Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a device and a vehicle associated with the device are provided. An example method can comprise monitoring a behavior of a first device in a vehicle, collecting the data associated with the behavior of the first device, and transmitting the data to a second device remote from the vehicle. In an aspect, the first and second device can be a mobile device such as a cell phone, smart phone, PDA, tablet, computer or the like. As an example, the behavior of the device can comprise at least one of a speed, an acceleration, a location, and an orientation, a user authentication, a type of use, and a time of use, whether the device is actively used while device is moving, etc.

Abstract: A method for determining the severity of brain function impairment in a person due to an insult to the brain such as mild traumatic brain injury, aging or intoxication is disclosed including the steps of determining a processing time value of the person in accordance with an elapsed time between a stimulus applied to the person and a response to the stimulus provided by the person, wherein the processing time value is representative of the impaired brain function. Electrical signals are provided in accordance with the processing time value, whereby the electrical signals are representative of the impaired brain function. Mathematical operations are performed upon the electrical signals to provide a processing time index. The severity of brain function impairment is determined in accordance with the processing time index. The severity of a concussion or brain impairment can be determined quantitatively in accordance with the processing time index.

Abstract: A bearing having a spherically convex radially outer surface is pivotably mounted in a spherically concave bore of a bearing housing. An annular housing cap is mounted against an axial end of the bearing housing, the housing cap having a radially inwardly directed annular groove and providing clearance with respect to the rotatable shaft such that pivoting of the bearing within the housing is permitted. At least two split laminar rings located within the annular groove of the housing cap are spring-loaded radially inwardly for biased engagement with the rotatable shaft.

Abstract: An adjustable net includes sections which are adapted to overlap and fastening elements which hold such overlapping portions to shorten the length of the net. In another embodiment a detachable sleeve is movable along the length of the net to set the overall length of the net. Also, a plurality of sleeves may be selectively placed over net posts to determine the length of the net. In another embodiment, the net may be rolled on a rotatable net post.
