A snow burial mask of the present disclosure comprises a burial sensor module, a processing unit, and a location tracker. The burial sensor module is configured to measure at least one indication of a snow burial. The location tracker is connected to an external device to receive a first location data and the processing unit. The processing unit is connected to the burial sensor module and configured to determine whether the snow burial has occurred based on measurements of the burial sensor module. The location tracker sends out the location data if the processing unit determines the snow burial has occurred.

A system and method for rescuing a person buried alive, the system including a life sensor disposed inside a burial space for detecting presence of a living human person in the burial space, an oxygen container having an outlet into the burial space, an alarm to be activated upon detecting by the life sensor a living person, and a control unit adapted to perform, upon detection of human living by the life sensor, one or more of enabling the oxygen container to release oxygen into the burial space, and activating the alarm.

An airbag compartment enclosure assembly is disclosed, including a compartment containing an uninflated airbag and a closure device fixed proximate an opening of the compartment. The closure device has an open position allowing expansion of the airbag through the opening and a closed position retaining the uninflated airbag. The closure device includes a first flap extending from a first edge of the opening and a second flap extending from a second, opposing edge of the opening. The first and second flaps are folded over one another in the closed position.

A platform-agnostic buoyancy aid includes a bladder having a direction of inflation, an inflator coupled to the bladder and configured to fill the bladder with a gas in response to actuation by a trigger, a trigger connected to the inflator and configured to actuate the inflator in response to a tension applied to a ripcord, and a removable directional attachment rig holding the bladder, inflator and trigger, the removable directional attachment rig configured to attach the buoyancy aid to at least one of a wearer's backpack, clothing or harness such that the relative angle of the direction of inflation of the bladder to the wearer's centerline remains substantially constant.

A system and method for optimizing a rescue operation of an individual. The method comprises maintaining, by an individual engaged in an activity, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) associated with and in proximity to the individual. For storage at the UAV, the individual records at a recording device a message. A sensor device is configured to detect a situation requiring a need to rescue the individual at a current location, and generates a trigger signal in response to a detection. In response to the receipt of the trigger signal, a current GPS location of the individual is recorded and a launching of the UAV to traverse a flight-path to a destination location. At or before arriving at the destination location, the UAV contemporaneously provides the stored recorded message and current GPS location of the individual to an emergency response authority to inform of the individual's situation and location.

Systems and methods for detecting biometrics using a life detecting radar are disclosed. Life detecting radars can include transmit antennas configured to transmit continuous microwave (CW) radio signals that reflect back upon making contact with various objects. The signal can be systematically varied in frequency to provide a signal that is essentially continuous with short gaps between transmissions at different frequencies. The reflected return signals are received by one or more receive antennas and processed to detect one or more targets. The received signal can include a static (i.e. constant phase) signal corresponding to reflections from objects that do not move. The received signal can also include a phase varying signal that corresponds to reflections from a living target having measurable biometrics including (but not limited to) breathing patterns and heartbeats. Clutter can be removed and the remaining portions of the received signal are analyzed for target detection.

A device (1) for inflating an inflatable bag. The device comprises a first opening (11) which allows intake of atmospheric air, a second opening (12) connected or connectable to the inflatable bag, at least a first moveable inflation member (13), preferably an impeller, being arranged between the first opening (11) and the second opening (12), a motor (31) for driving the moveable inflation member (13) and a power source for energizing the motor (31). The power source comprises at least one capacitor (21) as a power supply for the motor (31).
