Abstract: A system for generating automated notifications by aggregating data to provide alerts to interdict at-risk conduct. In the system, an aggregator application accesses a plurality data sources addressing at-risk conduct. The aggregator application generates reports of incidents of at-risk conduct by specific individuals and stores the reports in a database. A dynamic risk computation engine scores each individual for their risk of engaging in at-risk conduct according to metadata on contacts of that individual within the plurality of data sources. Any individual having a score exceeding a pre-determined threshold triggers an alarm and a notification is provided in real time to competent authorities to allow a responsible person to make a timely intervention.

Abstract: Systems and methods limit communication of redundant telematics data in V2X systems. A communications management device receives telematics data from multiple sources in a service area and calculates a trajectory each of the objects identified by the telematics data. The communications management device selects high vulnerability trajectories based on the calculated trajectories and identifies when the telematics data from different sources, of the multiple sources, corresponds to a same vehicle. When duplicate sources are determined to provide tracking data corresponding to the same vehicle, the communications management device reports (to a collision avoidance system) the tracking data from only the most accurate of the duplicate sources.

Abstract: A gas monitoring and alarm system comprises a master monitor and at least one remote monitor. The master monitor is coupled to a master sensor that senses a concentration of a gas in a first area and sends data to the master monitor. The at least one remote monitor is communicatively coupled to the master monitor. The least one remote monitor is coupled to a remote sensor, which senses a concentration of gas in a second area. The at least one remote monitor receives data about the concentration of the gas in the second area from the remote sensor, and sends the data to the master monitor. The master monitor receives the data and triggers a first alarm status when the concentration of gas in at least one of the first area and the second area exceeds a first predefined alarm threshold.

Abstract: A system, method and device for notifying designated recipients about a personal emergency. An individual maintains a personal emergency alert device (PEAD) in accessible proximity. The PEAD is activated by onboard or remote sensor(s) in proximity to the PEAD. The sensor(s) monitor the occurrence of an emergency activation event. PEAD includes a controller. The controller, triggered by detection of an emergency event by a sensor, activates a geolocation module to obtain geolocation information, formulates an alert message, establishes a network connection, and transmits the message with geolocation information to a personal emergency alert notification service (PEANS). PEANS responds by sending a text, email or other emergency notification to designated notification recipient(s). Once activated, PEAD periodically tracks and transmits its geolocation until it runs out of power. Alternatively, PEAD can be deactivated by sending a deactivation code to the PEANS, which in turn instructs such PEAD to deactivate.

Abstract: A system and method for method for testing an energy harvesting tag, comprising: transmitting a harvesting signal to an energy harvesting tag at time T1; receiving a response signal from the energy harvesting tag at time T2; determining a capacitor charging time of the energy harvesting tag as a difference between T2 and T1; and assigning a pass value to the energy harvesting tag when the capacitor charging time is less than a predetermined threshold amount.

Abstract: The Access and Temperature Monitoring system (ATMs) checks the identity and health of persons seeking access to a facility, building, event, airport border, or controlled area. It quickly checks the person's identity by recognizing the person, for example, by facial recognition, or by reading a unique token the person has, such as a smart card. If the person seeking access is recognized, the system quickly checks the health of the person. For example, a contactless measuring of core temperature is taken and is then compared to an on-file core temperature of the individual to see if it is elevated. If elevated, a secondary check is made by a precision medical instrument and compared to the precision data on file. Networking ATMs together to an Access Control Center will further assist in identifying virus outbreaks and reduce response time to assist in saving lives.

Abstract: The technology relates to detecting and responding to emergency vehicles. This may include using a plurality of microphones to detect a siren noise corresponding to an emergency vehicle and to estimate a bearing of the emergency vehicle. This estimated bearing is compared to map information to identify a portion of roadway on which the emergency vehicle is traveling. In addition, information identifying a set of objects in the vehicle's environment as well as characteristics of those objects is received from a perception system is used to determine whether one of the set of objects corresponds to the emergency vehicle. How to respond to the emergency vehicle is determined based on the estimated bearing and identified road segments and the determination of whether one of the set of objects corresponds to the emergency vehicle. This determined response is then used to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode.

Abstract: A reference identification unit identifies a target reference position to be a reference from a position history indicated in target information, based on a movement state of a target object, and identifies a nearby reference position to be a reference from a position history indicated in nearby information, based on a movement state, estimated from the nearby information, of a nearby object which is a mobile object present in the vicinity of the target object. A position estimation unit estimates a relative position between the target object and the nearby object, based on the target reference position and the nearby reference position.
