  • Patent number: 11649001
    Abstract: An alarm device for preventing theft of a vehicle having a kickstand support attached to the vehicle having: a housing associated with the kickstand support; a pressure sensing component located associated with the housing and adjacent an end of the kickstand for detecting a force of the kickstand on a ground surface, the pressure sensing component including a surface area for contacting the ground surface when the kickstand is in the deployed position; a controller in electronic communication with the pressure sensor for determining whether the kickstand is in contact with the ground surface based on measurements from the pressure sensing component; a communications module in electronic communication with the controller for wirelessly communicating with a user device. The controller generates an alarm when the kickstand is in the deployed position and determines that the force of the kickstand on the ground has changed by a threshold amount.

  • Patent number: 10115484
    Abstract: A system for tracking an inventory of medication includes: one or more medication detecting devices, each of the medication detecting devices having a medication container for receiving medication; a pressure sensing component in sensory contact with the medication portion; one or more personal communication devices; a remote database in communication with the one or more pressure sensors and the at least one personal communication device; an interactive user interface displayed on the display of the personal communication device for receiving medication data from a user. When one of the pressure sensors detects a pressure change on the pressure sensing component, the detected change of pressure is transmitted to the remote database, wherein the remote database analyzes the change in pressure from the one or more pressure sensors and transmits an alert when the detected pressure change corresponds to the medication input parameters inputted by the user.

  • Publication number: 20180128578
    Abstract: A riot shield includes: a shield including a first aperture formed through the shield, the shield having a first face and a second face opposite the first face; a first handle attached to the first face of the shield portion, the first handle including a handle body having a first cavity formed therein, the first cavity located adjacent to the first face of the shield portion and aligned with the first aperture; and a first deterrent module removably inserted into the first cavity of the first handle, the first deterrent module including a discharge end that is aligned with the first aperture of the shield such that a deterrent of the first deterrent module is discharged outwardly from the second face of the shield portion.
