Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for transmitting a message to a user device in accordance with a determination that another device is unreachable over a network. In one example, a server device, at a first location, may identify a controller device resident at a second location, whereby the controller device is configured to communicate with a router at the second location. The server device may also receive a list of user devices. The server device may transmit a ping message to the controller device via the router to determine whether the controller device is unreachable by the server device. The server device may subsequently transmit a message to a user device on the list in accordance with a determination that the controller device is unreachable by the server device, whereby the message includes instructions for the user device to determine whether the controller device is unreachable by the user device.

Abstract: An occupant support includes a vehicle seat, a sensor coupled to the vehicle seat, and a controller coupled to the sensor. The sensor provides a signal to the controller and the controller processes and responds to the sensed signal. In illustrative embodiments, a controller includes a sensor module, a filter module, and a biometrics module. The sensor module retrieves sensor data indicative of an occupant of a vehicle seat from one or more sensors of a vehicle. The filter module determines a filter function in a frequency range in which useful biological data may be derived. The filter function identifies one or more frequencies of noise in the sensor data and applies the filter function to the sensor data to generate filtered sensor data. The biometrics module determines biometric data associated with the occupant based on the filtered sensor data.

Abstract: This invention describes a quick-dissolving thin film strips comprising bioactive components encapsulated within pH-sensitive polymeric microparticles. The microparticles are embedded within the thin film and provide protection to components encapsulated within. The invention further describes methods to incorporate bioactive components encapsulated within pH-sensitive polymeric microparticles into a quick-dissolving thin film strip while maintaining the bioactivity of the contained therapeutic agents during thin film formation and microencapsulation.
