A device includes a microprocessor and a computer readable medium coupled to the microprocessor. The computer readable medium includes instructions stored thereon that cause the microprocessor to receive output from at least one sensor monitoring an interior space of a vehicle and determine, based on the received output, a condition of an occupant in the interior space of the vehicle. The instructions cause the microprocessor to determine, based on the determined condition of the occupant, to alter a first presentation of information displayed to a display device of the vehicle to a second presentation of the information displayed to the display device. The instructions case the microprocessor to render the second presentation of the information to the display device of the vehicle to replace the first presentation of the information displayed to the display device of the vehicle.

A vehicle is provided that detects a first presence of a driver in a vehicle, based upon detecting the first presence, provides a user interface for the driver to enter first user information, information, and communicates the first sensitive information to a vendor to authenticate the combines the first user information and the vehicle information to generate the first sensitive driver to enable the vendor to perform a financial transaction with the driver using the first sensitive information while the vehicle is in motion. The processor is programmed to initiate automatically, on behalf of the driver, the financial transaction with the vendor in response to a sensed state or location of the vehicle.

A mechanical-electrical drive for a conveying element which can be operated in a power network with an AC voltage of between 350 volts [V] and 450 volts [V]. The mechanical-electrical drive has an electrical drive motor with a motor shaft and a drive wheel, coupled to the motor shaft in positive and/or negative fit, and a control and regulating unit for the electrical drive motor. The electrical drive motor and the drive wheel can be positioned on a conveying vehicle. It is intended that the mechanical-electrical drive should be capable of integration into existing AC power systems, with lower weight and smaller dimensions have a better degree of efficiency, and at the same time also have a lower maintenance requirement. For this purpose the electrical drive motor, which includes a housing, is configured as a brushless permanent magnet synchronous motor, wherein the drive wheel is coupled free of transmission to the motor shaft.

A vehicle, based on user preferences and while the vehicle is in motion: in response to identification of a first event (e.g., a third party resident being in a vehicle location and/or on the route of the vehicle) and based on the user preferences, determines that the user desires to perform a transaction with the third party, automatically sends a first communication to the third party for the user (the first communication being part of a secure session and enabling authentication of the user by the third party), at a second later time and while the vehicle is in motion, and in response to identification of a second event, automatically sends a different second communication to the third party. The second communication is part of the secure session and enables the third party to complete the transaction with the user.

Provided is a first coil device that faces a second coil device in a facing direction, and wirelessly transmits or receives power, the first coil device including a first coil portion, and a first auxiliary magnetic member provided adjacent to the first coil portion in a first direction orthogonal to the facing direction. The first auxiliary magnetic member is configured to be closer to the second coil device with increasing distance in the first direction from the first coil portion.

A vehicle is provided that determines a need for communication with a third party vendor, retrieves the user rule from the memory (the user rule defining to which third party vendor the vehicle can send a first communication to address the need and defining a geographic location of the third party vendor relative to a current location of the vehicle, a monetary amount the vehicle can pay to a third party vendor for a product or service to address the need, and a time limit for the third party vendor to provide the product or service to address the need), based on the user rule, selects a third party vendor from among multiple possible third party vendors, and when determined by the user rule, automatically sends the first communication to the selected third party vendor to order the product or service and provides an authorization to the selected third party vendor to complete the order. The vehicle uses different communication protocols to provide the first communication and authorization to the selected third party vendor.

A carrier for one or several electrically conductive tracks of a ground electric feeding system for a motor vehicle in the form of a strip of electrically insulating elastomeric material, comprising a substantially planar electric feeding surface of the land vehicle, provided with one or several longitudinal grooves, each groove being intended to receive a conductive track, and a surface for securing to a roadway, opposite the electric feeding surface. The carrier has a rectangular cross-section and the electric feeding surface and the securing surface form the long sides of said rectangle.

The article transport vehicle travels with its wheel rolling on the travel surface provided on the upper surface of the travel rail. The travel rail has a peripheral wall that includes a surface on which the travel surface is formed, and an internal space that is enclosed by the peripheral wall, and extends along the travel path. The travel surface has a through hole that passes through the peripheral wall, and brings the internal space into communication with an external space. The travel rail is provided with a suction device that is in communication with the internal space, and is configured to suck air in the internal space. The internal space is closed except for the through hole, and a connection portion for the suction device.
