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.

A wireless power transfer system is provided, comprising a first device having a power supply and configured to wirelessly transmit electric power from the power supply, and a second device having one or more electrical components and configured to wirelessly receive the electric power and provide it to the one or more electrical components for consumption. The second device further comprises an alignment module configured to activate an indicator if a measured level of the received power is greater than a threshold level. Also provided is a wireless system comprising a first device having a power supply and a wireless transmitter configured to transmit a data signal and an electric power signal, and a second device having a wireless receiver configured to receive the electric power signal and data signal, and one or more electrical components configured to consume the received power and process the received data.

A pack frame for vehicle riders or users on foot forms an X-shaped shell securing different types of detachable accessory packs between the frame and the rider. The detachable accessory packs are secured to the X-shaped frame with cam and collar mechanisms. The detachable accessory packs include a daypack, weekend pack, hydropack, and skatepack, for example. In an implementation, the pack frame forming the X-shaped shell is illuminated by signal lights and a wireless system to mirror traffic signaling of the user's vehicle, such as a motorcycle. The signal lights of the pack frame are adjustable and user-mappable to the vehicle's signaling via a mobile application. A curved and X-shaped brake light on the frame makes the rider of a motorcycle visible from many different viewpoints around the rider.

A visual distress signal device that generates and emits bright light and/or infrared light to alert bystanders during times of distress. The device may be particularly suited for use on boats. The device may comprise a heat sink assembly that includes a screw-on collar that is attached to a housing of the device, such that the screw-on collar dissipates heat generated by electromagnetic radiation emitting elements away from an interior of the housing. The device may be configured for activation by a mobile phone or other mobile device which may be connected to the device via wireless communication. Furthermore, the mobile device may comprise a software application that can be used to alert persons in a contact list regarding the user's location and emergency status.

The current technology relates to an in-line modular indicator assembly. Each of a plurality of in-line modular indicators are configured to be coupled in a series with a first electrical cable and a second electrical cable. The plurality of in-line modular indicators is configured to define an electrically conductive path to transmit electricity from the first electrical cable to the second electrical cable. Each of the in-line modular indicators have detection circuits having alternate configurations and notification devices configured to provide alternate notifications.

An attachment system for attachment to a signaling device includes an attachment member. The attachment member is formed of a ring-shape made of an elastic material and includes an annular base and at least one fin. The annular base includes an external peripheral edge and a central orifice defining an internal peripheral edge. The annular base also includes an annular lower face and an annular upper face. The fin projects from the external peripheral edge of the annular base. The attachment member is movable between a rest configuration in which the annular base is planar and extends in a main plane to allow insertion and positioning on the signaling device at a selected position, and a deformed configuration in which the annular base is non-planar in a deformed state in order to be able to match a peripheral area of the signaling device.

Aspects discussed herein relate to providing alerts to a community of devices located in or near a geographic are such as a building or property. The alerts override any alert-inhibiting state of the mobile device to deliver audio, visual, and/or haptic alerts in emergency situations. The communication and emergency alert system may be used to communicate with many different communities of people. Moreover, certain individuals may be members of more than one community at the same time, and the communities themselves may change over time based both on the user's preferences and on their physical locations. User interaction with their mobile devices and/or provided alerts can be monitored and tracked to determine engagement with the emergency alert system. Additional alerts can be provided on other devices associated with the user until the user is confirmed to have received the alert.

Described herein is a vehicle cone placer and chock assembly. The vehicle cone placer is equipped with collapsible traffic cones, a motorized linear actuator, and may have LED safety lights. The vehicle cone placer is telescopic, remote controlled, and mountable to a vehicle. The vehicle cone placer and chock assembly includes at least two chock systems and adjustable brackets hydraulically operated and with at least one motorized assembly. The vehicle cone placer and chock assembly is remotely operated and self-contained as components of the vehicle.

A snowplow having a snow removal mechanism, the snowplow comprises: an obtainment unit configured to obtain topography information prior to snow accumulation; and a projection unit configured to, based on the topography information prior to snow accumulation obtained b the obtainment unit, project an image indicating the topography information prior to snow accumulation on a surface of accumulated snow that is to be removed by the snow removal mechanism.
