Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for tank level monitoring. To perform monitoring of fuel levels of fuel tanks, tank level monitor devices may be affixed to the fuel tanks. The tank level monitors may be used to provide data relating to the fuel tanks to a remote location (such as a mobile device application). A predictive algorithm may also be implemented to more effectively schedule refueling events for various fuel tanks.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for sending vehicle information and health data over a wireless network. An example method may include receiving, from an on-board diagnostic (OBD) device associated with a vehicle and over a LoRaWAN network, a first message including first data, wherein the first data is a first category of data received by the OBD device from the vehicle. The example method may also include receiving, from the OBD device and over the LoRaWAN network, a second message including second data, wherein the second data is a second category of data received by the OBD device from the vehicle.

Abstract: A system for identifying an illegitimate communication tag can include a first communication tag that transmits first communication signals, where the first communication signals include a first identification of the first communication tag. The system can also include a second communication tag that transmits second communication signals, where the second communication signals include the first identification. The system can further include electrical devices having receivers that receive the first communication signals and the second communication signals. The system can also include a controller communicably coupled to the electrical devices, where the controller analyzes the first communication signals to generate first information. The controller also updates a table using the first information and analyzes the second communication signals to generate second information.

Abstract: A system for assigning alternative identification to objects can include a first communication device of a first object, where the first communication device broadcasts a first communication signal that includes a first identification of the first object. The system can also include a first electrical device having a first receiver and a first transmitter, where the first receiver receives the first communication signal. The system can further include a controller communicably coupled to the first electrical device, where the controller retrieves the first identification of the first communication device from the first communication signal, assigns a first alternative identification to the first communication device based on the first identification, saves the first identification and the first alternative identification of the first object in a first table, and sends a second communication signal that includes the first alternative identification and the first identification of the first object.

Abstract: A system can include multiple electrical devices that includes at least one sensor that measures a first parameter. The system can further include a controller communicably coupled to the electrical devices and the at least one sensor. The controller can receive a first measurement of a first parameter from at least one sensor, where the first measurement is associated with a first electrical device of the electrical devices; determine, based on the first measurement, that the first parameter falls outside a first range of acceptable values caused by a failure of the first electrical device; determine that adjusting at least one other electrical device compensates for the failure of the first electrical device; and adjust the at least one other electrical device from a default setting to a compensatory setting to compensate for the failure of the first electrical device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for controlling access to media content includes defining a viewing profile for at least one viewing user according to a multiplicity of attributes associated with the media content, assigning allowable limits to the multiplicity of attributes in the viewing profile, where each of the allowable limits indicates a rating limit for one of the multiplicity of attributes, receiving attribute ratings associated with a media content item, where each of the attribute ratings is associated with one of the multiplicity of attributes, determining viewing permissibility for the media content item by the at least one viewing user by comparing the attribute ratings with the allowable limits, and based on the viewing permissibility, allowing or disallowing the at least one viewing user to view the media content item.

Abstract: A device, system and related method are described, the method including receiving at an entitlement resource coordinator (ERC) a plurality of fractional entitlements over a network from a plurality of entitlement resource agents (ERAs), combining at a processor comprised in the ERC at least some of the plurality of fractional entitlements into a whole entitlement, using the combined whole entitlement to retrieve a key, and decrypting a content item according to the key. Related devices, systems and methods are also described.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for video traffic flow behavioral classification is implemented on a computing device and includes: receiving coarse flow data from a network router, where the coarse flow data includes summary statistics for data flows on the router, classifying the summary statistics to detect video flows from among the data flows, requesting fine flow data from the network router for each of the detected video flows, where the fine flow data includes information on a per packet basis, receiving the fine flow data from the network router, and classifying each of the detected video flows per video service provider in accordance with the information.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for reserve allocation of event data. A request event is received. The request event is associated with memory storing request event data. Memory for response event data is allocated from a first pool. The response event data is associated with a response, and the response is associated with the request. Upon failure of the allocation of memory for the response event data, memory is obtained for out-of-memory response event data. The out-of-memory response event data is associated with the response event. The request event is completed using the response event.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for navigation in data sets that can contain non-uniform fields. In one embodiment, data sets are defined by horizontal and vertical axes, and horizontal and vertical bias lines are calculated to determine which field is highlighted in response to vertical or horizontal navigation of the data set. In response to a user's navigation, at least one bias line is recalculated. Additional axes, for example a z-axis, and corresponding additional bias lines can be implemented. The invention can be practiced as an interactive program guide for a subscription television service. The fields of the program guide may not be uniform because programs listed in the program guide may have variable start times and/or durations, or because channel information may be redundant. The invention provides more predictable navigation within an interactive program guide. By reversing navigation movements, a user returns to a previously highlighted field.
