Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a data processing device configured to be connected to one or more physiological sensors for receiving physiological data of a user, to one or more behavioral sensors for receiving behavioral data of the user and to a vehicle context detection unit for receiving vehicle context information, and to determine a discomfort level index value based on a personality profile of the user together with at least the vehicle context information and physiological and behavioral data received within corresponding time windows, as well as a method for evaluating user discomfort implemented by said data processing device.

Abstract: A reinforcement system includes an adapter, a friction bolt, a drilling rod coupled to the adapter, and a drill bit configured to drill an opening optimally sized for receiving the friction bolt. The drilling rod has a diameter that allows for introduction of the drilling rod into the friction bolt.

Abstract: A reinforcement system characterized by being formed by a standard helical rod, an expansion head adapted to the thread of the rod, a conical element made of a plastic material, a tube or sheath made of corrugated plastic, a reinforcement plate, and a standard threaded reinforcement nut, according to the helical rod employed, in order to provide immediate mechanical anchoring and the option of subsequent mortar injection.

Abstract: An artificial insemination device is formed by a semen-filled tube or tube at one end of a pipette with a syringe attached to the other end. A fitted insemination point is fitted to the free end of the semen-filled straw. The semen-filled tube is attached with the adjustable openings in the pipette and the fitted point, in such a way that the semen-filled tube of different diameters can be forced to adjust to the adjustable opening. The pipette-tube-point unit is inserted in the vagina of the animal using a speculum until the tip with one or more folds, one or more openings and a spherical sealing mechanism, enters the cervix and forms a seal between the tip and cervix. The syringe, which contains the diluent, is pressed to force the semen and the diluent fluid toward at least one ejection outlet in the tip and out toward the uterus of the animal. Optimum quantities of semen and diluent fluid may be provided for different animals.

Abstract: A system for targeted messaging includes a messaging platform for communicating messages to a target group, a target group selecting module for selecting the target group from a group of potential message recipients based upon the location of each potential message recipient relative to a predefined targeted region. A method of targeted messaging includes defining a targeted region, selecting a target group from a group of potential message recipients based upon the location of each potential message recipient relative to the targeted region, and transmitting a message to the selected target group.

Abstract: A system for targeted messaging includes a messaging platform for communicating messages to a target group, a target group selecting module for selecting the target group from a group of potential message recipients based upon a target criterion including the location of each potential message recipient relative to a predefined targeted region. A method of targeted messaging includes defining a targeted region, selecting a target group from a group of potential message recipients based upon the location of each potential message recipient relative to the targeted region, and transmitting a message to the selected target group.

Abstract: An artificial insemination device is formed by attaching a semen filled straw or tube to one end of a pipette to which a syringe is attached at the other end. An anchorable tip is attached to the other end of the semen filled tube. The semen filled tube is attached by forming tapered bores in the pipette and anchorable tip so that semen filled tubes of various diameters can be press fit into the tapered bores. The pipette-tube-tip assembly is inserted into the animal's vagina using a speculum until the tip enters the cervix, and a seal is formed between the tip and cervix by inflating an attached balloon. The syringe, which contains a diluent fluid, is pushed to force semen and diluent fluid out through ejection port(s) in the tip into the animal's uterus. Optimum amounts of semen and diluent fluid can be delivered to various sized animals.
