Vehicle occupancy reminder
11263890 · 2022-03-01 ·

The vehicle occupancy reminder is configured for use with a vehicle that is further defined with a vehicle engine control unit (VECU) that generates an ignition off signal and a door open signal. The vehicle occupancy reminder monitors the vehicle for a passenger in a child safety seat. The vehicle occupancy reminder generates a plurality of alarms when: a) a passenger is detected in the child safety seat after the VECU has transmitted an ignition off signal to the vehicle occupancy reminder; or, b) a passenger is detected in the child safety seat after the VECU has transmitted a door open signal to the vehicle occupancy reminder. When the vehicle occupancy reminder detects a selected alarm condition alarm condition, the vehicle occupancy reminder generates a plurality of visual, audible, and tactile alarms that alert an appropriate authority that a selected alarm condition has occured.

Caregiver monitoring system

A system for providing care to a ward that alerts a caregiver of the caregiver's capacity to deal competently with the ward's needs.

APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR GEOLOCATING AN INDIVIDUAL WITH RESPECT TO A PERIMETER

An improved wearable locator has an ultra-low power RF transceiver, GPS receiver, cellular network RF transceiver, processor, programmable non-volatile memory, LCD display, accelerometer and rechargeable battery. To ensure that the locator is within a perimeter, it can cooperate with a subordinate unit that includes an ultra-low power RF transceiver, processor, power supply, DC charging output, rechargeable battery, visual, audible and tactile enunciators and pushbutton, and can be plugged into an outlet or be unplugged and be mobile. Other wireless units can be used to define a perimeter.

SECURITY SYSTEM

Provided is a security system for secure delivery of valuable goods. The security system includes an asset, and a portable container for transporting the valuable goods to or from the asset. An alarm system is provided for generating an alarm upon the portable container being stolen. Advantageously, the alarm system may reduce the likelihood of successful CIT armed robbery in which the portable container is stolen, thereby deterring the CIT armed robbery altogether.

Method for estimating a quantity of a blood component in a fluid receiver and corresponding error

A method and system for communicating estimated blood loss parameters of a patient to a user, the method comprising: receiving data representative of an image, of a fluid receiver; automatically detecting a region within the image associated with a volume of fluid received at the fluid receiver, the volume of fluid including a blood component; calculating an estimated amount of the blood component present in the volume of fluid based upon a color parameter represented in the region, and determining a bias error associated with the estimated amount of the blood component; updating an analysis of an aggregate amount of the blood component and an aggregate bias error associated with blood loss of the patient, based upon the estimated amount of the blood component and the bias error; and providing information from the analysis of the aggregate amount of the blood component and the aggregate bias error, to the user.

Alerting on proximity of items

An apparatus alerts on a distance between items. The apparatus includes a radio for communicating with an internet of things (IoT) tag on an item. A locator module determines a distance between two or more items, and an alertor module alerts a user to a violation of a proximity rule.

Multi-modal tracking locator alarm system
09786153 · 2017-10-10 ·

Tagged receivers, tracking locator alert systems, and methods of transmitting an alert are disclosed. A tagged receiver receives a command over the network interface hardware, executes the received command, send data indicative of the status of an asset to which the tagged receiver is attached over the network interface hardware, determines an alert event has occurred, and activates an alert in response to determining that the alert event has occurred. The command includes arming the tagged receiver, disarming the tagged receiver, emitting an alert from the tagged receiver, sending data indicative of location, or a combination thereof. The alert event includes the motion sensors sensing a movement of the asset, receiving a command to emit an alert over the network interface hardware, the asset leaving a predetermined geo-fenced area, or a combination thereof.

Devices and methods for locating accessories of an electronic device

Devices and methods for locating accessories of an electronic device are provided. In one example, a method may include detecting parameters associated with disconnecting an accessory from the electronic device. The electronic device, or an associated device, may store the detected parameters so that the detected parameters are accessible if the accessory becomes lost. The electronic device may receive a request from a user of the electronic device for assistance in locating the accessory. In response to the request for assistance in locating the accessory, the electronic device may provide the stored parameters to the user of the electronic device to aid them in searching for their lost accessory.

Methods, devices, and systems for prompting whether portable locator has arrived on time

The present invention discloses a method, device, and system for prompting whether a portable locator has arrived on time, one of which comprising: a server, according to position point information transmitted by the portable locator, judges that there is not a position point indicative of arrival at a destination reminder area in a current preset time period and the current time has already exceeded an estimated arrival time, and then generates and issues a non-arrival reminder. By employing the present invention, the guardian confirms at any time that the monitored person carrying the portable locator does not arrive at the destination reminder area within the preset arrival time, and thereby masters the safety information of the monitored person, whereby the user experience is improved and subsequent person search effectiveness is enhanced.

SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR ALERTING USERS TO MAINTAIN PHYSICAL DISTANCING

A method for alerting a user on an electronic device is described. The method includes identifying a signal at an ultrasound transmission frequency received at a first electronic device from a second electronic device. Further, the method includes receiving timing information corresponding to an exchange of an ultrasound transmission between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. Furthermore, a first distance value between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is computed by performing a time of flight estimation using the timing information. Furthermore, the first distance value is refined by using an output of a machine learning model to determine a second distance value. Furthermore, the method includes generating an alert based on the comparison of the second distance value with a predefined threshold distance value. In some examples, the alert can be indicative of a violation of a physical distancing norm in an environment.
