  • Patent number: 11808873
    Abstract: Systems and methods for locating tagged objects in remote regions are presented herein, in one embodiment, a method of locating tagged objects in remote regions includes creating a signal strength probability density map by. The method also includes transmitting first packets of data from at least one first tag to a plurality of stations and determining, by a plurality of stations, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) for received first packets of data. The method also includes transmitting, by the plurality of stations, the RSSI to an uplink node; and transmitting, by the uplink node, the RSSI to a database. The method further includes determining, by the database, the signal strength probability density map representative of probabilistic locations of the at least one first tag; and transmitting second packets of data from a second tag to the plurality of stations.

  • Publication number: 20060100357
    Abstract: Adhesive compositions comprising one or more polymerizable surfactant monomers as part of an emulsion polymer bond well to a wide spectrum of substrates that conventional adhesive have difficulty adhering to and have improved low temperature and high temperature performance as compared to conventional PSAs.

  • Publication number: 20050093707
    Abstract: A method for reducing false detects may include emitting an infrared light beam from a primary emitter to a primary monitor detector, measuring a first voltage value using a primary receive detector and setting a primary smoke alarm flag corresponding to a primary channel if the first voltage value is above a first threshold value. The method may also include measuring a second voltage value using a secondary receive detector, setting a secondary smoke alarm flag corresponding to a secondary channel if the second voltage value is above a second threshold value and setting an alarm indicating a smoke condition if the primary smoke alarm flag and the secondary smoke alarm flag are set.
