  • Publication number: 20220292451
    Abstract: There are disclosed systems and methods for location tracking and health monitoring of portable assets. In an embodiment, a tracking and monitoring unit is affixed to the portable asset and has an enclosure housing a microcontroller coupled with a plurality of state sensors, an interrogation tag, and a multi-mode communication system. The microcontroller collects raw data representing a location and a health of the portable asset from the multi-mode communication system and the plurality of the state sensors. An analysis platform receives the raw data from the tracking and monitoring unit and executes a tracking, monitoring, and management module to analyze the raw data according to a plurality of user-defined conditions and, in turn, determine one or more corresponding outcomes, which are presented upon one or more user devices via one or more interactive screens of a tracking and monitoring application implemented by an application-linking platform. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5820210
    Abstract: A storage device for attachment to chairs comprises a frame and a receptacle. The frame has a first part that is proximal to the chair when attached and a second part that is similar in shape to the first part and distal to the chair when attached. In a first embodiment, pegs extend from the inner face of the first part through the side edges of the receptacle and into sockets in the second part of the frame. The two parts of the frame are reversibly connected by conventional fasteners such as screws or bolts. In a second embodiment, detents extend from the inner face of the first part of the frame through the side edges of the receptacle. The detents are snapped into sockets placed in the second part of the frame, securely holding the two parts together. The detents allow the two parts of the frame to be pulled apart when desired, for example, to replace the receptacle. In both embodiments, a pocket is attached to the bottom of the receptacle and filled with advertising or marketing materials.
