  • Patent number: 10629044
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for detecting incapacitation and location using nodes are described herein. One system for detecting incapacitation and location using nodes can include an impact sensor, and a node including a memory and a processor to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to determine an incapacitating event has occurred via the impact sensor, determine a location of the node using a plurality of nodes, where the plurality of nodes include the node, and transmit the incapacitating event and the location of the node to an external server.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2020
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Hai D. Pham, Robert C. Becker, Adam P. Boutz, Christian Larson, Conrad Ihla

  • Patent number: 9140798
    Abstract: Transmitting positions of devices is described herein. One method for transmitting a position of a device includes converting a received Global Positioning System (GPS) signal to a short range signal with a first device, transmitting the short range signal using the first device, receiving the short range signal with a second device, and transmitting a position of the second device determined from the short range signal using the second device.

  • Patent number: 8633784
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a contactless RF coupling device that includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The RF coupling device may provide a broadband, low loss electrical connection without mechanical contact as would a conventional mechanical connector. The first substrate includes a first ground plane on one side and a first transmission line on an opposing side. The first transmission line includes an enlarged first coupling member at an end of the first transmission line. The second substrate includes a second ground plane on one side and a second transmission line on an opposing side. The second transmission line includes an enlarged second coupling member at an end of the second transmission line. The first ground plane may not extend under the first coupling member and the second ground plane may include an opening that is aligned with the second coupling member.
