Abstract: Aspects include a water-leak-detection and -monitoring system for a building including a first area, comprising a memory, a communication interface configured to be communicatively coupled to a water-flow sensor coupled to a pipe in the first area, at least one of a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, or a liquid-water sensor configured to sense information indicative of a presence of water in the first area, and an analytical engine in communication with a base unit, the memory, the communication interface, and the at least one of the humidity sensor, the temperature sensor, or the liquid-water sensor, the analytical engine being configured to determine whether a leak is present in the building based on data from the water-flow sensor, and determine, responsive to determining that the leak is present, if the leak is in the first area based on the information indicative of the presence of water in the first area.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a method of analyzing compliance risk at a construction site, the method comprising receiving applicable compliance requirements via a controller, receiving information describing the construction site via the controller, receiving monitoring data from one or more base units gathering data at the construction site, the one or more base units including sensors, each of the sensors configured to detect one or more parameters, at least one controller communicatively coupled to one or more of the sensors, at least one communications module coupled to one or more of the controllers and configured to communicate with one or more devices, and one or more sensor ports configured to communicatively couple the one or more of the sensors to the at least one controller, and calculating one or more compliance thresholds based on the applicable compliance requirements, information describing the construction site being monitored, and the monitoring data.

Abstract: A monitoring and response system is provided for monitoring and responding to environmental conditions at one or more sites. The monitoring system includes a plurality of base units, each base unit including at least a processor and a plurality of sensors configured to monitor environmental conditions at the site(s). A central controller is in communication with the base processors at the plurality of base units and is configured to receive and process sensor information from the base units. Base units are configured to be modular and contain customizable, swappable combinations of sensors, sensor arrays, and/or other connected peripherals, and are further configured to be mountable and/or attachable to a wide variety of surfaces and objects disposed around a site such as a construction site. The system further comprises a backend, analytic system for making predictions, taking action, and generating reports responsive to the information received from the base units.

Abstract: A power wheelchair is shifted between a powered mode and a freewheel mode by shifting a foot-operated actuator coupled to the rear portion of the wheelchair.

Abstract: A cooling system for the high voltage electrode of a corona treater includes an elongated hose disposed within the dielectric tube and around which the high voltage wire is spirally wound. The elongated hose is connected to a first port through which cooling fluid is introduced. The cooling fluid flows through the hose and out an open end into the dielectric tube. The cooling fluid then flows out of the dielectric tube through a second port and back to a reservoir after passing through a high voltage isolator.
