  • Publication number: 20240095761
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, alert responsiveness data indicating how responsive a driver is to one or more types of vehicle alerts is received. The method also includes generating or modifying a driver profile associated with the driver, the driver profile including alert responsiveness profile information based upon the alert responsiveness data, and identifying, based at least upon the generated or modified driver profile, a suggested vehicle type. Identifying the suggested vehicle type includes determining that the generated or modified driver profile meets a set of one or more matching criteria associated with the suggested vehicle type at least in part by determining that the alert responsiveness profile information meets one or more criteria indicative of reliability of the suggested vehicle type. The method also includes causing an indication of the suggested vehicle type to be displayed to a user.

  • Patent number: 7171909
    Abstract: An adjustable display rack or stand for displaying products on at least two panels of the display rack. The panels being adjustable about respective generally horizontal pivot axes to adjust an angle or degree of tilt of the panels relative to a base of the display rack. The panels are substantially simultaneously or correspondingly pivoted via an adjustable mechanism and at least one cable connected to the adjustable mechanism and at least one of the panels. The adjustable mechanism may be connected to one of the panels via the cable and may be coupled to one other of the panels, whereby the panels are pivotable via movement of the adjustable mechanism. The adjustable mechanism may comprise a threaded collar that is threadedly coupled to an elongated threaded shaft such that rotation of the shaft causes movement of the collar along the shaft to pivot the panels about their pivot axes.

  • Publication number: 20020120997
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a mop bucket and mop wringer assembly for wringing liquid from a mop wherein the bucket and wringer are readily separable. Also, the mop bucket is designed to collect the dirty washing liquid from an associated mop and allows particulate contaminates to collect in a portion of the bottom wall which is stepped lower than the main bottom wall. The mechanism for operating the wringer includes a rack and pinion which is normally urged into a mop receiving position by an elastomeric spring.
