  • Patent number: 11988520
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to monitoring data in and around a vehicle to predict anomalous, e.g., unsafe, road conditions, and using the data to suggest a corrective action to avoid the unsafe road conditions. A computing device receives information indicative of imagery, sound, or vehicle operation via sensors and/or cameras mounted in or near a vehicle. The information may be received via the vehicle itself or via a device. The computing device then determines whether there is an indication of an anomalous road condition. The computing device also receives vehicle operation data extracted from one or more vehicle sensors. The computing device then determines whether there is an indication of unsafe road conditions, and if there is, the computing device may output a notice or alert via a notification system to alert the driver.

  • Publication number: 20240156444
    Abstract: A collection device can include a cap configured to interface with automation equipment used in a testing facility (e.g., a handheld or fully automated decapping machine, robotic decappers, handheld decappers, liquid handlers, transport robotics, shaking apparatus, etc.) for automated processing (e.g., decapping, rapid accessioning, sample testing, or other processing steps). Following collection of a sample, the sample can be inserted or screwed into a vial, the cap can be coupled to the vial, and the vial can be transported to an automation system or devices to perform automated processing (e.g. decapping, sample testing, or other processing steps). Thus, such collection devices may provide a convenient, efficient, and cost-effective apparatus, system and method for transporting and automated testing of samples.

  • Patent number: 11968595
    Abstract: A method of determining a physical location for an address. The method includes receiving from a first global positioning system on a vehicle a first set of global positioning data indicative of a vehicle location. The method may also receive from a second global positioning system on a portable electronic device a second set of global positioning data indicative of a portable electronic device location. The method may also receive a set of location metadata associated with a picture. The method determines a residence location from the first set of global positioning data, the second set of global positioning data, or the set of location metadata. The method then associates the physical location to the address.
