• $http Allows promise-based access to HTTP requests (API Reference: ng.$http). You can read more about promises in Promises instead of Callbacks (Please note: this chapter has not yet been released).

• $document Is a jQuery (lite)-wrapped reference to window.document (API Reference: ng.$document)
• $window Is a jQuery (lite)-wrapped reference to window (API Reference: ng.$window)
• $timeout This is a wrapped version of window.setTimeout. In tests, you can use $timeout.flush() to synchronously execute all scheduled timeouts. (API Reference: ng.$timeout)
• $parse Parses Angular expressions (for example, for binding with ng-model or similar) and provides accessor functions (API Reference: ng.$parse)
• $cacheFactory Usually used by other services whenever they need a scoped cache of elementes (API Reference: ng.$cacheFactory)
• $filter Provides programmatic access to a filter function (API Reference: ng.$filter)
