed range change group rear-mounted thereon. The main transmission has at least one counter-shaft with an transmission brake. A clutch engages the prime mover and the main transmission and the range change group is shifted via unsynchronized dog clutches, which are combined in pairs in a common shift set having two shift positions and one neutral position such that during a range change gearshift, both in the main transmission and in the range change group, a change between two ratio stages occurs. A range change up-shift and down-shift each include active synchronization of the dog clutch by way of the transmission brake and of the separating clutch. | 03-19-2009 |
20090071277 | METHOD FOR SHIFTING ACTUATION OF AN AUTOMATED GROUP TRANSMISSION - A method for shifting an automated transmission situated in a drive train of a motor vehicle between an engine and a drive axle and having at least one multi-speed main transmission and a two-speed range change group rear-mounted thereon. The main transmission has at least one counter shaft with a transmission brake. A clutch engages the prime mover and the main transmission and the range change group is shifted via unsynchronized dog clutches which are combined in pairs in a common shift set and have two shift positions and one neutral position such that, during a range change gear shift both in the main transmission and the range change group a change between two ratio stages occurs. A range change up-shift includes synchronizing the input shaft and the target gear utilizing the transmission brake and passively synchronizing the dog shifted transmission parts by the edge beveling of the concerned dog clutches. | 03-19-2009 |
20100285921 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A DRIVE TRAIN - A method of operating a drivetrain of a motor vehicle. The drivetrain comprises a transmission arranged between a drive assembly and an axle drive, such that an input shaft of the transmission is connected, via a controllable separator clutch, to the drive assembly and an output shaft of the transmission is connected to the axle drive, and such that the transmission comprises at least one shifting element formed as a claw clutch. To reduce the probability that a tooth-on-tooth position may occur in a shifting element formed as a claw clutch, a torque is applied thereto by at least one transmission-internal assembly and/or at least one transmission-external assembly so that a speed difference at the claw clutch approaches a predetermined nominal value, and engagement of the claw clutch is only started when the speed difference of the claw clutch reaches the nominal value. | 11-11-2010 |
20150039182 | METHOD FOR DECOUPLING A POWER TAKE-OFF OF A MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING A MOTOR VEHICLE - A method of decoupling a power take-off drive of a motor vehicle transmission during travel of a motor vehicle in which a form-locking shift element of the power take-off drive is controlled for disengaging the power take-off drive. To implement reliable decoupling without interrupting travel of the motor vehicle, if disengagement of the shift element initially did not occur, control of the shift element is immediately implemented the next time a separating clutch, placed between the motor vehicle transmission and a drive engine of the motor vehicle, is actuated and/or a connection of the shift element toward an output side of the motor vehicle transmission is interrupted, over the course of a subsequent gear shift in the motor vehicle transmission. A drive train of a motor vehicle, a computer program product, and a data carrier having the computer program product. | 02-05-2015 |
