FALL PROTECTION FOR LOW SLOPE ROOFERS USING RADIO WAVES
The invention through its personal protective equipment (PPE) may warn the roof worker when that roofer moves beyond the setback selected from the exposed unprotected roofs edge, beyond which a fall causing injury or a fatality may occur. The PPE monitors each worker, keeping them back from the roofs edge according to OSHA fall standard 19260501b10. The transmitter keeps a log of the date and time incursions occur beyond the selected setback for each workers' PPE. This information is stored in a transmitter and downloaded via a smart phone APP created and coded by this new art and sent to management, insurer, and OSHA for safety compliance and production monitoring. The hardhat PPE offers additional safety protection.
DISTRIBUTED SECURITY SYSTEM USING POSITION TRACKING
Systems, methods, and computer program products for securing a device or an asset attached thereto. The positions of a plurality of devices are monitored, and based on the positions, a determination is made as to whether a threshold condition has been violated. If the threshold condition has been violated, a notification signal is transmitted from a monitored device to one or more of the other devices to alert a responder that the monitored device is at risk of being lost. In response to the threshold condition being violated, the monitored device may also record and/or transmit data for display to the responder to help prevent the loss, or facilitate the recovery of the monitored device and/or an asset attached to the monitored device.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A PORTABLE ARTICLE
A system for monitoring a portable article having: a housing; a location signal generator on the housing configured to continuously generate location signals that can be processed to monitor a location of the housing; and a securing assembly configured to: a) maintain the housing in an operative state on a portable article being monitored; and b) generate an alert signal in the event that the securing assembly is altered with the housing in the operative state in a manner that allows separation of the housing from a portable article being monitored.
VIRTUAL CONTAINMENT ZONE USING ULTRA-WIDEBAND
A virtual containment zone system is provided. The virtual containment zone system includes a plurality of beacons, a plurality of joining segments, and a tracking device. Each of the plurality of beacons employ ultra-wideband and define a vertex of a virtual containment zone boundary that forms the perimeter of a virtual containment zone. Each of the plurality of joining segments define the virtual containment zone boundary between two of the plurality of beacons. The tracking device comprises a processing device. The processing device is configured to determine the virtual containment zone boundary, enable one or more of the plurality of joining segments to take an action in response to a location of the tracking device, determine the location of the tracking device, determine, based on the location of the tracking device, an action to take, and send, to the tracking device, a signal to perform the action.
Wearable device and system for tracking
A wearable device and a system for tracking the wearable device may enhance safety and peace of mind for a parent or caretaker of a child or other individual. The system may include a computing device, such as a smartphone, executing an application that provides alerts based on a distance between the computing device and the wearable device exceeding a threshold distance, based on the wearable device crossing a define geographic boundary, or one or more similar triggers. The wearable device may include an input button that allows a user of the wearable device to send a signal to the computing device of the parent or caretaker. An alert on the computing device might be disabled by pressing the input button on the wearable device.
Tracking And Alarm System
A tracking and alarm system, including at least one wearable tracking device to be worn around at least a portion of a body of a user, at least one primary receiver connected to the at least one wearable tracking device to receive a location of the at least one wearable tracking device based on a GPS signal, and perform at least one of emit an alarm sound and display an alarm warning thereon, and at least one mobile device connected to the at least one wearable tracking device to receive a location of the at least one wearable tracking device based on a GPS signal, and perform at least one of emit an alarm sound and display an alarm warning thereon.
Proximity alerting systems and methods
Systems and methods for detecting a breach of a proximity threshold associated with a first electronic device comprising a first electronic device configured to transmit a first wireless signal; and a second electronic device configured to: 1) measure a strength of the first wireless signal, 2) determine, based on the measured strength of the first wireless signal, a proximity of the second electronic device to the first electronic device, 3) instruct the first electronic device, via a second wireless signal, to subsequently transmit the first wireless signal at a predetermined interval corresponding with a proximity of the second electronic device to a proximity threshold associated with the first electronic device, and 4) measure a strength of the first wireless signal being transmitted at the predetermined interval to detect when the second electronic device breaches the proximity threshold associated with the first electronic device.
SYSTEM FOR LOCATING A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND KEYS
A system for locating a portable electronic device comprising: a key ring; a FOB attached to the key ring; a case, where the case holds the portable electronic device; an electronic signal transmitted between the FOB and the case; a software application, where the software application resides on a memory of the portable electronic device; an audible alert emitted from the key FOB; and a button on the FOB, where the button is adapted to initiate an audible alert from the case. The case preferably includes visual alerts such as flashing lights.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR WORKPLACE SAFETY RISK AVOIDANCE
A method is provided to avoid risk at a workplace. The method comprises establishing an indication including a first region with a first safety level at the workplace; determining a position of an object in the workplace and generating position information; and issuing a first alert if it is determined that the object is in the first region based on the position information and the indication.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERRING THEFT OF PACKAGE, AND DEVICE THEREFOR
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.
