Abstract: Methods and systems of managing application-to-person text messages include receiving, by an application running on a computing device and providing access to multiple distinct application-linked phone lines, a first text message from a first communication device having a unique phone number. In response to this text message, a first text message thread is generated that includes the first communication device and a first application-linked phone line having a first phone number. The first text message thread provides a text message transfer option selectable by a user of the first communication device. In response to the user of the first communication device interacting with the text message transfer option, the first communication device is transferred to communicate by text messages with a second application-linked phone line having a second phone number that is different from the phone number of the first application-linked phone line.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for monitoring one or more characteristics of a fluid in a mechanical device are disclosed herein. In at least one embodiment, the system includes an optical sensor including an excitation light aperture and an emission light aperture. The excitation light aperture transmits an excitation light to the fluid and the emission light aperture receives an emission light from the fluid. The system may further include an inductive sensor including a printed circuit board including a first field coil trace, a second field coil trace, and a sense coil trace. The methods disclosed include transmitting the excitation light to the fluid; receiving the emission light from the fluid; and operating a processor to obtain one or more fluorescence spectra based on the received emission light; and determine a fluid condition indicator and/or a remaining useful life of the fluid based on the one or more fluorescence spectra.
