Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include systems, vehicles, and computer-implemented methods for developing a model from parallel sets of driving data to identify the risk level of an event in one of the sets of driving data. In an illustrative embodiment, a system includes a vehicle data system operably coupled with at least one sensor aboard a vehicle to collect vehicle driving data representing driving conduct. A portable data collection module is configured to cause a portable computing system transportable aboard a vehicle to collect portable driving data representing the driving conduct. An evaluation system is configured to receive the portable driving data and the vehicle driving data, assign a risk level to at least one event included in the vehicle driving data, and correlate the vehicle driving data with the portable driving data to identify a pattern in the portable driving data that is associable with the risk level.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for recording and evaluating driving data for a particular operator and to extend an automobile insurance offer. In an illustrative embodiment, a system includes a driving data monitor configured to receive driving data on driving conduct for at least one operator of a vehicle. A driving data processing system is configured to receive the driving data from the driving data monitor and assign a driving score based on the driving data. The driving data processor determines if the driving score qualifies for a driving insurance offer from an insurance provider. The driving insurance offer is communicated via an interface in response to the score qualifying for the driving insurance offer.

Abstract: According to the National Commission on Terrorism (U.S.), terrorists are becoming more dangerous, crossing borders and making use of available technologies to communicate quickly and securely. Today, terrorists are aimed at attacks that cause as many fatalities as possible and will go into any territory they can.

Abstract: A system transforming standard equipment into rich media communications devices. The Audio Visual Communications System support the simple truth of business, personal and family integration and assists in providing balance between these areas.

Abstract: The AirSafety System supports the Department of Homeland Security, NTSB and FAA initiatives. Efforts to create an environment where accidents become ‘isolated occurrences’ are enhanced; and the opportunity for transportation to move forward is better attained. By way of advanced techniques, The AirSafety System gives governing entities the means to quickly determine each situation and respond accordingly. Communications are improved and the ability to control the aircraft is acquired.

Abstract: The Panic Relief System for Mobile Communication Devices improves the contact tool by evolving the mechanism into a public safety message center and telephone. It allows the user (carrier) to deter perpetrators and call for help with one push of a button. Several options satisfy the user's individual needs thereby making the Panic Relief System personable and user-friendly. Furthermore, with the incorporation of an alarm system amid mobile communication devices, the anticipation is that public safety will increase and crime victimization will decrease.

Abstract: A compactable or expandable elevated utility rack for pickup trucks has been invented wherein a moveable vertical stanchion unit may be positioned along a permanently mounted horizontal rail atop the lateral walls of the cargo bed of a pickup truck by pairs of metal brackets located thereon.
