Abstract: Automated cold storage unit and systems for storing, monitoring, and maintaining a supply of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical and/or other products in compliance with regulatory requirements are provided. Such units contain an array of independently addressable holding locations for containers with product in one or more controlled temperature zones fitted with temperature sensors. The units include a reader to track product information and status. Product movement within the unit is performed by a computer-controlled robot. A user interface device, preferably in communication with an application service provider to provide remotely managed inventory management and other services, provides users with secure access to the contents of the unit and associated product data and information.

Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing vehicle operation data associated with a temporary or periodic usage of a vehicle by a driver. In aspects, the vehicle operation data may be analyzed to assess a performance of the driver during operation of the vehicle. Based on the performance of the driver, the driver may qualify for a reward.

Abstract: A passive acoustic liner system (50) for attenuating a sound field comprising, in acoustic series, a mode-scattering segment (48) and a sound-absorbing segment (40), wherein the mode scattering segment (48) provides a reactance between ?12 and ?2 ?c and the sound absorbing segment (40) provides a reactance between ?1 and 0 ?c thereby providing a reactance discontinuity such that mode-scattering of the sound field enables the sound-absorbing segment (48) to further absorb the scattered sound.
