Abstract: Systems and methods for secure video devices are provided. A video device includes a privacy module that can be automatically or manually activated to obscure the field of view of the video device. The video device also includes a visual indicator for indicating when the camera has been activated, in order to alert individuals within view of the camera that the camera is active. The system can automatically detect when a privacy breach occurs (e.g., if an unauthorized user gains access to the camera) and can automatically activate the privacy module in response to the detected privacy breach in order to obscure the field of view of the camera and maintain the privacy of individuals within the field of view of the camera.

Abstract: An optical device, such as a camera, with an electrochromic lens cap is disclosed. The electrochromic lens cap is electrically switchable and thermally erasable and can reversibly and visibly change from an opaque state to a highly transparent state when a charge is applied to it. A power source such as a battery or photovoltaic cell can supply the charge. In addition, the electrochromic lens cap can reversibly change from an opaque state to a highly transparent state when there is a temperature change in the electrochromic lens cap's environment. The optical device has an actuator and/or transceiver that can communicate with a remote device to control when and how the charge is applied to the electrochromic lens cap to change it to the opaque state, color, pattern, or other feature. Another feature of this invention is using the electrochromic lens cap as a neutral-density filter for an optical device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a home security device assembly for mailing by direct mail package. The home security device assembly includes a first panel. The first panel is characterized by rectangular shape. The first panel includes a ledge extending from a first side of the first panel. The first panel includes a hollow circular tapered intrusion. The home security device assembly includes a second panel. The second panel is characterized by rectangular shape. Dimensions of rectangular shape of the second panel are identical to corresponding dimensions of rectangular shape of the first panel. The second panel includes a continuous ledge extending from three sides of the second panel. The home security device assembly includes an electrical components sub-assembly. The substantially cuboidal housing encapsulates a first section of the electrical component sub-assembly. The electrical component sub-assembly includes at least one sensor.

Abstract: A crib safety sheet and separable blanket with a sheet portion for selectively removing at least the blanket from the sheet, when the sheet is attached to a sleep surface. The separable blanket defining at least two edges for wrapping the blanket about an infant. The blanket may be removed from the sheet by separating the blanket, or by separating a sheet material portion attached to the blanket, from the sheet covering the sleep surface.

Abstract: A crib safety sheet/blanket with a sheet portion having a front surface and a back surface two opposing ends defining pockets for snugly fitting the sheet to a mattress. A blanket is sewn along its midline to the center of the fitted sheet, defining two blanket halves. Mating strips of hook and loop fastening material are attached to the two halves of the blanket, so that an infant may be placed on the blanket with the two halves of the blanket wrapped around the infant and fastened to retain the infant in a supine position. A plurality of elastic straps may extend across the bottom of the fitted sheet and be removably secured to the side of the sheet with mating strips of hook and loop fastening material to retain the sheet on the mattress.

Abstract: A crib safety sacklike device is provided, having one open end adapted to removably contain a mattress or the like. A blanket is sewn along its midline to the center of the sacklike device, defining two blanket halves. Mating strips of hook and loop fastening material are attached to the two halves of the blanket, so that an infant may be placed on the blanket with the two halves of the blanket wrapped around the infant and fastened to retain the infant in a supine position.
