Abstract: A value is assigned to a rate threshold for adding child nodes to a distinct parent node in a tree data structure. A first datum comprising a first variable assigned a first value and a second variable assigned a first value is added to the tree at a first timestamp, by adding to the first level in the tree a first parent node representing the first variable assigned the first value and adding to the second level in the tree a first child node representing the second variable assigned the first value and connected by a first directed edge from the first parent node. A second datum comprising the first variable assigned the first value and the second variable assigned a second value is received at a second timestamp. The method blocks adding to the second level in the tree a second child node representing the second variable assigned the second value and connected by a second directed edge from the first parent node when a rate based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp exceeds the rate threshold.

Abstract: A method of detecting an intrusion includes sending an activation command to an intrusion detection system. In response to the activation command, at least one camera is activated. At least one image is obtained from the at least one camera representative of a surrounding area of the at least one camera. The at least one image is analyzed to determine if the intrusion is detected. An operator is then notified of the presence or absence of the intrusion.

Abstract: A telescoping trailer comprises an outer tube frame and at least one inner tube frame. The outer tube frame defines a void space and at least one inner tube frame is constructed and arranged to fit within the void space and slidingly engage the outer tube frame. The trailer has a sliding position and a secured position wherein in the sliding position an inner tube frame slidingly engages the outer tube frame and in the secured position a securing wall of the inner tube frame is secured against a securing wall of the outer tube frame such that the securing walls of the at least one inner tube frame and the outer tube frame are substantially parallel. The portion of the inner tube frame within the outer tube frame while in the secured position defines an over-lap area.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a direct start engine, an automatic transmission having a threshold fluid pressure sufficient for enabling operation of the transmission when the engine is off, a controller, and a fuel delivery system. The controller determines the presence of predetermined engine states, and optimizes a stop-and-go functionality of the engine. The fuel delivery system includes a motor and an integrated pump assembly having a secondary high-pressure (HP) fuel pump which is selectively connectable to a rotatable shaft of the motor, and a secondary low-pressure (LP) fluid pump which is continuously connected to the shaft. The motor continuously energizes the secondary LP fluid pump via the rotatable shaft to thereby maintain the threshold fluid pressure during a first or second engine state, and selectively energizes the secondary HP fuel pump via the rotatable shaft to maintain the threshold fuel pressure during the second engine state.
