Abstract: A nomadic device may be configured to connect to a vehicle computing system over a local connection and to an automation service over a wide-area connection, receive a message from the vehicle computing system over the local connection requesting a home automation action to be performed, and responsive to the message, send a command over the wide-area connection to an automation service to request the home automation action. A vehicle controller may be configured to connect to a nomadic device over a local connection, the nomadic device configured to connect to an automation service over a wide-area connection, receive input to a user interface of the vehicle computing system requesting performance of a home automation action of the automation service, and responsive to the input, send a command over the local connection to request the home automation action.

Abstract: A self-contained refrigerant powered system is provided having a motor configured for receiving liquefied refrigerant and converting the liquefied refrigerant into gaseous form for powering the motor; a condenser in fluid communication with the motor for receiving gaseous refrigerant and for converting the gaseous refrigerant to liquefied form; and at least one pipe in fluid communication with the condenser and the motor for returning the liquefied refrigerant to the motor.
