Methods and apparatus for providing multi-stage signal amplification in a medical telemetry system are provided.

An electronic device and a smart method for controlling an alarm are provided. The smart method includes, controlling a collection device to collect physiological parameters of a user when an alarm device of the electronic device sounds an alarm at a schedules time, obtaining the physiological parameters collected by the collection device, and determining whether the user is asleep or awake according to the obtained physiological parameters. The alarm device is disabled if the user is awake.

Systems or methods can be used to detect evidence of tampering. The tampering can be physical tampering, such as the turning of a screw, or removal or modification of an electronic component. In some examples, a tamper detection value can be determined from a tamper detection device and compared to a predetermined tamper detection value to determine if tampering is indicated. The system can, upon detection of the tampering, halt an operation, disable device or circuit functionality, disable future operations, physically disable a device, or any combination thereof.

A vehicle access system includes an identification device with a first transceiver, a short-range transceiver and a processor configured to control the first transceiver and the short-range transceiver to activate the first transceiver only when a distance measurement between the identification device and a vehicle is within a predefined range as determined utilizing the short-range transceiver.

A method and system for improving the safety of the environment for an occupant of a dwelling which includes providing the dwelling with monitors and sensors to detect emergencies and a communication system that permits hands-free communication with responding parties and historic and/or real-time imaging feed of the inside of the dwelling to the responding parties.

A semiconductor includes a set of protected hardware resources, where at least one protected hardware resource stores a secure key. The semiconductor also includes a computation kernel and a memory to store a resource enablement module executed by the computation kernel. The resource enablement module selectively enables a protected hardware resource in response to a delivered key corresponding to the secure key.

A method for monitoring devices based at least in part on detected conditions includes accumulating, by one or more sensory nodes, sensed information in an area that includes a controllable device. The method also includes analyzing the sensed information to identify historical information regarding the area that includes the controllable device. The method also includes sensing a condition within the area by the one or more sensory nodes. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on the sensed condition and at least in part on the historical information, that the sensed condition relates to the controllable device. The method further includes generating, responsive to said determining, an alert regarding the controllable device.

Methods, systems, and devices for controlling access within a multi-facility room are provided. More specifically, a guest of the multi-room facility is allowed to remotely confirm reservations to the facility as well as bypass the front desk of the multi-room for check-in purposes. At a location within the facility, the guest is allowed to confirm their arrival, check-in, and have their access credential written with personalized access data that may be useable for the duration of the guest's stay.

An intelligent entrance guard unlocking method includes: transmitting electric energy by wireless electromagnetic radiation via a transmit coil; receiving the electric energy via a receive coil; capturing a vein image of a part of a user via a number of small cameras by Infrared scanning technology and filtering noises from the vein image to get a filtered vein image; transmitting a wireless signal containing the filtered vein image to an intelligent entrance guard; comparing the filtered vein image with a predefined vein image; unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image matches with the predefined vein image and not unlocking the intelligent entrance guard when the filtered vein image does not match with the predefined vein image.
