Abstract: A method establishes a vehicle area network on a vehicle having a tractor with a tractor wireless hub, the tractor being connected to a first trailer having a first trailer wireless hub. The method activates the tractor hub and the first trailer wireless hub, and shares credentials between the tractor wireless hub and the first trailer wireless hub in accordance with out of band pairing techniques. Typically, the tractor wireless hub acts as an access point for the vehicle area network but the access point can be centralized by: searching down a length of the vehicle to determine relative locations of the tractor wireless hub, the first trailer wireless hub and the second trailer wireless hub; determining a centrally located hub based on the locations; and establishing the centrally located hub as the access point.

Abstract: The technology provides a method for monitoring a load carrier vehicle (10: 12: 22: 154), comprising measuring at least one sensor value indicating a force and determining a mass based on the at least one sensor value. Furthermore, monitoring devices (156) used in the method and load carrier vehicles (10: 12: 22: 154) are described.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide improved physical space planning and development. One or more network devices obtain a business profile of a workgroup using an activity-based workspace and determine space requirements for the business profile. The network devices store component parameters for design components that can potentially be deployed to the activity-based workspace and solicit, via a graphical user interface, a workspace layout for the activity-based workspace. The soliciting includes providing a list of the design components that can be selectively placed within the workspace layout.

Abstract: Embodiments included herein are directed towards an automatic tire inflation monitoring system and method. The method may include confirming, using a battery powered electronic sensor, that there is no active tire re-inflation in progress. The method may further include monitoring, using the battery powered electronic sensor, the status of all tire pressures over a period of time and determining, using the battery powered electronic sensor, whether a rate of tire pressure reduction exceeds a first value. The method may include reporting, using the battery powered electronic sensor, a fault if the rate exceeds the first value.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for alleviating respiratory depression in a subject as a result of disease of pharmacological agents such as opiates, opioids or barbiturates. The invention also discloses pharmaceutical compositions for use with the method, the composition containing in combination, an analgesic, anaesthetic, or a sedative and a positive allosteric AMPA receptor modulator in an amount sufficient to reduce or inhibit respiratory depression caused by the analgesic, anaesthetic, or sedative.

Abstract: A modular fuel nozzle tip for a gas turbine engine includes a body defining one or more fuel conveying passages extending therethrough, an annular cap having a radially inner shoulder surface interfacing with the peripheral end surface of the body to define a plurality of air channels extending through the head portion of the modular fuel nozzle tip. At least two fasteners fasten the annular cap to the body.

Abstract: A software application for execution upon an electronic device (e.g., large display kiosk, a smartphone, etc.) for a consumer of real estate. The software application provides to the user information, statistics, or other data regarding real estate or associated geographic regions based upon user criteria. The software application may allow multiple simultaneous search results to be run on a single display screen. The software application may also be configured to allow a user to make payments associated with a real estate property and/or request service associated with a real estate property. Advertisement capabilities may be included with the software application to rank, display, or otherwise provide information to the user base of the software application.

Abstract: An apparatus (e.g., kiosk, information wall, stand, etc.) for displaying an executed software application. The apparatus may be used to display search results regarding real estate properties and allow a user to interface therewith to input desired criteria. The apparatus may include multiple displays (e.g., synchronized) or a single display, multiple users that may simultaneously interface with the apparatus (e.g., either via a single user per display and/or multiple users using a single display), and/or may include sound (e.g., directional sound). The apparatus may be connected (e.g., hard-wired and/or wireless connections) with one or more computers that execute, receive input, and/or output images or other data to the kiosk. High resolution and/or large dimension displays may allow for placement of the apparatus in leasing offices or other company-owned locations for attracting customers and allowing potential customers to interface therewith in place of or in cooperation with employees of the company.

Abstract: Auto-location systems and methods of tire pressure monitoring sensor units arranged with a wheel of a vehicle detect a predetermined time (T1) when a wheel phase angle reaches angle of interest using a rim mounted or a tire mounted sensor. The systems and methods transmit a radio frequency message associated with a wheel phase angle indication. The wheel phase angle indication triggers wheel phase and/or speed data such as ABS data at the predetermined time (T1) to be stored. A correlation algorithm is executed to identify the specific location of a wheel based on the wheel phase and/or speed data at the predetermined time (T1). TPM sensor parameters from a tire pressure monitoring sensor unit are assigned to the specific location of the wheel based on a confidence interval width analysis of the ABS data at the predetermined (T1).

Abstract: A TPM system wheel unit measures rotational period over a number of wheel revolutions, calculates a value of a period of the revolutions and wirelessly transmits the calculated value of the period to a tire pressure monitoring system receiver in the vehicle mounting the wheel. Alternatively, each wheel unit transmits an RF burst of a predetermined length and a received RF burst envelope modulated with a periodic modulation pattern is used to calculate the period of one wheel rotation for each wheel. A central vehicle electronic control unit monitors wheel speed signals for each wheel of the vehicle and calculates a period for the wheel speed signal for each wheel of the vehicle, bounded by a rolling window which may be of variable length. The calculated values are compared and the wheel unit and the wheel location are correlated therefrom.
