Abstract: A secondary power system is configured to connect to a motor vehicle having a powertrain comprising an engine and a first alternator. The secondary power system includes a second alternator connected to the engine, one or more electro-chemical storage devices coupled to the second alternator and configured to be charged by the alternator, and one or more inverter chargers. The inverter chargers may operate in a first mode to provide AC power to loads on the vehicle or in a second mode to receive alternative power and charge the storage devices. In an embodiment, the secondary power system includes multiple storage devices each comprising at least one electro-chemical storage pack and a logic. The storage devices are interconnected by a junction box. The logics within each storage device may selectively disrupt power flow from the junction box upon detection of an error condition.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed. A GUI is provided that includes at least one interactive location of a trading screen. The location corresponds to a tradeable object. A graphical object is populated with data relating to a current market condition, and the object is populated on the basis of a respective location in the trading screen. The GUI object is presented in the graphical user interface, at the respective location in the trading screen such that the GUI object presents a portion of the populated data centered around the respective location. A tactile input action associated with the object is received in the GUI, and the trade instruction is caused to be constructed that is associated with the GUI object and the received single-click action. Further, the trade instruction is transmitted to at least one computing device that is configured to execute the trade instruction.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and/or a method provide for wirelessly collecting data corresponding to a product attached to a security device. The security device associated with the product transmits wireless signals throughout a display area. A computer remotely positioned from the security device receives the wireless signals and stores status data of the security device. The computer wirelessly transmits the status data to a remote server, and the remote server determines statistical data from the status data. The remote server stores the statistical data in a database and facilitates user access to the data.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method monitor a device within a zone. A head may wirelessly communicate with an emitter and a hub. The head may connect and/or disconnect power to a battery of the device according to a charge of the battery. The head may monitor an attachment of the head to the device and/or a connection of a cable to the head and/or a port of the device. The emitter may transmit a signal to define the zone and/or the head may receive the signal. A distance between the head and the emitter may be determined using a received signal strength indication and/or a time of flight measurement of the signal from the emitter to the head. The distance may indicate whether the head is positioned within the zone or outside of the zone. An alarm may be triggered if the head is positioned outside of the zone.

Abstract: A deadbolt reinforcement bracket device secures a deadbolt and door jamb to a structural frame surrounding a doorway. The device includes a bracket having a plurality of holes extending therethrough. A first section of the bracket is couplable to a structural frame and a second section of the bracket is couplable to a door jamb. A receiver is coupled to and extends from the bracket. The receiver is fixedly positioned relative to the bracket and has an aperture extending therethrough to receive a deadbolt wherein the receiver inhibits lateral movement of the deadbolt relative to the bracket.

Abstract: A system and method for airbag deployment sensing with a mobile device is provided. The system senses an effluent indicative of airbag deployment with a chemical sensor and determines if an airbag deployment condition exists based on the sensing of the chemical sensor. The system may then initiate an emergency communication if it is determined that the airbag deployment condition exists.

Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing communication options, including providing one or more 4D entertainment signals, the one or more entertainment signals being associated with one or more 4D entertainment effects, providing one or more vehicle systems; and interfacing the one or more signals with the one or more vehicle systems, the one or more vehicle systems being configured to implement the one or more 4D entertainment effects.

Abstract: A tail section for a surfboard includes a substantially v-shaped notch or cutout intersecting substantially trailing edges formed between two points. Each of the substantially straight trailing edges extend to the arcuate side of the body of the surfboard.

Abstract: A decorated ear tag for livestock is disclosed that comprises a pre-printed multi-layer label bonded to a suitable tag blank to form a unitary finished tag. The resulting tag, and the information displayed thereby, are extremely resistant to deterioration by sunlight and other elements. In addition, the surface of the information panel of the resulting tag has a high slip factor that discourages obscurement of the displayed information by manure or other materials adhering to the tag.
