Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for automatically generating an application overflow tool that is dynamically updated and arranged to provide improved access to popular or recently used applications. These systems and methods improve existing technologies by generating an overflow panel different from a task bar, such that the overflow panel provides access to most recently used applications that are not on the task bar. As such, ease of access to applications is improved to increase user efficiency. These systems also improve the way computers operate by leveraging existing GUI layouts to reduce computing resource consumption, such as memory, network latency, I/O, and the like, that would otherwise be required improve access to applications.

Abstract: A transport refrigeration system is provided including a refrigeration unit and a diesel engine powering the refrigeration unit. The diesel engine has an exhaust system for discharging engine exhaust from the diesel engine. An exhaust treatment unit is disposed in the diesel engine exhaust system and includes a diesel oxidation catalyst and a diesel particulate filter. An air control valve is configured to control a quantity of air provided to the diesel engine from an air supply fluidly coupled to the diesel engine. A controller is operably coupled to the air control valve. After initiating regeneration of the diesel particulate filter, the controller is configured to operate the system in either a primary regeneration mode or a secondary regeneration in response to a condition monitored within the exhaust treatment unit.
