Abstract: A cushioned device configured to prevent an occupant of a vehicle from being left unattended. The device includes a cushioned pad with a pressure sensor, a dongle, and an optimal application for receiving a pressure signal detected by the cushioned device. The application and dongle capable of generating an audible noise and associated notifications when a predetermined distance between the cushioned portion and the dongle and/or application is too great indicating that the object on the cushioned pad is now unattended. Accordingly, this system utilizes the proximity of companion devices and detected pressure signal to determine unattended occupancy in a confined space.

Abstract: A remote access device is disclosed for capturing, digitizing and communicating video signals from a host computer to a remote computer. The remote computer returns keyboard and mouse signals through the remote access device to the host computer to control the host computer as though the remote keyboard and mouse were directly connected to the host computer. The remote access device includes a circuit module interface for the host computer that allows the remote access device to operate independently of any operating system characteristics associated with the host computer.

Abstract: A field effect transistor and a method for making the same. In one embodiment, the field effect transistor comprises a source; a drain; a gate; at least one carbon nanotube on the gate; and a dielectric layer that coats the gate and a portion of the at least one carbon nanotube, wherein the at least one carbon nanotube has an exposed portion that is not coated with the dielectric layer, and wherein the exposed portion is functionalized with at least one indicator molecule.

Abstract: A keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switching protocol is disclosed in which KVM information is applied to a network of workstations. At least one data converter communicates on the workstation network and retrieves KVM information from the workstation network that is addressed to a server assigned to the converter. The converter places the KVM information in a format suitable to the assigned server and applies the converted KVM information to the appropriate standard device ports of the server. The system provides motherboard access to the servers that is characteristics of KVM switches but provides essentially unlimited scalability not known in traditional KVM switches.
