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 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.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rolling device that is adapted to provide a continuous rolling surface on an underside of a conventional scooter. The rolling device comprises a chassis and a series of rollers rotatably attached to the chassis, thus enabling the scooter to smoothly roll over bumps, dips, or other uneven surfaces without stopping suddenly or tipping over. The series of rollers are mounted at a uniform height that is elevated from the bottom surface of the front and rear wheels of the scooter to provide a uniform ground clearance for the scooter.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for the production of unsymmetrical, substituted diarylamines by the reaction of a primary aromatic amine and a substituted phenol wherein the phenol is held in excess of the primary aromatic amine thereby minimizing by-product formation as a result of self-condensation of the primary arylamine. The desired secondary amine is produced in high yield and purity by recycling the unreacted phenol.
