  • Publication number: 20230245569
    Abstract: A location and governance system and method for light electric vehicles that includes on-board sensors and receivers for providing readings used to compute absolute and relative vehicle position information, and combining the absolute and relative position information to compute a determined vehicle position, and a current surface type being traveled on by the vehicle. Governance commands for the vehicle can be generated based on the current surface type. Positioning system receivers, inertial measuring units, cameras and other sensor can be used. Vibration analysis, image processing, transition detection and other methods can be used to determine vehicle position and surface type, and spatial databases and other resources can be used. Determining a current surface type the vehicle is travelling on can include determining whether the vehicle is traveling on a sidewalk.

  • Patent number: 11631049
    Abstract: An inventory, disposition, and order management system and method utilizes multiple data sources to obtain complementary and augmented product data to determine an enhanced set of product data that reflects product inventory and disposition history information in a supply chain. The system and method can utilize the complementary and augmented product data to formulate recommended orders to achieve product dealer sales goals. The system and method compare the product data obtained from the data sources and reconcile any discrepancies. In at least one embodiment, the product data includes product identification data, product inventory data, product configuration data, and product disposition history data. Obtaining data from multiple sources allows the system and method to develop more accurate and complete data through an audit and reconciliation process as opposed to data obtained from a single source.

  • Publication number: 20220000821
    Abstract: Described is a method of diagnosis or prognosis of preeclampsia in a pregnant subject, comprising providing a sample from a pregnant subject and measuring the ratio between the amount of (a) one or both of sFlt-1 and PlGF, and (b) one or both of a breakdown product of heme and a breakdown product of arginine, in the sample. Also described are assay kits and a computer adapted for use in the method. Also described is a method of treating preeclampsia, comprising administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of L-arginine and/or citrulline and an inhibitor of arginase or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also described is a method of treating cancer, comprising treating a subject with a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-VEGF compound, L-arginine and an arginase inhibitor.
