A signaling device for increasing visibility of a mobile robot. The signaling device comprises (a) a base section, attached with a rotational joint to a side of the mobile robot, said rotational joint allowing the device to rotate clockwise and/or anticlockwise relative to the mobile robot, the rotational joint constructed and adapted to return the device to an equilibrium position; and (b) a body section comprising a mast, the body section flexibly attached to the base section at a lower extreme of the body section.

An illuminated safety garment to improve the visibility of a wearer, such as a public service worker, in low-light conditions. The safety garment features an integrated LED light system that is electrically connected to a power source, and that ensure that the wearer is visible to third parties from a 360 degree vantage point. The LED light system may be hardwired or in wireless communication with an individualized or central controller that enables the user to control multiple aspects or features of the LED light system, as well as those of a number of other accessories such as an audible system, locator system, etc. Use of the illuminated safety garment offers a way to prevent serious accidents and injuries due to low visibility of, for example, public service workers.

The present technology is directed to wearable visibility systems that can comprises a base strap, a light assembly carried directly or indirectly to the base strap, and a power source container carried by the base strap. The base strap has a front portion, a rear portion, and a shoulder portion between the front portion and the rear portion. The base strap is flexible and configured such that the shoulder portion is configured to conform to a shoulder of a person. The light assembly includes one or more light sources and is configured to extend along at least a portion of each of the front portion and rear portion of the base strap. The power source container is electrically coupled to the light assembly.

Threat identification devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which identify and locate various threats and provide a variety of countermeasures to reduce the loss of life in an attack. In one implementation, a device is provided with a housing and a plurality of tubes coupled to and extending from the housing. Sensors are located within the tubes for sensing external conditions. A control unit is in electronic communication with the sensors. Upon detection of an external condition, the sensors transmit a signal to the control unit, which activates countermeasures, including rotating light sources to identify the location of the external condition as well as preferred escape routes. The control unit may also transmit signals to other devices in the environment, including video panels and speakers, to provide instructions.

Electronic light emitting flares and related methods. Flares of the present invention include various features such as self-synchronization, remote control, motion-actuated or percussion-actuated features, dynamic shifting between side-emitting and top-emitting light emitters in response to changes in positional orientation (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal) of the flare; overrides to cause continued emission from side-emitting or top-emitting light emitters irrespective of changes in the flare's positional orientation; use of the flare(s) for illumination of traffic cones and other hazard marking or traffic safety objects or devices, group on/off features, frequency specificity to facilitate use of separate groups of flares in proximity to one another, selection and changing of flashing patterns and others.

A detector (10; 110) is provided for mounting to a container (2) defining an internal space (6) in order to determine occupancy of the container. The detector includes a housing (12; 112), a mounting arrangement for mounting the housing to a container, a sensor arrangement comprising a first sensor (30; 130) disposed within the housing, the first sensor configured to determine a concentration of carbon dioxide within an internal space (6) of a container (2); and a control system (40; 140) configured to receive input values from the first sensor and to provide an output when the concentration of carbon dioxide exceeds a predetermined value. The housing is substantially sealed for preventing the ingress of debris into the housing, and the housing is configured such that air is able to flow into the housing and over the first sensor.

According to one or more aspects, systems and methods for human-vehicle interaction are described herein. A touchpad may include a first touchpad zone and a second touchpad zone. A display may include a first display zone and a second display zone, which correspond to the first touchpad zone and the second touchpad zone, respectively. A processor may execute instructions stored on a memory to perform rendering a first application in a first mode within the first display zone of the display and rendering a second application in a second mode within the second display zone of the display. The processor, in response to an input from the touchpad, may render the already running second application in a first mode within the first display zone of the display and render the first application in a second mode within the second display zone of the display.

Embodiments described herein relate to a threat detection system that shows a user an incident as it develops in real time by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to more accurately focus cameras and highlight the areas of concern within those feeds, providing a much more efficient user interface to the operator. These annotated feeds and feed focused triggering events can also be connected to third party systems. This timeline of events and evidence (small annotated clip of detection when available) is archived and can be reviewed at a later date, containing an accurate timeline of the incident as it progressed.
