  • Patent number: 9852607
    Abstract: A personal alert device for sending a panic signal and location coordinates includes a housing that defines an internal space. An inlet is positioned in a first end of the housing. The first end is configured to position between lips of a user. An outlet is positioned in the housing such that air passing from the inlet through the internal space and exiting through the outlet generates a whistling sound. A wall, coupled to the housing and positioned in the internal space, defines a compartment. An electronics module positioned in the compartment is configured to wirelessly communicate, to receive location coordinates, and to be activated by a user blowing air through the inlet. The housing emits the whistling sound and the electronics module is compelled to wirelessly communicate the panic signal and the location coordinates to at least one cellular phone and to emergency response personnel.

  • Publication number: 20150183580
    Abstract: A traceable fluid delivery system includes a plurality of spaced apart metallic identification members coupled to a non-metallic pipe member. A plurality of traceable water pipes may be coupled together and buried to create an underground water or sewage system. A metal detector may be used to locate and mark the location of the metallic identification members. By marking the location of each metallic identification member, the location of the traceable water pipe can be ascertained so that damage to the underground water or sewage system can be avoided when digging in the area. The traceable delivery system may include a storage tank coupled to respective metallic identification members.
