Paul Allen and Bill Gates founded Microsoft in 1975 to develop software for personal computers. They obtained early success by developing the programming language BASIC for the Altair computer. Microsoft later provided the operating system MS-DOS for IBM's first personal computer, the IBM PC, which became very successful. As a result, Microsoft's sales and profits greatly increased, allowing it to become the dominant provider of operating systems and business software.
US20150226568 illustrates a navigation system for providing road guidance using the augmented reality head-up display (HUD). The system provides the route information as a virtual preceding vehicle on a front glass of a vehicle using the HUD technology. The virtual preceding vehicle represents various direction information and traffic information. The virtual preceding vehicle is driven in front of the vehicle by a reference distance that is adjusted based on the speed of the vehicle. The virtual preceding vehicle displays a turn signal lamp of the virtual preceding vehicle at different flickering periods based on a remaining distance from a current position to left and right turn points. The virtual preceding vehicle guides the driver's vehicle up to the preset destination in connection with a position of the vehicle. Thus, the system allows the driver to arrive at a preset destination while viewing the movement of a virtual preceding vehicle.

Three Lanarkshire schools will have police officers stationed on campus starting next year as part of a initiative to combat youth crime. The campus police officers will work closely with teachers and students to promote a positive view of police and divert youth from potential criminal behavior. They will have private offices in Coatbridge High School, St. Andrew's High School, and Clyde Valley High School. Officials hope this 3-year pilot program will improve support for students and reduce juvenile crime levels. Additionally, two new primary schools, Wishaw Academy Primary and St. Ignatius Primary, opened in Wishaw with officials believing the new facilities will improve learning opportunities.
The document discusses M2M and D2D communication technologies which are key enablers for IoT applications. It analyzed over 4000 patent applications related to M2M and D2D communication and identified over 850 and 450 patents essential for M2M and D2D, respectively. LG led in both M2M and combined M2M+D2D essential patents, followed by Ericsson, Samsung, Qualcomm, Nokia and others. The document provides rankings of top assignees for M2M, D2D and combined M2M+D2D essential patents for IoT communications.
The Aiguille du Midi is a 3,842m mountain in the French Alps. An aerial cable car, built in 1955, transports visitors from Chamonix at 1,035m to the summit at 3,842m in 20 minutes, making it the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world. The summit offers panoramic views, a cafe, and shop, and is the starting point for hiking routes and ski runs in the Mont Blanc Massif.
Many automotive, high tech, and telecom business leaders are now competing in the IoT (Internet of Things) connected car market by providing and developing innovative products/services. For example, Toyota created new department to unify its connected car technologies. Verizon launched ThingSpace IoT platform to simplify the development and deployment of the IoT connected car applications. Samsung, partners with leaders across industries, is going to offer the connected car solution. Patent information can provide insights regarding the state of the art of the IoT innovations for the connected car applications such as Accident Avoidance System, Control Automation (e.g., Autonomous Vehicle), Infotainment, Maintenance/Diagnostic/Alert, and Navigation System and Vehicular Communication System (e.g., V2V, V2I, V2X using DSRC or LTE). Thus, one can identify the potential further innovation R&D areas (“white space”) that can lead to new products/services development through the patent analysis.

US20150326462 illustrates a LTE-based vehicular communication system connecting a base station and vehicles equipped with mobile communication devices. The LTE-based vehicular communication system coordinates packet transmissions of vehicles to improve road safety and traffic efficiency: vehicles to exchange information among each other to support various applications such as collision avoidance or cooperative adaptive cruise control. The LTE-based vehicular communication system enables vehicles communicate with roadside infrastructures to attain useful information such as roadwork warning, weather warning, or information about available parking in a city
This document contains notes from a 7th grade math class covering topics like subtracting integers, multiplying integers, and solving algebraic equations. Key points covered include: when subtracting integers, you add the opposite; when multiplying integers with the same sign the product is positive, and with different signs the product is negative; and to solve equations, you perform the same operation to both sides until the variable is isolated on one side.
This document outlines Dr. Mark Hines' crash course on designing meaningful projects using deeper learning practices. It defines deeper learning as practices like inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, and community-based learning that develop skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and self-directed learning. The document then discusses strategies for helping teachers design better projects, including identifying big ideas and essential questions, mapping milestones and resources, and providing public audiences. Resources on deeper learning practices are provided, along with a reminder that an evaluation of the crash course is available in the conference app.

Scala can be used for automation scripts for small businesses, though it has some drawbacks for scripting like slow compilation and JVM overhead. The Scala REPL is useful for testing scripts. A recommended approach is to create a bot that trained colleagues can message commands to, which then runs scripts safely, avoiding the downsides of direct access. Libraries like Rapture IO, Dispatch, and Smack can help with common tasks like file access and messaging.

The document summarizes a study that investigates the risk and return of using a simple moving average (SMA) timing model across various markets compared to a buy-and-hold strategy. The study tested different SMA periods from 4 to 52 weeks on developed markets, emerging markets, and both combined. It found that an 8-week SMA period performed best overall based on annualized return, drawdown, and Sharpe ratio. However, 3 developed markets (Switzerland, US, UK) underperformed this model but performed best with longer 52-week SMA periods. The 8-week model outperformed buy-and-hold on average due to higher average profits compared to losses and lower drawdowns.
