  • Patent number: 11627721
    Abstract: A detector for detecting a signal from one or more feeders. A processor is in communication with the can be configured with an artificial intelligence module and a library of pre-recorded action events and for comparing the signal with the library of pre-recorded action events and determining a likely action event. A warning device can be in communication with the processor for providing an output in response to the likely action event. At least one false positive sensor in communication with either the processor or the warning device or both of the processor and the warning device can be used for stopping the output from the warning device upon a predetermined condition.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150241860
    Abstract: In general terms, this disclosure is directed to an intelligent home and office automation system. An intelligent automation system, comprises one or more sensors configured to detect activity; a transceiver; a processor communicatively connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to control a remotely located device; wherein, in response to detecting activity, the one or more sensors are configured to send detection signals to the transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate the received detection signals to the processor; and wherein the processor is configured to control one or more local devices based on the received detection signals.

  • Patent number: 7529610
    Abstract: A brake interface module for an electronic air brake (EAB) or a magnet valve that incorporates positive train control digital commands with additional fail-safe, discrete train control spare inputs into a single, fail safe output via redundant power supplies. The brake interface module comprises a positive train control circuitry including a first microcontroller and a second microcontroller operatively coupled to each other. The brake interface module also includes spare discrete inputs that utilize fail-safe principles and are continuously monitored by the second microcontroller to achieve fail-safe performance. Each power supply contains redundant, independent means of shutting down to facilitate self test.
