Title: System and method for aggregate monitoring of user-based groups of private computer networks
Inventor: KULLOS JOSEPH
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2010-12-22
Abstract: A system for aggregate monitoring of private computer networks includes a plurality of monitoring servers for monitoring a plurality of private networks. Each private network has at least one monitoring server configured for monitoring the private network by collecting statuses of devices associated with the private network. A central server is coupled to each of the monitoring servers via a wide area network (WAN) and stores information pertaining to a plurality of users. The information associates each of the users with a group of one or more of the private networks. The central server may receive a request from a remote device via the WAN, determine the group of private networks associated with the requesting user, automatically generate a set of statistics according to only the statuses collected for each private network in the group associated with the requesting user, and send the set of statistics to the remote device.

Title: Controlling operation of an industrial vehicle based on battery weight
Inventor: MCCABE PAUL P
IPC: B60W10/26
Filed: 2011-03-03
Abstract: Operation of an industrial vehicle, such as one that lifts and transports loads, is controlled based on the weight of a removable battery. A control method involves reading a battery weight value from an electronic memory attached to a battery. That battery weight value is compared to a specified battery weight value for the industrial vehicle. The operation of the industrial vehicle is restricted to less than the normal operating characteristics when the battery weight value is less than the specified battery weight value. For example, the height to which a load can be raised is limited or the speed at which the industrial vehicle is limited when a battery installed on the industrial vehicle weighs less than the specified battery weight for effectively counterbalancing a load.
