Abstract: A computer-based system for facilitating the execution of law enforcement duties is disclosed. More particularly, according to one aspect of the invention, an electronic system is configured to facilitate the performance of law enforcement duties by quasi-instantaneously providing actionable intelligence to its users, such as front-line law enforcement officers, in response to a real-time query. According to another aspect of the invention, a system implements a set of automated status classifications for subjects with suspected or confirmed involvement in criminal activities. The status classifications specifically and concisely establish the subject's involvement in criminal activities. According to yet another aspect of the invention, a system executes a streamlined electronic process for handling and processing seized items so as to ensure that criminal assets are efficiently and effectively seized, and that asset forfeiture actions are effectively initiated against the seized items.

Abstract: A system can include a location data module configured to receive location data, the location data including patient location information associated with a plurality patients and care team member location information associated with one or more care team members, and a route module operatively connected to the location data module and configured to determine a visitation route for each of the one or more care team members to visit the plurality of patients based on the location data.

Abstract: Described herein are examples of evaluating electromagnetic energy reflection data of security scans. In embodiments, a method to evaluate electromagnetic energy reflection data determines whether electronic information of a security scan contains an anomaly, and identifies an anomaly location in the electronic information corresponding to the anomaly. The method determines a subset of the electronic information corresponding to the anomaly location, determines anomaly attributes using the subset of the electronic information, and evaluates the anomaly attributes using a database of reference items by comparing anomaly attributes to respective reference characteristics of reference items or identity information. When a comparison meets the respective match criterion for the given reference item, the method assigns to the anomaly the respective identifier as an anomaly identifier.

Abstract: A hearing system includes a hearing device for wear by a user, the hearing device comprising a speaker, and an optical receiver configured to detect light signals, and generate electrical signals in response to the detected light signals, wherein the speaker of the hearing device is communicatively coupled to the optical receiver, and is configured to provide audio signals based at least in part on the electrical signals. A hearing system includes a hub configured to receive an input from a user of the hub, and generate an output in response to the input, and a light source communicatively coupled to the hub, wherein the light source is configured to provide light signals for reception by a hearing device based at least in part on the output from the hub.

Abstract: Load carrier mountable above a bed structure of a vehicle having an upper surface and an internal bed rail system is disclosed. The load carrier broadly includes an upright base support member, an internal rail clamping assembly, and a clamp adjustment assembly. The upright base support member rests upon the upper surface of the side wall of the bed structure and connects with the internal rail clamping assembly. The upright base support member has a first clamp surface for asserting a clamping force upon the upper surface of the side wall of the bed structure. The rail clamping assembly is releasably securable to the internal bed rail system and includes a second clamp surface for asserting a clamping force upon the internal bed rail system. The clamp adjustment assembly positionally adjusts the first clamping surface with respect to the second clamping surface between clamped and unclamped positions.

Abstract: A vehicular load carrier including a hinge having an open position and a closed position. The load carrier includes a first beam having a first end attached to the hinge, and a second end deploying a projection. A second beam is attached to the hinge for rotation relative to the first beam. The second beam has an edge for mounting a rotatable rod having a handle opposite a curved latch. Upon rotation of the handle, between a first position and a second position, the curved latch moves from a released position to a position where it engages the projection to hold the first beam and the second beam together when the hinge is in its closed position.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for transporting a bicycle in a substantially upright orientation. The method includes positioning a bicycle in a carrier so that a wheel of the bicycle is located in a trap space of the carrier. The trap space is configured to maintain the bicycle in a substantially upright orientation when the wheel is located therein and the carrier is in a released configuration. This permits the operator to use both hands to secure the bicycle in the carrier. The wheel of the bicycle, and typically the front wheel, is fixed in the carrier by applying a squeeze force upon the wheel and thereby establishing a securing configuration of the carrier. Preferably, the squeeze force is imposed across a perimeter of the wheel and the actuators for imposing the squeeze force are positioned low enough to be within the typical user's reach, also referred to as the reach zone, when the carrier is mounted on the roof-top of a carrying vehicle.
