Abstract: A humidity sensor and method is disclosed. The sensor is configured as an optical fiber based sensor and may be useful in obtaining moisture information, such as humidity and/or relative humidity (RH) in curing concrete. The sensor may be configured to isolate the sensor from external mechanical stresses, chemical reactions and/or temperature fluctuations that may occur in the concrete and/or at least account for such occurrences. Methods of calibrating the sensor are also disclosed. The sensor may be configured as a fiber Bragg sensor.

Abstract: A system for providing a user with historical sales data for a plurality of vehicles comprising a fleet, the system comprising: (a) a database configured to store actual sales data for a plurality of vehicles that have previously been sold; and (b) a computer in communication with the database, the computer being configured to create a page for display to a user, the page including a display of a plurality of historical sales prices for at least one vehicle type that is similar to a user-selected vehicle type, wherein the displayed historical sales prices are calculated from the stored actual sales data and comprise historical sales prices for the at least one similar vehicle type that have been normalized to an average time of sale odometer reading.

Abstract: A system for providing a user with historical sales data having relevance to a plurality of vehicles comprising a fleet for assisting users with defining residual values for fleet vehicles and performing cost going forward analyses and/or depreciation analyses of fleet vehicles. In one embodiment, such data can be useful for performing long term fleet planning wherein a computerized system is configured to determine a quantity of vehicles to be purchased during a future predetermined time period for inclusion in a vehicle fleet in response to a variety of user inputs.

Abstract: A method of processing a reservation transaction between a customer and reservation-booking entity via a computer network inter-connecting a customer computer with an automated reservation transaction processor, the reservation transaction requiring submission of at least three different types of reservation data from the customer for successful completion thereof, each reservation data type having one of a plurality of different values, wherein each reservation data type value is dependent upon other reservation data type values, the method including presenting an initial page for data value entry for a plurality of reservation data types, accepting for partial data entry data values for less than all of said reservation data types, and determining, on the basis of the interdependence of the different data values for the different reservation data types, a list of acceptable data values for any un-entered reservation data types.
