Abstract: A system and method for identifying a potential parking violation for a location includes storing and rating parking violation related data, and notifying a user, by a computing system communicating with a user's computing device, of the potential parking violation and how to avoid receiving the potential parking violation citation. The data is stored in a database and clustered by data types. The user's computing device is used to identify user type, location, and time. A user engagement panel is used to share and rate parking violation related data and notifications, and rewards are allocated to a user for contributing useful data. Highly rated data may be incorporated into the notifications. The data is analyzed to predict or infer a violation. A notification corresponding to a current location and user type are generated when violations are predicted.

Abstract: A component supply management system includes a threshold setting portion, a remaining-amount detection portion, a determination portion, and a notification portion. The threshold setting portion sets a threshold with respect to a remaining amount capable of being supplied by the carrier tape, for each of the tape feeders, depending on types of the tape feeders. The remaining-amount detection portion detects a remaining amount of components capable of being supplied by the carrier tape, for each of the tape feeders. The determination portion determines whether the remaining amount detected by the remaining-amount detection portion is lower than the threshold set in the threshold setting portion, for each of the tape feeders. The notification portion issues a warning for recommending replenishment of a carrier tape for the tape feeder in which the determination portion determines that the remaining amount is lower than the threshold.

Abstract: A method can be used for outputting a warning of a vehicle. The method includes making a request for a route to a telematics center, receiving route information, a reference point, and point-deduction standard information from the telematics center in response to the request, setting the received reference point and deducting a point corresponding to the point-deduction standard information from the reference point whenever a point-deduction behavior is detected, and issuing the warning when a current point is equal to or less than a preset reference point. The reference point and the point-deduction standard information are determined in consideration of each of a time period of the request and at least one road included in the route information.

A sensor system operatively associated with the control system detects a presence of an object within a defined sensing region adjacent the vehicle. An annunciator system operatively associated with the control system provides an indication that the object has been detected within the defined sensing region. The control system actuates the sensor system when the vehicle is stationary and operates the annunciator system when the sensor system detects the presence of the object within the defined sensing region.

Abstract: Medical procedure related objects (e.g., instruments, supplies) tagged with transponders (e.g., RFID transponders, dumb transponders) are accounted for via an accounting system using a number of antennas and interrogators/readers. The antennas and interrogators/readers are included on a cannula of the trocar so the tagged medical procedure related objects passing through the cannula are detected. A first set of antennas and RFID interrogator(s) interrogate a first portion of the cannula, such as proximate a proximal end at which the medical procedure related objects are introduced to the cannula. A second set of antennas and RFID interrogator(s) interrogate a second portion of the cannula, such as proximate a distal end at which objects exit the cannula for use in a medical procedure. A data store may maintain information including a current status or count of each supply, for instance, as entering or exiting the cannula.
