Abstract: An asset tracking system may include a bridge device that wirelessly receives beacon data from one or several beacons that are disposed at respective devices, equipment, furniture, people, and the like. The bridge device may send the beacon data to a server via a communication network. The server may analyze the beacon data, such that the locations of people or objects may be estimated and monitored, and/or sensor data corresponding to measurable attributes of people or objects may be accumulated and monitored. The location of the bridge device may be estimated using signal strength measurements of beacon signals received from room beacons in combination with corresponding room identifiers. Alerts may be sent by the server to a user device responsive to the server determining that a person or object is in an unauthorized location and/or that a value of monitored sensor data exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: A triage system that determines whether a user is likely to have contracted a disease based on sensor data received from a user device (e.g., a smartphone or activity tracker). Some symptoms are identified by comparing sensor data to a predetermined baseline and comparing the difference to a predetermined symptom threshold. Those comparisons are weighted to form a composite metric, which is compared to a composite threshold to determine if the user is likely to have contracted the disease. Because different individuals are at higher risk of contracting certain diseases, the determined based on specific characteristics of the user (e.g., potential comorbidities, age, gender, ethnic, racial, cultural, or economic status, geographic location, level of interaction with other individuals, etc.) that that have been identified in medical literature as increasing the individual's risk.

Abstract: Aspects discussed herein relate to providing alerts to a community of devices located in or near a geographic area such as a building or property. The alerts override any alert-inhibiting state of the mobile device to deliver audio, visual, and/or haptic alerts in emergency situations. The communication and emergency alert system may be used to communicate with many different communities of people. Moreover, certain individuals may be members of more than one community at the same time, and the communities themselves may change over time based both on the user's preferences and on their physical locations. Users may set their own preferences for how alerts are provided, such as customizing the visual and/or audible notifications provided for an alert.

The head-up display is configured to project an image on a projection member to cause a virtual image to be displayed in superimposed relation on a front view of the vehicle. The vehicle display control device determines a host vehicle situation as a road structure of a road on which a host vehicle is running, and controls to limit or not to limit a superimposed display of the virtual image with respect to a target object on which the virtual image is to be displayed in superimposed relation according to the host vehicle situation determined.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for detecting and initiating a response to an environmental anomaly in a shipping container. Generally, a system includes two sets of ID nodes within and outside the container and a command node mounted to the container. The command node is specially adapted to monitor the different sets of ID nodes for unanticipated non-broadcasting according to communication profiles for respective ID nodes in each set and detect an unresponsive group of ID nodes and what set of ID nodes the unresponsive ones are in. The command node identifies the anomaly when the number of unresponsive ID nodes exceeds a threshold setting, automatically generates an alert notification on the anomaly with an alert level setting based upon whether the unresponsive ID nodes are in the first and/or second set of ID nodes, and initiates a mediation response by transmitting the notification to the transit vehicle transceiver.

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.
