Abstract: A device for storing excess electrical cord length on or near an electrical outlet. The device features one or more protrusions or cleats that extend away from the surface of the outlet cover into a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the plane in which the outlet cover rests. Each protrusion has an attachment portion, a body portion and a flange located at the end or terminus of each protrusion. The flange is shaped to retain electrical cords that are wrapped around the body of the device in that the flange extends away from the terminus of the protrusion into a plane that is substantially parallel to the plane of the outlet cover. Further, the body includes an opening through which a plug can be passed. Alternately, the device could feature two or more protrusions side by side and need not be directly attached to an electrical outlet cover.

Abstract: Methods and systems for intelligent vehicle fleets are disclosed. An intelligent vehicle may function as a mobile office reducing the need for users to perform work functions in a brick-and-mortar building. Methods or systems consistent with the invention may manage vehicle fleets, or provide intelligent vehicle subsystems, or acquire address information using an intelligent vehicle. A method to manage vehicle fleets may include receiving at a remote computer communicated maintenance data from information collection devices installed in the intelligent vehicle.
