A vehicular monitoring system is configured to acquire GPS position data and vehicular operating data, write the data to a file, and detect and utilize public wireless communication (e. g. , 802. 11x/WiFi) Internet access points to communicate the file containing the acquired GPS position data and vehicular operating data to a remote computer. Compressed diagnostic data sets and reduced latency wireless transmissions are utilized to facilitate communication.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for applying markings, particularly to springs, that are clean (ink in self contained storage units), allows quick color changes and reduces wasted ink or paint. An application means that does not dry out during short down time periods, keeps up with production rates, and is cost effective.

An electronically controlled marking system is provided to impart an ink spot to a stationary or moving target. The system includes an electronic control module connected to a high-pressure gas valve to control the passage of high-pressure gas to an ink spot maker, the electronic control module also being connected to a low-pressure gas valve to control the passage of low-pressure gas to the ink spot marker. Following the initiation of an ink spot marking cycle, low-pressure gas is applied to atomize ink within the ink spot marker; high-pressure gas is applied to force open a valve within the ink spot marker, thereby allowing ink to be ejected by the low-pressure gas toward the target; the high-pressure gas is removed to terminate the ejection of ink from the output nozzle, the low-pressure gas still being applied to force any remaining ink from the output nozzle; and the low-pressure gas is removed. Provision is also made for pulsing the high-pressure gas applied to the ink spot marker during the period that ink is being ejected to provide pulsed ink ejection.
