commercial carrier journal | july 2017 75 Sleep monitoring wearable Avantechs' Sleepman wearable for drivers is designed to optimize and enhance sleep, wake users during the correct sleep phase and prevent dozing while driving. The device is engineered to monitor electromagnetic biosignals from a user's wrist and analyze sleep and activity patterns using electrodermal activity-tracking algorithms. A Doze-Off Alert helps warn drivers at the earliest signs of concentra - tion loss to stop and rest, while the Power Nap function is designed to wake users before they begin a deep sleep. A Bio-Smart Alarm is designed to monitor biosignals and wake users at the optimum sleep stage, and the device's Sleep and Activity Tracking records sleep and activity data and presents it in easy-to-read graphs for review.

The reusable pre-filters are designed to help maintain performance and fuel economy by preventing larger particles of debris such as grain chaff, dirt and sand from get - ting into and clogging the air filter element. They are treated with a hydrophobic water-repellant process that helps keep out rain, ice and snow and can be cleaned easily with soap and water. Both kits are designed to fit over the factory plastic air intake grilles and come with retainer clips to help facilitate a quick and simple installation.
