A signaling device for increasing visibility of a mobile robot. The signaling device comprises a signaling section, a body section, and a base section. The invention also discloses a system for increasing visibility of a mobile robot. The system comprises a mobile robot, a signaling device attached to the mobile robot and a remote terminal configured to at least one of monitoring and controlling at least one of the mobile robot and the signaling device.

Described herein is a system for a mobile platform includes a storage compartment that defines an interior space. The storage compartment forms part of the mobile platform. Further, the storage compartment is operable to physically separate the interior space from an exterior space. The system also includes a visual indicator that provides to the exterior space a visual indication of a storage capacity status of the interior space of the storage compartment.

Provided is a passenger evacuation direction guidance system, and particularly, a passenger evacuation direction guidance system capable of easily evacuating passengers to a safe place from a disaster or an accident occurring during a train service, and including an emergency situation detection unit which determines the occurrence of a disaster or an accident on a traveling route of a train, an evacuation direction generation unit which receives an emergency situation detection signal in respect to the occurrence of a disaster or an accident from the emergency situation detection unit, and generates passenger evacuation direction information at a disaster or accident occurrence point, and an evacuation direction control unit which receives the passenger evacuation direction information generated by the evacuation direction generation unit, and provides a passenger evacuation direction to the passengers.

An output device mounting plate can, in a disclosed embodiment, carry a fixedly mounted strobe unit and a displaced region to releasably attach additional output devices. The additional output devices can include a verbal output device, an audible output device, a visual output device, or an audible/visual output device.

A method is provided that is implemented by a first NFC device configured in reader mode. The method includes evaluating an information about the coupling between the first NFC device and a second NFC device configured in card mode, as a function of the position of an antenna of the first NFC device with respect to an antenna of the second NFC device. The method further includes indicating the information by a user interface of the first device.

An integrated system includes a system user interface (SUI) that provides an iconic, at-a-glance representation of integrated security system status. The SUI is for use across all client devices including mobile or cellular telephones, a mobile portal, a web portal, and a touchscreen device. The SUI includes a number of display elements presented across all types of client devices for monitoring status of the integrated security system. The display elements of the SUI include an orb icon, text summary, security button, device warnings, system warnings, interesting sensors, and quiet sensors. The SUI thus provides system status summary information agnostically across all clients. Additionally, the SUI provides consistent iconography, terminology, and display rules across all clients as well as consistent sensor and system detail across clients.

A lighting assembly is configured to create an emergency notification. The lighting assembly has a housing with a housing first surface and a housing second surface. A plurality of strobe lights is arranged into at least one row and at least four columns. A direct current power system is joined to the plurality of strobe lights and further comprising a printed circuit board electrically coupled to radio frequency relay switch, and a battery. A wireless remote is communicatively coupled to the radio frequency relay switch. Activating the wireless remote directs the printed circuit board to provide power to the plurality of strobe lights creating the emergency notification.

A security system is described for managing a premises. The security system comprises security system components and a first controller. A takeover component receives security data of the security system from the first controller. The security data is used to configure a second controller to communicate with the security system. The second controller communicates with the security system components and replaces the first controller in management of the security system.

Systems and methods for monitoring passenger activity in an aircraft cabin environment to predict immediate future passenger needs. The systems and methods make use of sensors positioned within an aircraft cabin environment configured to sense condition changes of objects corresponding to predetermined service issues, device(s) usable by the service crew indicating the sensed condition changes, and processing circuitry configured to receive sensor signals and indicate the condition changes through the device(s) such that the service crew is made aware of the condition changes requiring actions to be completed by the service crew to attend to the immediate future passenger needs.
