Abstract: A tool storage box assembly includes a storage box defines a storage area to contain tools and chemicals commonly employed for over-the-road trucking. A door is hingedly attached to the storage box for opening and closing the storage area. The storage box has a handle storage element and a plurality of bar storage elements for storing a plurality of load bars. A handle is engageable to the handle storage element of the storage box for storing the handle. A broom head is removably attachable to the handle for sweeping and a shovel head is removably attachable to the handle to scoop material. A shelf is coupled to the storage box for storing objects employed by the driver.

Abstract: A system includes an aircraft avionics system and a portable computing device. The aircraft avionics system is configured to run one or more embedded avionics applications. The portable computing device is in operable communication with the aircraft avionics system and is configured to run one or more portable device applications. Each portable device application has resident therein a software development kit having libraries and utilities that enables the portable device application to: establish a secure connection with the aircraft avionics system, establish and maintain a required protocol with the embedded avionics application, and communicate with the embedded avionics application as specified by an application programming interface definition.
