In some instances, a person may need monitoring. The monitoring may be based on age, or on other factors such as abilities and functionality. The monitoring may enable a supervising person to remotely receive updates regarding the subject person. The supervising person may enter in various biometric parameters to monitor. The supervising person may alternatively and/or additionally set other factors to monitor such as time of day, location, activity level, and the like. The monitoring may provide peace of mind to a supervising person to ensure the subject person is safe. In some embodiments, the supervising person may set various alarm thresholds. The alarm thresholds may trigger an alert to the supervising person. In alternative embodiments, if the subject person is a grown person without a supervising person in the same vicinity, a security and/or automation system may act as the supervising adult.

The present disclosure relates to a work safety management system using a safety belt unit for high-place work, and safety during working at a high place can be enhanced by determining whether a worker has fastened a seat belt to a safety structure, and the location of the worker, whether the seat belt is fastened and whether the work is on progress can be monitored in real time from a remote location to prevent safety accidents.

A wearable badge for an employee that records and transmits audio from client interactions with the professional, comprising two microphones and two microphone channels that focus one microphone on the speech of the employee and the other microphone on the speech of the customer, making diarizing easier. The wearable badge also comprises a module to determine whether or not the employee is maintaining an appropriate social distance with customers.

A head guard is provided. The head guard includes one or more sensors as part of an sensory input and communications system. The head guard wirelessly communicates data to remote computing devices for intelligent data collection.

An operating unit (2) sets ventilation parameters of a control unit (11) of a ventilator (1) that includes a gas dispensing device (10) for ventilation gases. The operating unit includes a display unit and an ventilation parameters input element (23, 24). Two or more of the parameters are linked via a relation condition stored in a relation storage module (40). A relation monitor (3) includes a deviation detector (31) detecting a transgression of the relation condition during parameter setting, and outputs warning information via a warning unit (32). This avoids a need for an operator to note the sometimes complicated connections and dependencies expressed in the relations during the parameter setting. The warning may be sent before the new setting value is sent from the operating unit to the control unit. Operating safety is increased and a risk of setting errors is minimized.

Various arrangements for performing fall detection are presented. A smart-home device (110, 201), comprising a monolithic radar integrated circuit (205), may transmit radar waves. Based on reflected radar waves, raw waveform data may be created. The raw waveform data may be processed to determine that a fall by a person (101) has occurred. Speech may then be output announcing that the fall has been detected via the speaker (217) of the smart home device (110, 201).

In one embodiment, a device obtains sensor data from one or more sensors worn by a first responder. The device analyzes the sensor data to identify a position of a person with whom the first responder is interacting. The device determines that a policy violation has occurred based in part on the position of the person. The device provides an alert that indicates the policy violation.

A water activity board is described, comprising: a. a plurality of sensors, b. a data unit interconnected to the sensors. c. a communication unit interconnected to the data unit. wherein the communication unit is configured to communicate to a cloud-based database. In some embodiments the sensors are selected from a group consisting of Environmental sensors, sea platform sensors and User sensors.

A vitals monitoring handcuff apparatus comprising a housing structure that is adapted to be coupled with a set of handcuffs and to contain a plurality of modules and units; a first module that is located within the housing structure and adapted to measure a wearer's heartrate via a sensor; a second module that is located within the housing structure and is adapted to measure the wearer's respiration rate via a sensor; a controller unit that is located within the housing structure, is configured to relay instructional programs to the modules and units which causes the modules and units to operate, and the controller unit receives data from the modules and inputs that data into associated algorithms that produce corresponding output signals; a communication unit that is located within the housing structure and receives the output signals from the controller unit and is adapted to relay the output signals to a user; and a rechargeable power unit located within the housing structure that is accessed by a port on an exterior of the housing structure, provides power to the vitals monitoring handcuff apparatus's other modules and units, and having a receiver which connects with an exterior power source via the port.

In one embodiment, a sensor unit includes an outer housing including a top plate and a base member that together define an interior space, the top plate being configured to directly receive and support the leg of the piece of furniture, a load cell provided within the interior space configured to measure forces imposed by the leg on the top plate, the load cell including a planar metal plate having a deformable element to which the top plate is mounted and a sensor element mounted to the planar metal plate at a location at which the deformable element extends from the remainder of the planar metal plate, and an internal platform provided within the interior space and associated with the base member that supports the planar metal plate of the load cell in a manner in which the deformable element of the planar metal plate is free to deform when a force is imposed by the leg on the top plate.
