Distributed data processing systems for processing remotely captured sensor data
Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing remotely captured sensor data. A computing platform having at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory may receive, via the communication interface, from a user computing device, sensor data captured by the user computing device using one or more sensors built into the user computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may analyze the sensor data received from the user computing device by executing one or more data processing modules. Then, the computing platform may generate trip record data based on analyzing the sensor data received from the user computing device and may store the trip record data in a trip record database. In addition, the computing platform may generate user record data based on analyzing the sensor data received from the user computing device and may store the user record data in a user record database.

AIR MEASURING DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE
A handheld or mountable air measuring device includes a sensor assembly with sensors that measure airspeed simultaneously in two directions that are perpendicular to each other. The device includes a data protocol conversion board allowing the communication between the sensor assembly and a smart device included with or associated with the device. The smart device receives the airspeed data. The smart device includes a user interface that includes a map or layout of the environment within which the device is used. The data is displayed on the smart device on the map. The data can be processed locally or transmitted to a remote location for processing. One or more dashboards are generated from the data and accessible by the smart device or another computing device.
Device for displaying in response to a sensed motion
A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

SYSTEM AND METHOD TO INCREASE DISPLAY AREA UTILIZING A PLURALITY OF DISCRETE DISPLAYS
A method includes receiving, at a master agent, announcements from candidate consumer agents indicating the presence of the candidate consumer agents. Each announcement includes display parameters for a display of the corresponding candidate consumer agent. The method further includes receiving at the master agent content parameters from a producer agent, the content parameters defining characteristics of content to be provided by the consumer agent. A mosaic screen is configured based on the received announcements and the content parameters. This configuring of the mosaic screen includes selecting ones of the consumer agents for which an announcement was received and generating content distribution parameters based on the content parameters and the display parameters of the selected ones of the consumer agents. The generated content distribution parameters are provided to the consumer agent.

Modular aerodynamic system
A modular aerodynamic system for a vehicle includes multiple nozzles that generate airsheets. The airflow from the nozzles may be controlled separately. Thus, the nozzles collectively enable granular control of the overall air velocity profile around (e.g., behind) the vehicle. The airsheet configuration may allow the system to control the wake behind the vehicle for various purposes, such as drag reduction, stabilization, and/or breaking. The overall air velocity profile may increase the back pressure of the vehicle, reducing energy consumption. The system may also move the center of pressure and changing the dynamic response of the vehicle to other external forces. These changes may be implemented dynamically in response to aerodynamic/dynamic changes.
