| 20090099897 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING MOBILE ASSET WORKLOAD - A system for managing a fleet of mobile assets is disclosed. The system comprises vehicle asset communicators coupled to mobile assets/vehicles, local monitors in wireless communication with the communicators, and a controller in communication with the communicators. The controller comprising logic configured to receive work requests to be completed by the fleet and heuristically determine which mobile asset/vehicle to assign each work request to. The controller can receive real-time operational information related to the fleet to assist in the determination of which mobile asset/vehicle is best suited to complete the work request. The communicators enable the operators of the mobile assets/vehicles to accept or decline the work request, and to cancel the work request after acceptance or report to the system that the work request has been completed. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20100194604 | MOBILE PORTAL FOR RFID APPLICATIONS - A mobile portal for RFID applications includes an RFID reader for reading identifications of proximately located RFID tagged items in the environment. A communicator is coupled to the RFID reader to receive the read identifications and then communicate the received read identifications over the wireless interface, through one of the gateways, to the central data processing system. Each mobile portal may be actuated for RFID read operations in response to information sensed concerning operation of the mobile asset/vehicle. Additionally, the central data processing system may issue instructions concerning mobile asset/vehicle operation, with those instructions communicated over the wireless interface to the mobile portal. Responsive to implementation of those instructions, the mobile portal actuates the RFID reader and compares the read identifications to identifications of certain RFID tagged items to be manipulated which were identified in the received instruction. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20100200719 | ADJUSTABLE CABLE-CONCEALING UNIVERSAL MOUNTS - A mounting apparatus for mounting a device, preferably to a surface of a vehicle. In an exemplary embodiment, the mounting apparatus may comprise a base, a first intermediate component, a second intermediate component, and an adapter. The first intermediate component may be engageable to the base in at least two positions relative to the base. The second intermediate component may be engageable to the first intermediate component in at least two positions relative to the first intermediate component. The adapter may be engageable to the second intermediate component in at least two positions relative to the second intermediate component. The adapter may also be engageable to the device. The first intermediate component, the second intermediate component, and the adapter may be adjustable to position the device in a plurality of predetermined positions relative to the base, and may also be configured to receive a wire. | 08-12-2010 |
