Abstract: The vehicle rear occupant alert system provides alerts corresponding to occupancy of rear seats. The system comprises a door position sensor, an ignition sensor, and an alert system. Further, the alert system comprises a processor and a memory. The door position sensor determines a rear door status between an ajar position and a closed position. The ignition sensor determines an ignition state between an ON state and an OFF state. The alert system is coupled with the sensors. The processor adjusts status of the alert system as armed if the rear door transitions from ajar to closed position and the ignition transitions from OFF to ON state. The alert system notifies and alerts a driver to check the rear seat when the ignition transitions to OFF state. The processor rearms the alert system after the ignition transitions from OFF to ON state within a predefined time.

Abstract: In various aspects, the performance optimization system described herein optimizes vehicle performance through smart alerts communicated to an operator, owner, or fleet manager of a vehicle. When a vehicle characteristic is outside of the target range, a smart alert can be communicated to the user to encourage the user to bring the vehicle characteristic back into a target range. Aspects of the performance optimization system can focus on tire characteristics, which are one type of vehicle characteristic. Exemplary tire characteristics can include tire pressure, tire tread, and tire alignment. In order to generate smart alerts, vehicle information can be gathered from a variety of sources. In particular, information about a tire can be collected from an onboard tire pressure monitoring system, tire mats, or other mechanisms. This information can be analyzed to determine whether vehicle characteristics are inside or outside of a target range for the particular characteristic.

Abstract: An electronic wheel unit for detecting a tire pressure of a tire of a vehicle wheel, for storing tire information of the tire and for sending tire pressure information and tire information. The wheel unit is configured to allow the alteration of stored tire information in a first mode of operation and to prevent the alteration of stored tire information in a second mode of operation. To improve the integrity and safety of the stored tire information in this case, the wheel unit is further configured to change from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation when a first mode change criterion is satisfied. The satisfaction of the first mode change criterion is dependent at least on an operating parameter of the vehicle wheel that is representative of a rotational movement of the vehicle wheel.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and delivering medication to a patient. The system includes a controller that has a control algorithm and a closed loop control that monitors the control algorithm. A sensor is in communication with the controller and monitors a medical condition. A rule based application in the controller receives data from the sensor and the closed loop control and compares the data to predetermined medical information to determine the risk of automation of therapy to the patient. A system monitor is also in communication with the controller to monitor system, remote system, and network activity and conditions. The controller then provides a predetermined risk threshold where below the predetermined risk threshold automated closed loop medication therapy is provided. If the predetermined risk threshold is met or exceeded, automated therapy adjustments may not occur and user/clinician intervention is requested.

Abstract: Digital certificates are signed by a server's private key and installed at lock controllers that restrict access to physical resources. The server's public key is distributed to lock controllers and to mobile electronic devices operated by users who are given access to the physical resources. Lock-access data is digitally signed by the server's private key and provided to mobile electronic devices to facilitate access. The lock controller validates lock-access data and grants access conditionally based on time, version, and/or identity data provided within lock-access data. The use of certificates reduces the need to rely on a security scheme specific to the network. Lock controllers can also broadcast status notifications, so that updates and log data can be securely communicated with the server using mobile electronic devices as a proxy. The system is highly scalable, as each lock controller need not track the full scope of access permissions.
