Abstract: A method, program and system to establish tire monitoring of an auxiliary vehicle (2) from a main vehicle (1) is described. The main vehicle (1) detects tire monitor identities of tire monitors (6) of the auxiliary vehicle (2) by the main vehicle. The main vehicle (1) determines whether the auxiliary vehicle tire monitor identities are associated with an identified auxiliary vehicle. If the auxiliary vehicle tire monitor identities are associated with an identified auxiliary vehicle, tire monitoring for the auxiliary vehicle (2) is established on the basis of monitoring values stored for the identified auxiliary vehicle.

Abstract: A system for discharging the electric charge stored in a traction battery of an electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle. The system comprising a traction battery having a plurality cells, a battery management system for balancing or regulating the electric charge stored in each of the battery cells. A sensor for detecting a vehicle event is provided on the vehicle. The battery management system, upon receiving a signal indicative that a vehicle event has occurred, initiates a discharge cycle of the electrical energy stored in one or more of the cells of the battery via an energy dissipation device such as a battery regulator or battery balancer.

Abstract: An interactive computer system and method for recruiting potential employee candidates. A user interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) is provided on a computering device connected to a network for tracking and storing an employee candidate lifecycle with a potential employer. The GUI is preferably configured and operational to provide interactive promotional materials regarding an employment opportunity with a potential employer and establish a first video conference between the candidate and at least one representative of the potential employer.

Abstract: A method, program and system to establish tyre monitoring of an auxiliary vehicle (2) from a main vehicle (1) is described. The main vehicle (1) detects tyre monitor identities of tyre monitors (6) of the auxiliary vehicle (2) by the main vehicle. The main vehicle (1) determines whether the auxiliary vehicle tyre monitor identities are associated with an identified auxiliary vehicle. If the auxiliary vehicle tyre monitor identities are associated with an identified auxiliary vehicle, tyre monitoring for the auxiliary vehicle (2) is established on the basis of monitoring values stored for the identified auxiliary vehicle.

Abstract: A method, program and system of tyre monitoring of a vehicle is described. The tyre pressure and a tyre temperature is monitored for at least one tyre of the vehicle. A user alarm is activated if the tyre temperature of any monitored tyre of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined temperature, regardless of the tyre pressure of the monitored tyre. This has particular benefit in the monitoring of tyres in auxiliary vehicles.

Abstract: A system and method for efficiently detecting and correcting transmission errors in packet-based communications by using cumulative error detection codes. The system may comprise a transmitting unit, which transmits one or more data packets. Each of the transmitted packets may comprise a plurality of transmission subunits. The transmitting unit preferably generates a cumulative error detection code (e.g., cumulative CRC code) for each of the transmission subunits of a packet. The system may further comprise a receiving unit to receive each of the transmission subunits of the packet. The receiving unit preferably generates a new cumulative error detection code for each of the received transmission subunits. The new cumulative error detection code is compared to the received cumulative error detection code to determine if any errors occurred in the transmission of the transmission subunit.
