Title: Advance notification system for use with vehicular transportation
Inventor: JONES MARTIN KELLY
IPC: G08G9/00
Filed: 1996-10-04
Abstract: An advance notification system and method notifies passengers of the impending arrival of a transportation vehicle, for example, a school bus, at a particular vehicle stop. The system generally includes an on-board vehicle control unit for each vehicle and a base station control unit for making telephone calls to passengers in order to inform the passengers when the vehicle is a certain predefined time period and/or distance away from the vehicle stop. The VCU compares elapsed time and/or traveled distance to the programmed scheduled time and/or traveled distance to determine if the vehicle is on schedule. If the vehicle is behind or ahead of schedule, the VCU calls the BSCU, which then adjusts its calling schedule accordingly. Significantly, a calling report generator in the BSCU allows a system user to solicit a calling report from the BSCU that indicates the time(s) and outcome(s) of any previous notification attempts(s) by the BSCU to the user telephone.

Filed: 2005-07-18
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of specific protein and/or peptide fractions having a high aspartate content for regulating plasma glucose concentrations and increasing insulin sensitivity in a mammal. It has been found that high amounts of aspartate equivalents, especially in relative absence of glutamate equivalents, increase the glucose uptake of peripheral cells and improve the reaction of the liver on dietetic glucose consumption. As a result it has a favourable effect on the blood glucose levels of a person suffering from hyperglycaemia, in particular postprandial and post-surgery hyperglycaemia and/or insulin resistance. The invention relates to a complete food fortified with aspartate equivalents as well as a supplement rich in aspartate equivalents that is given simultaneously with or even minutes up to an hour prior to the consumption of a meal comprising glucose. The nutritional or pharmaceutical composition contains at least one protein having a high aspartate content, preferably of soy or dairy origin, which is further enriched with aspartate equivalents from another protein and/or free aspartate equivalents. The protein fraction comprises glutamate equivalents in a weight ratio of aspartate equivalents to glutamate equivalents (asp:glu) between 0.41:1 and 5:1.
