Abstract:
Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating automotive work orders. An electronic scanning device can receive identification data corresponding to a user, and a server can associate the identification information with a user's account. The server can retrieve customized data relating to the user's vehicle service history and service preferences. The server can automatically generate a work order to initiate automotive services based on the vehicle service data saved in the user's account.
Abstract:
Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating fuel authorization commands. An electronic scanning device can receive identification data corresponding to a user, and a server can associate the identification information with a user's account. The server can retrieve customized data indicating a specified monetary value of fuel to be purchased by the user. The user can access the account and set a desired monetary value and other customized automotive data. The server can request authorization of the specified monetary value and, if authorization is received, generate and transmit a fuel authorization command to a fuel point of sale terminal to allow the user to dispense fuel.
Abstract:
The present disclosure deals with a method, system and computer readable medium to calculate suggested data, distribute the suggested data over a distributed computing system and update terminals the new suggested data. The application gathers data from shared folders on the central server and calculates the suggested data. The application pushes all the calculated data into a centrally located database. A second application retrieves the calculated data in spreadsheet form. A data is updated according to preferences and stored the in the centrally located database. The second application transmits the suggested data to select computing systems. The computing system updates the terminals with the new suggested data.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments are directed to a needle valve that generally includes a valve seat, a first stem in threaded engagement with a first stem thread, and a second stem in threaded engagement with a second stem thread. Rotation of the first stem advances the first stem and the second stem towards the valve seat by a distance that is equal to a combined thread pitch of the first stem thread and the second stem thread. Engagement of the first and second stems during rotation of the first stem defines a dual thread actuation mechanism.
Abstract:
A convertible garment is presented having an opening and a fabric insert. The opening can be releasably closed to cause the leg regions of the garment to tighten around the leg of a user. The garment may be configured for use in sports activities including bicycling and underwater diving.
Abstract:
A fiber optic cable is presented having a pressure fitting at an end of the cable. The pressure fitting can create a pressure and/or chemical seal to prevent migration of environmental elements into or out of the cable. The fiber optic cable can advantageously be configured for use in varied environments including, for example, one or more of caustic, high-pressure, or low-pressure environments.
Abstract:
A safety automation system for an occupiable structure includes a computing management system including a computer processor, and a computer readable storage medium configured to run embedded software and cloud server software. A fire detection device of the automation system is adapted to detect a fire condition and output an associated fire condition detected signal to the computing management system. A condition deterrence device is configured to accept a wireless command signal from the computing management system associated with the fire condition detected signal and for actuating an appliance to at least reduce risk presented by the condition.
