Abstract: A climate management system for a compartment of a vehicle includes a divider selectively disposed in the compartment to divide the compartment into two zones in response to connection with a wall of the compartment. The system further includes a sensor monitoring the compartment and configured to detect the divider in the compartment. The system further includes at least one fluid connection in the compartment. The system further includes at least one actuator configured to control fluid flow through the at least one fluid connection. The system further includes control circuitry in communication with the sensor and the at least one actuator and is configured to communicate a signal to adjust the at least one actuator based on the detection of the divider.

Abstract: A control system, which may be a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control system, controls a component by adjusting the control input and the execution of the control output whenever a change in a state of a component exceeds a certain value. A method is also described.

Abstract: A walker apparatus includes a framework having upstanding front and rear support members connecting upper and lower sections. The upper section is mounted atop upper ends of respective front and rear support members. The upper section includes a pair of side members each having opposed front and rear ends coupled to respective front and rear support member upper ends. The upper section includes a rear support member extending between rear ends of respective upper section side members. The upper section includes a front support member pivotally coupled at a proximal end to a front support member upper end and releasably coupled to another so as to be movable between open and closed configurations. The apparatus includes a lower section having first and second supports bars each having an outwardly arcuate configuration and positioned so as not to create a trip hazard when the front support member is open.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for accurately storing and reading digital identifications and permissions with an access rights management component that protects the privacy and integrity of the data stored. Aspects of the invention enable effective use of smart cards for applications such as air travelers identity, medical information such as history and prescriptions, or secure employee access cards. Multiple levels of security are permitted to ensure that users of the data, programs, and other resources stored on the card may access only that data that they have been authorized to. The use of a single card for multiple user roles may be used in conjunction with multiple access methods.
