Abstract: A contextual processing engine architecture. The architecture utilizes data objects retrieved from a database to form a new transactional item data structure as input into a contextual processing engine. The transactional data structure includes a prior context pointer to point to historical context. The historical context can be null for new transactions or one or more basis transaction item data structures for contextual transactions. The processing engine processes the input using process functions lists and aggregates the results for output.

Abstract: A bedside storage assembly includes a panel that is elongated such that the panel can be slid between a mattress and a box spring of a bed. A pole is coupled to and extends upwardly from the panel to extend upwardly beyond the mattress when the panel is positioned between the mattress and the box spring. A pair of retention collars is each positionable around the pole. A pair of mounting collars each rests on a respective one of the retention collars. A basket is attached to each of the mounting collars thereby facilitating the basket to be suspended on the pole such that the basket is accessible to a user lying on the bed. A pair of dividers is each positioned in the basket to define a plurality of storage areas in the basket for storing objects.

Abstract: A method may include receiving data about a first person and a second person, the first person having a contagion. The method may include determining whether a first location is within a proximity distance to a second location. The method may include determining whether a first time is within a proximity time period with a second time. The method may include defining a proximity relationship for the second person relative to the first person. The defined proximity relationship may be positive when the first location is within the proximity distance and first time is within the proximity time period, or the defined proximity relationship may be negative when either the first location is not within the proximity distance or first time is not within the proximity time period. When the proximity relationship is positive, the second person may be labeled as being contaminated by the contagion.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing hours of service management. A method is provided that operates to provide advisements to a vehicle operator. The method includes receiving a status message in a transmission from a vehicle, wherein the status message comprises a status parameter, and determining a compliance indicator associated with the status parameter, wherein the compliance indicator is selected from confirmation, violation, and threshold indicators. The method also includes generating an advisement message based on the compliance indicator, and transmitting the advisement message to the vehicle.
