  • Patent number: 10752434
    Abstract: Temperature controlled cargo containers may include thermal masses conditioned to temperatures above and/or below a target temperature. Example thermal masses may include plates including phase change materials, such as eutectic materials. One or more fans and flapper valves may be selectively operated to circulate air in the cargo container across one or more of the thermal masses to maintain the temperature within the cargo container within a prescribed temperature band. Some example temperature controlled cargo containers may include refrigeration units and/or heaters for regenerating the thermal masses when receiving power from an external power source and/or may include one or more rechargeable batteries for providing power during transport or storage independent of external power sources.

  • Patent number: 8966443
    Abstract: A method of bypassing an AUTOSAR software component of an AUTOSAR software system including two or more AUTOSAR software components connected via a runtime environment (RTE). To get a high flexibility and a close relationship to the AUTOSAR model of development an custom AUTOSAR software component is used to bypass all or part of the functionality of a selected AUTOSAR software component and provide that functionality to another AUTOSAR software component candidate or on some external system.

  • Patent number: 8090734
    Abstract: An improved data handling system is disclosed that facilitates the collection, storage and distribution of information for use by one or more recipient performing a process such as assessing the risk associated with a transaction. A system for handling information includes an administrator for facilitating communication with a subscriber and an information acquisition engine that is for facilitating communication with one or more provider of information and an information assimilator that is for facilitating communication with a database. The system is configured to facilitate receiving a request from the subscriber defining one or more set of information and one or more provider of information to be received by the information acquisition engine and combined by the information assimilator into an information suite to be stored in a database.
