Publication number: 20160240057Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for providing alerts regarding occupancy conditions. At least one analog motion detection sensor detects occupancy and/or behavior, at least one microwave motion detection sensor detects occupancy and/or behavior; and at least one sound microphone detects at least one audio frequency associated with an audio source. Motion detection information associated with occupancy and/or behavior detected by analog motion detection sensor(s) and microwave motion detection sensor(s), and audio detection information is received, and processed to determine an occupancy and/or behavior condition. The determined occupancy and/or behavior condition is compared to a baseline occupancy and/or baseline condition to establish a status of the determined occupancy and/or behavior condition. An alert is generated that represents a condition associated with the status, and is output.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2016Publication date: August 18, 2016Inventor: Paul Galburt

Publication number: 20060009940Abstract: A railroad signal system interlocking is automatically tested. A control point interface corresponding to a predetermined function of the interlocking has an isolated section and a control section. The isolated section is connected with the interlocking and has a normal, inactivated state during operation of the interlocking, and an activated state for testing the interlocking by detecting an electrical characteristic representing the status of the predetermined function executed by the interlocking. The control section drives the isolated section to its activated state and receiving an output from the isolated section in response to the detected electrical characteristic, and delivers a status report.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2005Publication date: January 12, 2006Inventors: Joseph Winkler, Paul Galburt, Donald Crosby, David Rayna, Christopher Traynor, George Briechle
