Abstract: Road maintenance activities are subject to data analytics. Data regarding a road can be received from a variety of sources including vehicle mounted sensors and network accessible services. A road treatment recommendation, such as plowing or treatment material distribution, can be automatically determined or inferred based on received data. The treatment recommendation can be conveyed to a service center or driver to facilitate road maintenance.

Abstract: Described herein are delivery devices and methods for deploying expandable implants into elongate tubular organs. The delivery devices may be configured to advance implants such as self-expanding springs within the tubular organ and release the springs at a target location where they expand and apply force to the wall of the tubular organ to lengthen the tubular organ. Delivery of the expandable implants for the treatment of small bowel syndrome is also described.

Abstract: Infrared (IR) temperature measurement and stabilization systems, and methods related thereto are provided. The innovation actively stabilizes temperatures of objects in proximity and within the path between an infrared (IR) sensor and target object. A temperature monitor and controller are employed to regulate power to resistive temperature devices (RTDs) thereby regulating current (and power) to the RTDs. As a result, temperatures of IR visible objects can be actively stabilized for changes, for example, changes in ambient temperatures, resulting in efficient and accurate temperature readings.

Abstract: Systems and methods can discover and present to a user road conditions. A client can include sensors to measure local road conditions. Local road conditions can be measured by a sensor and reported to a server. The server can aggregate road condition information at least by location and time, and return the aggregated information to clients to facilitate presentation of road conditions not discovered locally. Information regarding road conditions at given times and locations can facilitate road maintenance coordination and route planning.

Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate calibrated temperature measurements are discussed. Such a system can include a target object that changes temperature, a test infrared (IR) temperature sensor that can make a first set of measurements of the temperature of the target object over a period of time, and a standard IR temperature sensor that can make a second set of measurements of the temperature of the target object over the period of time. Additionally, the system can include a calibration unit that compares the first set of measurements with the second set of measurements and determines an accuracy of the test IR temperature sensor based on the comparison.
