Abstract: Systems and methods for network-based cloud service platform integrations with dealer management systems (DMS) are disclosed herein. A cloud service platform may integrate over the network with an instance of a DMS used by an end user. The cloud service platform may define fields that can be used in conjunction with forms useable with the DMS, and may be further capable of storing field data for those fields. The cloud service platform may provide a graphical user interface (GUI) prompt to a user of the DMS to provide the field data. A form using the fields defined at the cloud service platform may be provided to the cloud service platform and filled at the cloud service platform using field data for those fields stored at the cloud service platform. The form may then be provided to a print service for presentation to the user.

Abstract: A park brake controller with multiple communication channels and failsafe methods for use therewith are provided. In one embodiment, a park brake controller is provided comprising a plurality of transceivers. In response to at least one of the plurality of transceivers not being able to receive, from a communication network in a vehicle, a park brake request and vehicle sensor data, the park brake request and vehicle sensor data are sent in a different, more-robust form to be received by another one of the plurality of transceivers. Other embodiments are provided.

Abstract: A test and measurement system includes an instrument having an input port structured to receive an input signal from a Device Under Test (DUT), a memory structured to store data derived from the input signal, a remote access manager, and an instrument state manager structured to maintain a present operating state of the instrument. The system further includes a remote device structured to receive through a communication network at least a portion of the stored data derived from the input signal from the instrument, and further structured to receive a transaction identifier that identifies the present operating state of the instrument when the portion of the stored data was acquired by the instrument. Methods are also described.

Abstract: A system for demodulating and decoding a data body in a message transmitted along a vehicle power line is provided. First and second logic symbols in the data body include distinctive positive and negative peaks, respectively, assuming maximum positive and negative amplitudes for the data body. A peak detector circuit receives the data body and generates a peak indicator signal indicating each time the data body reaches a positive or negative peak having an amplitude equal to or greater than the previous largest positive or negative amplitude in the data body. A sampling circuit generates a data signal responsive to the peak indicator signal. The sampling circuit ignores portions of the peak indicator signal occurring prior to an indication of one of the distinctive positive and negative peaks and the data signal assumes values indicative of the distinctive positive and negative peaks in the peak indicator signal.

Abstract: A system for demodulating and decoding received messages transmitted along a vehicle power line includes a reference signal generator, a timer, and a demodulation and decoding circuit. The circuit determines whether a message is present on the power line by identifying a symbol indicative of a message preamble, subsequently setting the timer to a time corresponding to a predetermined length of the message preamble, detecting, during the time, a plurality of symbols and determining whether the symbols indicate the presence of a message preamble. The circuit then extracts data from the message by activating the reference signal generator, adding the reference signal to the message to produce an equivalent signal, detecting a symbol in the equivalent signal indicative of the message data body, subsequently setting the timer to a time corresponding to a predetermined length of the message data body and detecting, during the time, a second plurality of symbols.

Abstract: Systems and methods for network-based cloud service platform integrations with dealer management systems (DMS) are disclosed herein. A cloud service platform may integrate over the network with an instance of a DMS used by an end user. The cloud service platform may define fields that can be used in conjunction with forms useable with the DMS, and may be further capable of storing field data for those fields. The cloud service platform may provide a graphical user interface (GUI) prompt to a user of the DMS to provide the field data.
