Abstract: A process of tracking comprises configuring a reader to wirelessly communicate with tags within an asset-tracking space and a task identifying a tag that is associated with an asset of interest. A sensor detects that the task has commenced by determining that an asset has been placed on an asset conveyance mechanism. The reader receives information (including identifier data) from the tags, and signal strength data for the tags is also obtained by the reader. The sensor detects that task has ended when the asset has been removed from the asset conveyance mechanism. Packets are created including the identifier data and signal strength data for the tags at a specific time. The packets are evaluated by identifying which of the tags that are present within a select one or more of the packets and surpass a signal strength threshold. Then a predetermined action based on the evaluation is performed.

Abstract: A pest control and/or detection system generally includes an electrically conductive bait matrix including at least one carrier material that is at least one of palatable, a phagostimulant and/or consumable and/or displaceable by pests, and a plurality of electrically conductive particles. The electrically conductive particles are substantially randomly interspersed throughout the at least one carrier material. The at least one carrier material includes a thermoplastic material and/or a resin.

Abstract: A wireless controller area network (CAN) bus bridge includes a CAN subsystem, a wireless communication module, and a controller coupled to the CAN subsystem and the wireless communication module. The CAN subsystem is configured to be communicatively coupled to a CAN bus to receive a CAN message from the CAN bus. The wireless communication module is operable to wirelessly communicate according to two different versions of a wireless communication protocol. The CAN subsystem is configured to provide the received CAN message to the controller. The controller is programmed to generate a binary message including the received CAN message and to provide the generated binary message to the wireless communication module for transmission from the wireless CAN bus bridge using at least one of the two different versions of the wireless communication protocol.
