Abstract: A method for monitoring impairment indicators, the method includes measuring, with a movement sensor attached to the person, a first signal related to movement of a person during a first time window and electronically storing the at least one numerical descriptor derived from the first signal as reference data for the person. The method further includes measuring, with the movement sensor attached to the person, a second signal related to movement of the person during a second time window and comparing at least one numerical descriptor derived from the second signal to the reference data as a factor to identify an impairment indicator. The present disclosure also includes a device for monitoring impairment indicators.

Abstract: A collapsible material carrier rack is described that fits within a pickup truck bed when stowed. A novel use of a three-dimensional mechanism, the Sarrus (or alternate) linkage allows for one-step deployment and stowage of the rack, with the rack top confined to a straight vertical path and other members confined to specific paths. A preferred embodiment is disclosed that moves using a manual crank or a powered rotary driver with removeable pins to lock the rack in the deployed position. The top of the rack retains its shape and remains horizontal during movement, allowing movement while carrying a load. A sliding and repositionable extension of the rack is provided to extend over the truck cab or behind the truck bed. The rack may be fitted with a top surface to present a tonneau cover when stowed. Outsides of the deployed rack may be covered to provide a shelter.
