  • Publication number: 20210245719
    Abstract: The invention is a mobile fueling system for vehicles that includes a fleet of mobile fuel stations, such as trucks. Each mobile fuel station has at least one fuel reservoir adapted for storing either liquid fuel, gaseous fuel and electric fuel. The system also includes a data processing hub and a network providing wireless data communication between vehicles, the fleet of mobile fuel stations, and the data processing hub. The data processing hub receives vehicle data from vehicles and fleet data from each mobile fuel station over the network. The vehicle data is transmitted from a customer's smart device running a customer app.

  • Publication number: 20210076950
    Abstract: The invention is a system for monitoring and reporting health and wellness data. The system includes a pre-qualification mechanism, whereby an individual can become a pre-qualified user. The system also includes a plurality of stations, with each station including a user identification unit to determine if the user is a pre-qualified user and, if so, identify that pre-qualified user and a toilet. The toilet includes a bowl to receive excreta, two or more sensors configured to detect properties of the excreta from a pre-qualified user, and a bowl clearing mechanism to dispose of the excreta. Each station also includes a station processor configured to receive signals from the two or more sensors and from the user identification unit to create excreta event data for the identified pre-qualified user. Each station also includes a station data communication unit.

  • Publication number: 20190003211
    Abstract: A latching device with a blocking device that is capable of preventing unintentional opening of a door or a flap in the case of a crash. The blocking device includes a pyrotechnic gas generator. The pyrotechnic gas generator triggers in the case of a crash and moves a blocking element into a blocking position which prevents opening of the locking mechanism of the latching device.

  • Publication number: 20180339682
    Abstract: The invention is a mobile fueling system for vehicles that includes a fleet of mobile fuel stations, such as trucks. Each mobile fuel station has at least one fuel reservoir adapted for storing either liquid fuel, gaseous fuel and electric fuel. The system also includes a data processing hub and a network providing wireless data communication between vehicles, the fleet of mobile fuel stations, and the data processing hub. The data processing hub receives vehicle data from vehicles and fleet data from each mobile fuel station over the network. The data processing hub is configured to dispatch via the network the mobile fuel stations in the fleet to vehicles in need of fuel based on at least three of the following factors: vehicle fuel level, a vehicle fuel request, vehicle location, a vehicle owner stored fueling location preference, a vehicle owner service request, reservoir fuel contents, reservoir fuel level and mobile fuel station location.

  • Patent number: 5259029
    Abstract: Upon execution of the protected software, a random number is generated by the software and displayed to the user. The user inputs this number into a conversion device. This device utilizes a algorithm to obtain a unique output value. The user enters this response value into the software program. A code segment in the software compares the random number originally generated with the response value and determines if the proper algorithm has been applied. If the algorithm is verified the protected portion of the program is initiated. If the algorithm is not verified the software provides the user with a menu of one or more options but does not grant access to the protected portion of the program. Options would include 1) The use of a pay-per-call phone service to provide the unique output valued provided by the algorithm, 2) A toll free number by which a conversion device can be purchased, 3) Limited access to a demonstration version of the protected portion of the program.
