Abstract: Techniques for notifying a driver of locations at which the driver can stop to comply with hours of service (HOS) rules are provided. In some examples, a navigation application compares the amount of time a driver has driven a vehicle to HOS rules to determine the remaining time the driver may drive before violating the rules, and identifies potential rest stops reachable within the remaining time and displays the rest stops to the driver. In some examples, the navigation application predicts an amount of time it will take a driver to drive a generated route and compares the predicted time to HOS rules to determine a number or frequency of rest stops needed for the driver to comply. Based on the number or frequency of rest stops, the navigation application identifies potential rest stops near the route and displays the rest stops to the driver without altering the route.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of one step ion exchange for functionalization thin glasses by strengthening and controlling the optical properties. Owing to controllable optical transmittance and absorbance properties, these thin glasses can be utilized as solar control glasses. A paste containing potassium compound and silver compound was applied to the glass substrate containing an alkali metal component by screen printing, thereafter ion exchange heat treatment was performed below glass transition temperature. The method of the invention can produce a glass with surface compressive stress between 550 and 600 MPa, compressive stress layer in the range of 10-15 ?m. In the antimicrobial activity test, the amount of alive E. coli bacteria decreased ?99.9% after 24 hours of contact time.

Abstract: Asset management systems and methods are provided that may include a telematics device communicatively coupled to an asset. The telematics device may be configured to receive asset data, asset location data, and asset time data. The systems and methods may also include a sensor device configured to receive sensor data, sensor location data, and sensor time data. The systems and methods may further include a remote device communicatively coupled to the telematics device and the sensor device. The remote device may be configured to receive the asset data, the asset location data, the asset time data from the telematics device. The remote device may be configured to receive the sensor data, the sensor location data, and the sensor time data from the sensor device independent from the telematics device. The remote device may be configured to correlate the asset data with the sensor data based on the asset location data, the asset time data, the sensor location data, and the sensor time data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a subject in a sleep or resting state are provided herein. The methods can include obtaining signals from at least one of one or more microphones, one or more pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensors and one or more accelerometer sensors. The obtained signals can be automatically transmitted to a processor. Thereafter, using the processor, one or more patterns in the obtained signals can be detected to determine one or more physiological and/or biological parameters including at least one of heart rate, breathing rate, wheezing, sleep quality and/or sleep architecture. Outputs of the determined parameters may be generated upon crossing preset thresholds.

Abstract: A device and method is described for electronic human prosthetics, and specifically a skull- and/or spine implantable bi-directional neural-communication/brain-machine interface (BBMI) device where the input, output and on-board computing are combined into a single unit to form a compact neuro-prosthetics device. This invention is also directed to a fully implantable wireless spinal electronic recording and stimulation system using the BBMI in a human. The bi-directional devices (BBMIs) communicate with other bi-directional brain-machine interface devices (BBMI) and/or with external controllers wirelessly. The compact implantable stimulator has ultrasonic secondary battery charging system. One or more BBMI can be wirelessly connected so that a closed loop of BBMIs, or a BBMI and an external controller, can wirelessly send trigger pulses to this fully implanted stimulator over the spinal cord.
