An abnormal status monitoring system includes a monitored side and a monitoring side. The monitored side includes a first status sensing unit for generating status information of the monitored side and a signal transmission unit for transmitting a wireless signal which includes the status information of the monitored side. The monitoring side includes a second status sensing unit for generating status information of the monitoring side, a signal receiving unit for receiving the wireless signal, and a control unit. When the received signal strength index of the wireless signal is higher than a first threshold value, the control unit compares the status information of the monitored side and the status information of the monitoring side. When a difference between the status information of the monitored side and the status information of the monitoring side is larger than a second threshold value, the control unit generates an alarm.

A system, method, and a package tracking device for tracking the movement of a package to prevent theft of the package are described. According to an embodiment, a package tracking device adapted to be attached with a package is described. The package tracking device having a unique device identification number allows a user, through an application interface running of a wireless communication device, to associate a geographical boundary (geo-fencing) with the delivery address of the package. The package tracking device operates in a passive tracking mode when the package is within the defined geographical boundary, generates a first signal when the package is moved from a drop location, generates a second signal when the package is moved out from the geofencing associated with the delivery address and operates in active tracking mode when the package is moved out from the geofencing associated with the delivery address.

A motorized vehicle including: a front fork; a steering shaft able to rotate inside a steering column; at least one fork crown coupled to the steering shaft and to the front fork; and at least one electronic component intended to collect and/or transmit data relating to the operation of the motorised vehicle. The fork crown has a body in which there is formed a cavity closed by a cover and an electronic board housed in the cavity and able to centralize and/or process the data supplied by the at least one electronic component.

Systems and methods for maximizing the deterrence effect on theft. Specifically, systems and methods for selecting and randomizing at least one response to potential theft events while minimizing impact on store personnel productivity in a retail setting. A plurality of defined event triggers detected by a monitored source results in the randomization of response to detected event.

It is provided a method for controlling operational state of a sensor device for break-in detection. The method is performed in the sensor device and comprises the steps of: determining, while in a low-power state, that a wake-up condition is true when a vibration measurement associated with a barrier is greater than a wake-up threshold; transitioning, when the wake-up condition is true, to an active state; determining, while in the active state, when an activity condition is true, the activity condition being based on vibration measurements associated with the barrier; increasing the wake-up threshold, and transitioning to the low-power state when the activity condition is not determined to be true within a first duration while in the active state; and decreasing the wake-up threshold, when the sensor device stays in low-power state longer than a second duration.

Personal portable items are subject to potential loss or misplacement by their owners or authorized users. A system and method is operative with personal portable items which are locally associated with a processor, memory, and sensors (either built-in or via attached sensing device). The memory stores environmental parameters which indicate a potential chance or possibility that an item may be lost, stolen, or misplaced in the near-term, proximate future. The stored parameters are customized to the historical or expected uses of the portable item by a particular user or owner in particular, user-specific contexts. The sensors sense the environment of the portable item in real-time. If the sensed environment or sensed item usage matches the environmental parameters which indicate risk of loss or misplacement, an alert element signals the portable item's user, enabling the user to take anticipatory action to prevent item loss. In an embodiment, at least one first portable item of two or more portable items which are both intended to be substantially on-person of an authorized user, is configured to monitor a status of a second other portable item with which it is paired. If the first portable item detects an anomalous status of the second portable item, the first portable item alerts the authorized user that the second item is at risk of being lost, misplaced, or stolen.

A portable item reporting device (PIRD) automatically learns a use of a portable item which is selected by an owner or authorized user of the portable item, where the PIRD is configured to be attached to and in substantial collocation with the selected portable item, or to be integrated into the portable item. The PIRD includes environmental monitors which monitor item location, item movement, and/or other environmental factors. The PIRD detects obtains and analyzes environmental data during usage of the portable item by the authorized user, or during user-designated storage of the portable item in a storage location. The PIRD further identifies and/or learns, based on the detected environmental data, one or more repeated patterns and/or context-determined patterns of usage or physical storage of the user's portable item. The PIRD then stores the past, learned pattern(s) of usage data as indicative of expected and/or normal, future use/storage by the authorized user of the portable item. In some embodiments, the PIRD includes linking elements to ensure that the PIRD remains attached to, and/or in substantial colocation with, a designated portable item of an owner or authorized user.

A data collection device and method for determining an alternative event condition is presented. The method includes receiving a first data communication including a first data value from a first sensor and determining a first event condition based on the first data value being beyond a predetermined threshold. The method further includes receiving additional data communications including additional data values from one or more second sensors, aggregating the first data value and the additional data values, and determining that the determination of the first event condition is incorrect based on the aggregated data values and a known relationship between the first sensor and the one or more second sensors. The method additionally includes determining a second event condition based on the first data value and the additional data values being beyond the predetermined threshold. An action may then be performed in response to the determination of the second event condition.

Embodiments are disclosed for a portable battery pack with a secure anchor base. In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises: a housing having a top surface and at least one side surface, the housing having two or more ports, the two or more output ports including at least one charging port configured to charge an accessory device attached to the at least one charging port and a cable input port for receiving a cable pin; one or more batteries; one or more printed circuit boards containing electronic components, wherein the electronic components include charging circuitry coupled to the charging port and the one or more batteries; an anchor base assembly, including: an actuator; mechanical linkage coupled to the actuator; and a lock configured to lock or unlock the actuator.

A retail merchandise pusher is configured for sliding along a pusher assembly track. The pusher assembly is mountable to a retail merchandise shelf. The pusher includes a housing, a spring drum rotatably mounted within the housing, and a coil spring mounted to the spring drum. The coil spring is coilable and uncoilable upon rotation of the spring drum. A controller is coupled to a sensor arrangement within the housing. The sensor arrangement has a spring drum sensor for detecting rotation of the spring drum. A direction sensor detects a direction of rotation of the spring drum. An incremental distance sensor detects incremental movement of the pusher. The controller is configured to calculate, based on data from the sensor arrangement, a total distance and direction of travel by the pusher, and to generate an alarm when the pusher travels more than a threshold distance within a predetermined period of time.
