Now O’Leary and his team had something real to work with. They started with 16 loaders, setting a goal of 17% idle time over a two-month benchmarking period. They actually got it down to roughly 11%, effectively slicing idle time in half. They also looked at working fuel burn. The average during the 13-month testing period was 2.9 gallons per hour. They set a goal of 2.50 and got it down to 2.55; a narrow miss but still an impressive 12% reduction.

Three Mason City police chiefs have been in office since then. After the late Jack Schlieper, Dave Ellingson took over. Today, Mike Lashbrook is the chief. Lead investigators have come and gone.

“That behavior can be terrorizing and can cause concern,” said Sgt. Heath Osberg, with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

We can look to the police’s actions to determine whether they believed that their action was in violation of the law. That the police chose to cover up the fact the GPS was already planted suggests that they knew this was wrong. Had they chosen to be fully above board, told the judge that the GPS was planted on the car as a matter of exigency, and demonstrated to the judge that should the warrant be denied that they had a means to remotely and permanently deactivate the GPS (no fair using the GPS to find the GPS), then all could be forgiven.

The GPS array has been up and running in some form ever since. In 2009, as Fricker and Tulaczyk’s initial project was winding down, it was inherited into the Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling (WISSARD) project, and expanded to 23 stations.

Mazda sales sprinted up to becoming the fourth biggest Japanese automaker, shooting past other smaller makes like Mitsubishi and Suzuki to rest only behind Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. Profits rose to levels that are hard to believe today. In a Japanese Motor Business news briefing from March 1989 detailing that Mazda was using Japan’s first private comms satellite to set up an information network among its dealers, the trade journal also reported a pre-tax profit of 31.2 billion yen, “a gain of 208 percent compared with the previous year.” Net profit was up a ludicrous 241.5 percent, with increased domestic sales first to thank. As Japan’s economy grew, domestic new car demand exploded as well. A new, empowered class of Japanese buyer wanted luxury and sports cars, and automakers were happy to deliver.

Edward Kulperger, VP Europe, revealed interesting findings from a recently conducted study in the UK. Key takeaway? With CO2 emissions, gridlock and fuel cost increasing, nobody doubts that electrification is the only way forward. In fact, 89 percent of fleets intend to go electric ahead of the government’s 2030 goal.

Diving into AI was Mike Branch, Vice President, Data & Analytics at Geotab. He explained how Google Duplex can be of added value to Geotab, especially in a concept called Smart City Insight. Sensor Data combined with ‘BigQuery’ and AI allows you to predict dangerous driving, hyper local weather down to 500 ft, vehicle movement and traffic patterns.

When I got back to the ramp, I ran into Capt. Kirk Waltz. He had just wrapped up an even better day with a few clients, who caught 22 sheepshead and some nice redfish, too.

Once it has gathered all of this information and determined the mode of transportation you’re currently taking, it can then begin to narrow down where you are. For flights, four algorithms begin to estimate the target’s location and narrows down the possibilities until its error rate hits zero.
