  • Patent number: 11138869
    Abstract: A detector 10 for an alarm system 100 is operable to monitor a monitored area for disturbances. The detector includes a first neural network which has been trained to discriminate false alarms which should not result in an alarm being triggered by the alarm system 100 in a normal mode of operation from disturbances for which an alarm should be triggered in the normal mode of operation. The detector 10 is configured to receive an input from a user instructing the detector 10 to enter a training mode. The input includes a categorization setting instructing the detector 10 to label subsequent disturbances recorded whilst the detector 10 is in the training mode as either disturbances indicative of a false alarm, or as disturbances for which the alarm should be triggered in the normal mode of operation.

  • Patent number: 11109818
    Abstract: This disclosure describes example alarm notification systems that can enable a clinician to respond to an alarm notification received via a computing device, which may have more advanced functionality than a pager. The clinician device may be a mobile device, such as a cellphone or smartphone, tablet, laptop, personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like. The clinician device may communicate with a remote server to obtain patient data generated by a patient device at the point-of-care (such as a bedside device or patient-worn monitor). This patient data may be continuous monitoring data for one or more patients. A mobile application (optionally a browser application) on the clinician device can enable the clinician to view continuous monitoring data for multiple patients, as well as view and respond to alarms and alerts, all from the clinician device, regardless of location.

  • Patent number: 11113965
    Abstract: For densely-populated cities in particular, finding suitable vehicle parking may often be problematic. Vehicles range widely in size and parking characteristics, drivers and passengers may have preferences and/or physical limitations for parking space features (such as needing a wide bay or to be within a certain proximity of a destination when they park due to limited mobility or due to delivery of a heavy or large item). According to aspects of the invention there is provided a computer-implemented system and method for dynamically serving parking space requests for a vehicle.
