Abstract: An extendable and adjustable insect entrapment apparatus reaches insects and pests in hard to reach areas through a multi-jointed elongated rod that hinges and pivots into various configuration to reach and entrap the insects with a pad of stacked, singular sticky sheets. The rod has a proximal end with a formed hole for hanging the apparatus from a distal end. At least one joint in the rod is fixedly set at a desired angle and orientation. The sticky sheets retain any insects which travel or fall into a base at the distal end of the rod. Each sheet is coated with a mild compression adhesive material that entraps an insect in response to an application of force against the insect. Each sticky sheet can be separated individually. Upon entrapment of an insect, the outermost sticky sheet restraining the insect is separated, folded to encase the insect, and disposed of.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: receiving first sensor data related to a first user; determining locations visited by the first user based on the first sensor data; determining objects with which the first user has interacted based on the first sensor data; determining communication style information of the first user based on the first sensor data; categorizing the determined locations, the determined objects, and the determined communication style information; comparing the categorized determined locations to categorized locations of a second user; comparing the categorized determined objects to categorized objects with which the second user has interacted; comparing, by the computer device, the categorized determined communication style information to categorized communication style information of the second user, the comparing resulting from the second user being within the predetermined distance from the first user; and suggesting to the first user a topic of conversation based on the comparing.

Abstract: A system, vehicle and method are provided that automatically activate and deactivate a driver assistance system. The automatic activation and deactivation depend on predefined criteria such as brake or gas pedal release, current vehicle velocity, and the presence of a lead vehicle.
