Abstract: This disclosure describes embodiments of systems and methods for performing inspections of an asset. The systems can include an inspection apparatus that executes a menu directed inspection (MDI) protocol to direct an inspector that performs the inspection. The MDI protocol includes, in one example, reference material that is associated with areas of the asset that the inspector will inspect. This reference material can include data and information (e.g., technical manuals, operating manuals, images, etc.). In one embodiment, the method includes one or more steps for building an inspection tree with inspection points that correspond to the inspection areas on the asset. The method can also comprise steps for assigning or associating the reference material to inspection points, which is then available to the inspector on the inspection apparatus during execution of the MDI protocol.

Abstract: A mobile device with a graphical user interface for remotely monitoring and/or remotely interacting with a configurable building automation systems (BAS). In particular, the mobile device receives status data from the BAS, the graphical user interface displays the status data on the mobile device, and the graphical user interface allows a user to monitor any of the areas, including devices, associated with the BAS.

Abstract: A mobile device with a graphical user interface (GUI) for remotely monitoring and/or remotely interacting with a configurable building automation systems (BAS). In particular, the mobile device receives status data from the BAS, the GUI displays the status data on the mobile device, and the GUI allows a user to interact with the BAS.

Abstract: A mobile device with a graphical user interface for remotely monitoring and/or remotely interacting with a configurable building automation systems (BAS). In particular, the mobile device's graphical user interface that has a portrait mode and a landscape mode, and the graphical user interface is displayed on the touchscreen in the portrait mode or the landscape mode based on the orientation of the mobile device.

Abstract: A mobile device with a graphical user interface for remotely monitoring and/or remotely interacting with a configurable building automation systems (BAS). In particular, the mobile device receives operation schedule data of the BAS from the BAS, the graphical user interface displays the operation schedule data on the mobile device, and the graphical user interface allows a user to monitor the operation schedule of the BAS.

Abstract: A mobile device with a graphical user interface for remotely monitoring and/or remotely interacting with a configurable building automation systems (BAS). In particular, the mobile device's graphical user interface includes a screen portion and a navigation bar portion, wherein the navigation bar portion has plurality of icons, and each of the icons being associated with an interactive screen that can be displayed in the screen portion, one at a time.

Abstract: A mobile device with a graphical user interface (GUI) for remotely detecting and/or connecting to a configurable building automation systems (BAS). In particular, GUI of the mobile device provides a user to connect quickly to a detected and/or known BAS, for monitoring and/or interacting with the BAS.

Abstract: A cat litter box has a solid bottom, vertical sides and a top with an opening to admit a cat. The height of the vertical sides is such that a cat can reach the top with its forepaws by standing on its hindlegs. The box is low enough that a cat would have easy access to the box, yet is deep enough to prevent the escape of litter or excreta from the box during use by a cat.
