  • Patent number: 9507916
    Abstract: A container may include a secure chamber to hold a medication, a lockable lid that covers an opening of the secure chamber, a dispensing device, and one or more processors. The container may receive prescription information indicating a frequency to dispense the medication and indicating a dose of the medication to dispense at a dispense time. The container may determine the dispense time based on the frequency to dispense the medication. The dispense time may be a time to dispense a dose of the medication. The container may cause the dispensing device to dispense the dose of the medication from the secure chamber at the dispense time.

  • Patent number: 9392099
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include receiving, via a mobile access network, surveillance data from one or more mobile surveillance devices, wherein the one or more mobile surveillance devices are associated with a monitored location, system, or group. An event condition associated with the monitored location, system, or group is identified based on the received surveillance data, wherein the event condition corresponds to at least one of the one or more mobile surveillance devices. An alert notification is generated and transmitted to one or more user devices based on the event identified condition. A request to view at least a portion of the surveillance data is received from a user device in response to the alert notification. At least the portion of the surveillance data is transmitted to the user device in response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20150265860
    Abstract: A safety system includes a load detection sensor retrofitable on a safety hook, a transmitter arranged to convey a load status signal, processing means for analyzing the load status signal, a receiver for receiving the load status signal and being operably connected to the processing means, warning means arranged to generate notifications, and a power source for providing energy to the transmitter, the receiver, and the processing means. The load detection sensor is arranged to generate a load status signal which is sent by the transmitter to the receiver and then analyzed by the processing means so that when the load status signal indicates that a load is undetected or that the safety hook is connected, the warning means are either inactive or generate a first notification but when the pressure status signal indicates that a load is detected or that the safety hook is disconnected, the warning means generate a second notification.
