An alert transceiver in commuter vehicles in a line-of-site warning area receive line of sight (LOS) alert signals from another vehicle, such as an emergency vehicle. Upon detecting the LOS alert signal, the alert transceiver can relay the alert signals to other alert transceivers in commuter vehicles within a warning zone that are outside of LOS zone, thereby creating mobile tracking network (MTN). The alert signals can include any relevant information, such as information regarding a hazard that includes the type of hazard (emergency vehicle, fire, ambulance, etc.), the time stamped location, direction of travel, speed and planned route for the emergency vehicle; and/or the coordinates of warning zone as determined by alert transceivers.

Emergency vehicle alert system

An apparatus and a method for using a serial data line to turn on an electrical device are disclosed. Energy is extracted from a data signal on an asynchronous serial data line using a charge pump. The extracted energy is used by a power supply switching circuit to turn power on. Once turned on, power is kept on by a keepalive circuit. A shutdown signal causes the power to be turned off.

The fungus, Rhizopus nigricans, can be used as an insecticide for use in killing ants in the order Hymenoptera. When this fungus is brought into or put into an ant hive, it kills the ants within a few days.
