Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for regulating access to electronic entertainment to incentivize desired behavior. For instance, in one example, the behavior of an individual is monitored through data received from an electronic device. The behavior is compared to a predefined behavioral goal stored in a profile for the individual, and a predefined incentive associated with satisfaction of the predefined behavioral goal by the user is identified. The predefined incentive comprises access to an electronic entertainment medium. An instruction to the electronic entertainment medium is generated to grant access to the individual when it is determined that the individual has satisfied the predefined behavioral goal.

Abstract: An emergency breakaway system having an integral electrical testing system for confirming the functionality of a trailer's electric brake solenoids and electric lights includes housing enclosure having interface screen, a testing battery, and a testing controller. The trailer electrical system testing device is operative to replace a conventional emergency breakaway system, supplying the emergency breakaway functionality while also enabling real time, on demand testing of the trailer's electric brakes and lights. An integrated activation routine causes electricity to be supplied directly to the electric brakes in periodic, on/off intervals, thereby operating the electric brakes intermittently, for a predetermined time period. The activation routine thus allows a user to walk around the trailer and listen for activation of the electric brake solenoids as well as check and verify the functionality of the brake components.

Abstract: A new portable, self-contained device for testing the full cycle of trailer light modes without additional manual actuation by the user and for identifying where and what type of specific error occurred, if any are detected. The inventive device generally comprises a compact portable housing with a fixedly attached handle and a removable housing top. Within the compact portable housing is a self-contained, rechargeable 12 volt power source to power all functionality over a sustained period of time. Also within the compact portable housing is a light mode control means that allows the device to cycle through multiple light modes for testing, and an error detection analysis means that indicates where and what type of fault is detected.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for identifying and resolving port conflicts during application deployment. The port conflicts may be identified based on application documentation and active port information. The port conflicts may be resolved by identifying an available port and providing information about the available port to a conflicting application. The port conflicts may also be resolved by identifying an available IP address and providing a port on the available IP address to a conflicting application. Further, if conflicting applications allow port sharing, the port conflicts may be resolved by providing port sharing information to the conflicting applications.

Abstract: A model train system including a track interface unit for bi-directional communication with one or more trains; and a communication circuit installed in the one or more trains that communicates with the track interface unit in a bi-directional manner, the communication circuit communicating to the track interface unit information regarding a current speed of said one or more trains, the communication circuit being configured so as to be capable of receiving an integrally formed command/power signal and processing the command signal independently of the power signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a model train operating, sound and control system that provides a user with increased operating realism. Disclosed is a novel remote control communication capability between the user and the model trains. This feature is accomplished by using a handheld remote control on which various commands may be entered, and a Track Interface Unit that retrieves and processes the commands. The Track Interface Unit converts the commands to modulated signals (preferably spread spectrum signals) which are sent down the track rails. The model train picks up the modulated signals, retrieves the entered command, and executes it through use of a processor and associated control and driver circuitry. Another novel feature disclosed is a speed control circuit located inside the model train that is capable of continuously monitoring the operating speed of the train and making adjustments to a motor drive circuit.
