A system and method for counting persons using passages to an area by analyzing vibrations in the floor or the air above the floor with sensors and a machine learning system. The machine learning system uses a model, usually implemented as a neural network on a processor. The network is trained in levels and implemented in layers. Different levels classify and analyze vibrations by timing and frequency, by movements of persons, and by identity of persons The same person is identified by patterns in the vibrations and the vibrations are correlated to determine and count when a person uses a combination of passages. Location information for the person is used to identify persons in places and doing activities of interest. The model may be trained on one processor and downloaded to another processor for evaluation. Additional sensors and levels of training may be implemented on the latter processor.

A method of confirming the identity of a person issued a token and to track that person Possession of the token by the same person is confirmed by using sensors in the token which track the movements of the person. A machine learning system is trained to evaluate the sensor data detecting transfer of possession of the token. The state of continuous possession since the token was issued or set to an enabled state is confirmed and the token is tracked. The method of identity confirmation is used in various contexts such as for to control entry to a location, use of a facility or service. It is also useful to determine continuous possession of a weapon to prevent misuse after the weapon is stolen, dropped or lost. Servers, beacons and outside sources of data or inputs to be measured by the sensor can also be used.

A method for accumulating and sharing beads rotation data with the method adapted to a bead string communicatively connecting to a communication device, and with the method comprises: generating a measurement signal by the bead string; receiving the measurement signal by a communication unit of the communication device; determining whether the measurement signal conforms to an accumulation amount by a computing unit of the communication device; and generating the beads rotation data and displaying the beads rotation data by a displaying unit of the communication device, wherein the beads rotation data comprises a number of beads rotations or a time of beads rotation.

An inclined-axis axial piston machine includes a housing, a drive shaft and a cylinder barrel. The drive shaft is mounted in the housing so as to be rotatable with respect to a first axis of rotation and is integral with a flange. Each piston is coupled to the flange via a ball joint. A multiplicity of counting perforations are arranged in a periodically distributed and continuous manner over an outer circumferential surface of the flange. The housing accommodates a sensor arranged opposite the counting perforations such that rotation of the drive shaft causes a signal change at the sensor. Each counting perforation is formed integrally from the flange, in the form of a recess having a single continuous perimeter. A side wall of the recess, starting from the perimeter, extends uninterruptedly, without sharp bends or offsets, over the entire circumference of the perimeter.

A point-of-care hygiene compliance module includes a housing that is adapted to be attached to a dispensing container that dispenses material through a dispensing nozzle when actuated. The housing includes a pivoting actuation arm that is configured so as to be placed in operative contact with the dispensing nozzle. Thus, when the actuation arm is actuated, material is dispensed from the dispensing container, and a switch in operative contact with the actuation arm is actuated. The triggering of the switch updates a count value that is maintained by a controller, which may then be displayed or acquired by a remote computer to assess the amount of usage of the dispensing container.
