Publication number: 20210272185Abstract: A method for managing the servicing of vehicles in a fleet includes using a mobile device associated with a vehicle to be serviced to contact a fleet call center. The contact is received and a service request is opened in the fleet call center. A local servicer is identified, and information in the service request is sent to a data device of a service technician of the local servicer. Upon completion of servicing of the vehicle, a notification of completion of the service request is sent to a service administrator. The notification is validated to generate a completed service request, and information in the completed service request is sent from the service administrator to an approver of a fleet operations unit. The completed service request is approved at the fleet operations unit, and a purchase order is generated and transmitted from the fleet operations unit to the service administrator.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Jamie Lynn Wofford-Redmond, Johnny Lee McIntosh, Michele Lee Root, Joshua Kenneth Wright, Cary Duane Marr

Publication number: 20210251403Abstract: The disclosed principles provide for an improved bedsheet capable of staying attached to any mattress, and thus not be removable from the mattress during normal use. A sheet as disclosed herein replaces the conventional fitted sheet on which a person sleeps and is attached at the four corners around the bed's mattress. A sheet as disclosed herein features a “pocket” formed at the head of the sheet that is used to secure the sheet, rather than the typical elasticized corners of a conventional fitted sheet that merely grasps the corners and/or bottom at the head of the mattress. By replacing the elasticized parts at the head of the lower bedsheet with the disclosed pocket, the entire head of the mattress, not just the corners, are secured within the pocket of the disclosed sheet. Thus, the disclosed pocketed lower bedsheet will not come loose from the mattress during its normal use.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventor: Michele Lee
