  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING AND PROCESSING VEHICLE OPERATOR ACCOUNTS BASED ON VEHICLE OPERATION DATA
    Publication number: 20240078571
    Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing vehicle operation data associated with a temporary or periodic usage of a vehicle by a driver. In aspects, the vehicle operation data may be analyzed to assess a performance of the driver during operation of the vehicle. Based on the performance of the driver, the driver may qualify for a reward.

  • Fluidics platform and method for sample preparation and analysis
    Patent number: 8808643
    Abstract: Herein provided are fluidics platform and method for sample preparation and analysis. The fluidics platform is capable of analyzing DNA from blood samples using amplification assays such as polymerase-chain-reaction assays and loop-mediated-isothermal-amplification assays. The fluidics platform can also be used for other types of assays and analyzes. In some embodiments, a sample in a sealed tube can be inserted directly. The following isolation, detection, and analyzes can be performed without a user's intervention. The disclosed platform may also comprises a sample preparation system with a magnetic actuator, a heater, and an air-drying mechanism, and fluid manipulation processes for extraction, washing, elution, assay assembly, assay detection, and cleaning after reactions and between samples.
