Patent number: 10155500Abstract: A local area security system interfaces with one or more vehicles to provide enhanced security. The vehicles have vehicle sensors which may further help determine a presence of potential threat within a vicinity of the local area security system. The multiple vehicle network may communicate with each other to expand the vicinity of the local area security system, share equipment, computing resources, and information in the determination of the presence of the potential threat. The battery powered vehicle may employ various methods to conserve battery power while coupled to the local area security system.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2018Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Randall Lee Cogill, Olivier Gallay, Chungmok Lee, Zubair Nabi, Martin M. Rufli, Robert Shorten, Tigran T. Tchrakian, Rudi Verago, Fabian Roger Wirth, Sergiy Zhuk

Patent number: 8721132Abstract: A visual display is provided through the combined effect of many devices that individually illuminate in response to wind flow. The devices are distributed at different locations within a three-dimensional space, so as to provide an overall illumination effect throughout the space that visually indicates wind (air) or other fluid flowing through the space. Each device can include a housing, at least one light source, a sensor system, and a device controller. The sensor system can include any of various types of sensor subsystems, each having one or more sensors, but includes at least a flow sensor subsystem. The device controller is configured to activate the light source in response to the sensor system detecting a change in an environmentally-related input, such as air flow, sensed by the sensor system.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Beardsley, Martin M. Rufli, Pirmin Mattmann
