AIRBAG COMPARTMENT ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY
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.

Device and method for preventing immediate access to an object
A device for preventing immediate access to an object such as a key to a gun safety lock includes a platform adapted to receive the object. A container receives the platform and object. The container is filled with a fusible liquid such as water, the water is frozen and forms a body around the object. The container may include indicia such as photographs, quick response codes and telephone numbers for suicide prevention hotlines.
TRAVEL AND ORIENTATION MONITOR APPARATUS FOR FIREFIGHTERS AND RESCUE PERSONNEL
An apparatus carried by an individual for aiding in directing the individual to a location of a starting point for a path of travel by the individual includes a sensor for determining the individual's initial orientation at the starting point and subsequent changes of orientations during the travel; a processor coupled to the sensor for assigning one of four orthogonal (Erections to each of the orientations as experienced by the individual; a memory coupled to the processor for saving at least the orthogonal orientation of the initial orientation and the last experienced orientation; and a display for presenting at least the last experienced orientation to permit the individual to subsequently reorient himself in the direct of the original orientation. The apparatus has particular utility for firefighters to assist in orienting themselves with respect to an initial point of reference (POR) when inside a active firefighting location.
Emergency vision device using spring wire loops
An emergency vision device includes an enclosed housing having a first end and a second end; first and second clear members disposed at the first and second ends, respectively; the housing including a plurality of wall panels joined side-to-side, the wall panels being foldable; and a loop of spring wire is operably associated with each of at least two of the wall panels.

METHOD OF ARRANGING EQUIPMENT IN PLANT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PLANT
Provided is a technology for efficiently arranging equipment. A method of arranging equipment in a plant for processing a fluid includes: calculating a risk; obtained by multiplying a probability that flowing-out of a fluid requiring use of the equipment occurs by an impact degree of the flowing-out of the fluid; setting a distance of a range in which the equipment is arrangeable so that, when the calculated risks of a plurality of devices are compared with each other, the range in which the equipment is arrangeable is shorter for a device for which the risk is high, and the range is longer for a device for which the risk is low; and then determining a position to arrange the equipment based on positions at which the plurality of devices are arranged in the plant, and on the distance of the range in which the equipment is arrangeable.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) WITH ANALYTICAL STREAM PROCESSING FOR SAFETY EVENT DETECTION
In some examples, a system includes an article of personal protective equipment (PPE) having at least one sensor configured to generate a stream of usage data; and an analytical stream processing component comprising: a communication component that receives the stream of usage data; a memory configured to store at least a portion of the stream of usage data and at least one model for detecting a safety event signature, wherein the at least one model is trained based as least in part on a set of usage data generated by one or more other articles of PPE of a same type as the article of PPE; and one or more computer processors configured to: detect the safety event signature in the stream of usage data based on processing the stream of usage data with the model, and generate an output in response to detecting the safety event signature.

Automated emergency response
A method and system for automatically detecting a location is provided. The method includes receiving by a vehicle, data describing a specified geographical area of a collapsed structure. A received control signal enables control of the vehicle such that the vehicle initiates motion and navigates in a specified direction towards the specified geographical area and upon arriving at the specified geographical area, a size and a magnitude of the collapsed structure is determined via sensors of the vehicle. A center location of the collapsed structure is determined and the vehicle hovers above the center location. Geographical coordinates of the location above the center location are transmitted to a search and rescue system and the center location is scanned via ground penetrating radar. Open spaces within the collapsed structure are determined and scanned to locate living entities within the open spaces.
