Abstract: A location positioning system notifies of a message by a method according to a situation of a subject while grasping a location of the subject to be watched. The system includes a subject terminal carried by the subject, a server, a judgement unit, and a determination unit. The subject terminal transmits identification information for specifying a location of the terminal through a wireless communication and receives a message directed to the subject, and notifies the subject of reception of the message by at least one output method. The server specifies the location of the subject terminal based on the identification information. The judgement unit judges whether the subject is present indoors or outdoors, based on the location of the subject terminal specified by the server and the map information stored in advance. The determination unit determines an output method of notification by the subject terminal according to the judgement result.

Abstract: Generating authentication credentials includes receiving from a first user input identifying a customer identifier for an online account with a business or organization and a residential or business physical address, and sending via a network a notification to a first user system to follow instructions on a mail piece to be received by the first user. The mail piece is physically sent via a distribution network to the physical address and an online application is activated in response to scanning a coded indicia on the mail piece. Data indicative of an identity of the first user is received and the identity of the first user is verified based on at least information associated with the coded indicia and the received data. A recommendation is generated whether to approve the online account and an electronic credential is created for the first user based on acceptance of the online account.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a set of tools that enable traffic safety developments across multiple participants and industries, with location and other safety related data being shared in an anonymized fashion. Specifically, a location based server is provided that implements a vulnerable road user protocol. This vulnerable road user protocol avoids the use of global vehicle identification numbers and does not utilize persistent storage for such information, thereby mitigating location based privacy concerns. Further, the present disclosure provides a “hybrid” simulation engine that can be used to tailor and provide specific road user alerts, and specifies a risk assessment module that acts as a logic for quantifying the risk level associated with each unique road user relationship. Finally, the present disclosure provides an alert methodology for certain vulnerable road users based on noise-cancelling headphone and 3D audio algorithm technologies.

Abstract: A system, program product, and method are provided for leveraging cognitive systems and a digital twin computing system for facility evacuation, and, more specifically, to leveraging a trained cognitive system to automatically facilitate executing an effective evacuation during an emergency through a digital twin of the affected facility structure and digital twins of the evacuees. Digital twins for a structure and each occupant thereof are created through machine learning techniques. Environmental measurements representative of environmental conditions within a structure are collected. The structural digital twin predicts potential environmental conditions adverse to occupants within the structure. Evacuation routes for the occupants are determined and atmosphere pressures within the evacuation routes are modulated, thereby reducing the severity of the adverse environmental conditions within the evacuation routes to facilitate the evacuation of the occupants from the structure.

Abstract: A surgical cassette/pack usage tracker for tracking a number of uses for a cassette/pack to prohibit uses from exceeding a maximum amount. A usage tracker system engages with or scans a portion of the cassette/pack to determine the number of uses. In illustrative embodiments, an implement interacts with a film in the cassette after each use and determines remaining uses for the cassette/pack. In other embodiments, an implement interacts with a rotatable wheel that rotates with each use, the implement configured to permit the tracker to identify the number uses and determine remaining uses for the cassette/pack. When a maximum usage amount is reached, the tracker system may issue a warning, eject or reject the cassette/pack and/or disable the surgical device from further use.
