Abstract: A method for hazard detection and fire prevention during mobile refueling operation includes: accessing a geospatial position of a mobile refueling platform; detecting the geospatial position within a geospatial region as a first condition in a set of conditions, the geospatial region permitted for refueling operation; accessing a distance between the mobile refueling platform and a surface of an object proximal the mobile refueling platform; detecting the distance exceeding a distance threshold as a second condition in the set of conditions; accessing a concentration of a gas proximal the mobile refueling platform; detecting the concentration falling below a concentration threshold as a third condition in the first set of conditions; and in response to the set of conditions corresponding to a set of target conditions for mobile refueling operation, transmitting a control signal to open a fuel valve of the mobile refueling platform.

Abstract: An autonomous parking arrangement for a motor vehicle includes at least one camera associated with the vehicle and capturing images of parking spaces surrounding the vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the at least one camera and processes the captured images. A touch-sensitive display screen is communicatively coupled to the electronic processor and displays the processed images. The display screen enables a user of the motor vehicle to select a parking space in the processed images by touching the display screen. The display screen indicates to the electronic processor which of the parking spaces has been selected by the user.

Abstract: A system for mitigating fire within a battery storage container enclosing an energy storage system includes a sensor configured to detect a precursor condition indicative of a potential fire or explosion, a controller, and a set of extendable battery trays, each including a tray ejector and containing a set of battery cells. The controller detects a precursor condition in a battery tray via the sensor and ejects the battery tray to increase the distance between the battery tray and adjacent battery trays. The system can include a cooling channel in the battery tray configured to cool the set of battery cells, and/or a nozzle configured to direct fluid into the battery tray to suppress the precursor condition. In one variation, the system includes a door of the container configured to open, venting the interior of the container in response to detection of a precursor condition indicating a potential explosion.

Abstract: A head up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a global positioning system module emitting geographic location coordinates associated with the motor vehicle. A database includes lane marking location data stored in association with corresponding geographic location coordinates. An electronic processing device is communicatively coupled to the global positioning system module and to the database. The electronic processing device receives the geographic location coordinates and retrieves from the database lane marking location data stored in association with the received geographic location coordinates. The electronic processing device transmits the retrieved lane marking location data. A head up display is communicatively coupled to the electronic processing device and receives the transmitted lane marking location data. The head up display displays virtual lane markings dependent upon the received lane marking location data.

Abstract: Cross-channel and cross-source data are aggregated into an aggregated data store. Custom segmentation is generated from the aggregated data. A campaign is monitored for the custom segmentation with successes and failures provided as dynamic feedback to a machine learning process that dynamically adjusts the segmentation and the campaign for optimal performance. In an embodiment, a final recommendation is provided identifying a final optimal segmentation and campaign.

Abstract: An aquarium structure for the housing and display of aquatic life, particularly jellyfish, adapted to provide a beneficial flow of fluid within it, such as a rising or suspending current. The aquarium structure includes a bottom surface, at least one sidewall, and a barrier disposed within in spaced apart relation to the bottom surface by a predetermined distance to form a gap therebetween. In preferred embodiments, the aquarium structure includes an air pump and also, is generally cylindrical in shape and disposed vertically along its major axis, to offer a wide area for viewing aquatic life within, and yet a relatively small and compact aquarium housing suitable for “desktop” use, although the invention may have other sizes and configurations. The aquarium housing can also include a lighting assembly disposed below the viewing area and configured to direct illumination therein and in some embodiments onto other surfaces above the aquarium housing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing distracted driving are disclosed herein. A mobile device may receive one or more beacon signals emitted from one or more beacons located at different locations within a vehicle. The mobile device determines whether the mobile device is located within the vehicle. The mobile device disables one or more functions of the mobile device if determined to be in the vehicle. The mobile device then determines whether to re-enable at least one of the disabled functions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for creating and managing a software application. In an embodiment, an application template may first be identified. Application creation configuration information for a new software application may then be determined based on the identified application template. Application source code information may be generated based on the application creation configuration information and stored in a provisioned application source code data store. A build of the application source code information may then be initiated to generate the software application. An application infrastructure configured to host the software application may be provisioned in an infrastructure services provider system, and the software application may be automatically deployed to the provisioned application infrastructure including appropriate security concerns.
