Methods and apparatus for monitoring remotely located objects with a system comprised of at least one master data collection unit, any number of remote sensor units, and a central data collection server are described. The master unit is configured to monitor any object, mobile or stationary, including monitoring multiple remote sensor units associated with the objects being monitored. The master unit may be in a fixed location, or attached to a mobile object. The master unit is configured for monitoring objects that enter and leave the area where it is located. The master unit may act as a parent controller for one or more child devices, wherein the child devices can be remote sensors or monitors of various measurable conditions including environmental conditions, substance identification, product identification and biometric identification.

A data image management system (DIMS) that includes a local data image manager (LDIM), a remote data image manager (RDIM), and a remote persistent storage device (RPSD). The LDIM communicates with the RDIM through a direct communication link or through a communication network. The RDIM can store data on and retrieve data from the RPSD. In an environment where an LDIM has been installed in a computer having a "local" persistent storage device (LPSD), the DIMS allows for the storing of the LPSD's data image on the RPSD, with the LPSD serving as a persistent, consistent cache of the data image. The data image stored on the RPSD is referred to as the "master data image" and the data image cached on the LPSD is referred to as the "local data image" or "cached data image." The LDIM functions to intercept read/write requests that are intended to be received by the LPSD. The read/write requests specify an address of the LPSD. Upon intercepting a read request, the LDIM is programmed to determine whether the portion of the cached data image that is stored at the specified address is up-to-date. If it is up-to-date, the LDIM retrieves the requested data from the LPSD and passes the data back to the component or device from which it received the request. If it is not up-to-date, the LDIM transmits the read request to the RDIM. Upon receiving the read request, the RDIM locates and reads the requested data from the master data image stored on the RPSD and then transmits the data back to the LDIM.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for pricing an insurance premium based on telematics data. The system includes a communications interface and a business logic processor in communications with the communications interface. The communications interface receives telematics data collected by a telematics acquisition device configured at a dealership for collecting telematics data of a vehicle sold by the dealership. The communications interface also receives vehicle data indicating the make and model of the vehicle sold and vehicle owner data related to the purchaser of the vehicle sold. The business logic processor determines an insurance quote for the purchaser based on the received telematics data, vehicle data, and vehicle owner data. The communications interface transmits the insurance quote for the purchaser of the vehicle. The business logic processor also manages a predetermined incentive that is provided to the purchaser in return for allowing the telematics data acquisition device to collect telematics data.

One disadvantage of the client/server computing model is the client's strong dependence on the server. A system and method are disclosed for enabling a client application to operate offline from the server. For each request, the client application registers a request entry with a scheduler, informing the scheduler of an associated application callback. The scheduler then invokes this application callback when a network connection is available for use, and the client application then sends the request to the server. Error recovery methods are described for requests that are sent to the server but for which no reply is received, and for other error scenarios. Some applications may maintain client-side caches to lookup information independently of the server. Synchronization entries may be registered with the scheduler for keeping the client-side cache in sync with the server-side master data.

A system and method addresses data containers in a clustered storage system. Each instantiation of a volume, or other container set, is associated with a data set identifier (DSID). All instantiations of data that represent a single point in time are associated with a master data set identifier (MSID). A volume location database (VLDB), utilizing a replicated database among the nodes of the cluster, stores a data set data structure containing appropriate mapping information between the MSIDs and DSIDs. Clients of the clustered storage system utilize MSIDs to reference data that is desired to be accessed. When a storage system receives a data access request containing a MSID, the storage system accesses the VLDB to identify an appropriate DSID to which to forward the request. The data access request is then forwarded to the appropriate storage system for processing.

The method and apparatus described herein provides a system for displaying personal information management (PIM) data on a personal digital assistant (PDA). The PIM data may be shared by multiple users and modified at the PDA displaying the data, at another PDA, and/or at a personal computer. When the same data field is changed by more than one device, the system displays the most recent version of the data as the primary data field with a symbol to indicate a subordinate data field is available in memory. By selecting the symbol, the user may swap the primary and subordinate data fields.

A communication system performs bidirectional communication through a same communication path every communication cycle period between a master station and a slave station. From the start of the communication cycle period until an interval period shorter than the communication cycle period elapses, the master station transmits master data represented at a first ratio of first pulse width to the communication cycle period to the slave station. In a remaining period after the interval period in the communication cycle period, the slave station transmits slave data represented at a second ratio of second pulse width to the interval period to the master station.

A self-energized measuring system for determining primary and secondary battery/cell's performance, age, and health by measuring and recording battery/cell's voltage response to a specified load-changing perturbation spot-test event. The cell's voltage response is compared to a synchronously measured voltage signal of a comparator resistor. The relationship between the two voltage signals is analyzed on logarithmic time scale to determine performance parameters such as cell impedance and power and their variation in the time domain. The cell temperature is also measured for impedance and power normalization for 20 centigrade. Results are compared to a previously generated master data tabulation characteristic of a similar, new cell of perfect health condition. The time-domain performance parameters are related to the performance, age and health of the cell at any particular instant. The evaluation method can be easily adjusted to various battery chemistries, types.
