Abstract: A display device (1) includes a screen (3), at least one sensor, and a processing unit (6) configured to manage content displayed on the screen (3) based on information received from the at least one sensor. The device (1) is configured to detect the presence of one or more user in the vicinity of the device (1) and display content, such as advertisements, on the screen based on information received from the sensors. A plurality of display devices may be interconnected to form a composite display system. The device/system may further use sensors to determine information/advertising content relevant to the demographic of the user(s).

Abstract: Methods and systems for routing application traffic to an operable system manager are provided. In particular, an arbiter application is provided to identify a currently active system manager. The arbiter application provides an address for the active system manager to a routing node. Applications send communications to the active system manager by associating such communications with a virtual system manager address. Such communications are delivered to the routing node, which associates the actual address for the currently active system manager with the communication. The communications are then delivered to the active system manager using the actual address.

Abstract: A sensor for a vehicle belt retractor includes a housing, an excitation mass, a locking mechanism which locks the belt retractor, and a lever arm connected to the housing. The lever arm is in contact with the excitation mass and engages the locking mechanism when the excitation mass moves relative to the housing. The sensor further includes a damper that restricts vertical displacement of the excitation mass relative to the housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for determining a seat belt tension is within a proper range. The apparatus is designed to be easily adapted to existing vehicle safety belt systems. Three points of contact with the safety belt allow the apparatus to be used in portable applications including installing child seats. Generally, two of the contact points support the belt while the third contact point is accomplished using a member responsive to the tension of the seat belt. The response of the member is in communication with a device to indicate the amount of tension present in the seat belt. A visual or audible signal is provided to the operator when sufficient tension has been reached and maintained. The apparatus can be mechanical or electro-mechanical in nature.
