  • Publication number: 20240060948
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a system, method, and apparatus with features that allow hosts to be alerted of risks to the well-being of their space that may arise, for example, from a breach of contract, violation of local laws, or violation of established property rules. In one example an air analyzer is provided that includes: (1) multiple sensors including one or more of a digital multi-pixel gas sensor, a digital humidity and temperature sensor, or a particulate matter sensor, wherein each of the multiple sensors is configured to obtain a sample of air and derive therefrom an environmental attribute, wherein the environmental attributes provide a signature of the sampled air, and (2) a smoke classifier configured to classify a smoking event by comparing the signature of sampled air to signatures of a classification model.

  • Publication number: 20230334973
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to using anonymized audio data for monitoring properties. Disclosed herein are monitoring systems for properties and a method of monitoring properties. One example of a method of monitoring a property includes: (1) deriving at least one raw signal from noise proximate one or more noise detectors at the property, (2) generating a noise score from the at least one raw signal, the noise score being insufficient to reproduce a content of the raw signal, and (3) generating, based on the noise score and at least one or more other factors, a risk score for the property that has a value representing a risk of damage to the property, wherein the factors include an expected occupancy at the property and reservation data for the property.

  • Patent number: 11682286
    Abstract: A noise monitoring device and a method of monitoring a location are disclosed. In one example, the noise monitoring device includes: (1) a microphone configured to detect noise proximate the noise monitoring device and derive raw data therefrom, and (2) a processor configured to determine when at least a portion of the raw data exceeds a threshold during a time period. In one example, the method of monitoring a location includes: (1) deriving raw data from noise proximate a noise monitoring device at the location, (2) comparing, for a designated period of time, at least a portion of the raw data to a threshold, and (3) determining an occurrence of an event at the location based on the comparing.

  • Publication number: 20230127923
    Abstract: A hole-saw, including a sidewall and an endcap, is provided. The endcap includes projections that fit within notches of the sidewall to form a brazed or welded joint that couples the endcap to the cylindrical sidewall. The projections extend through the notches and are brazed or welded to the base of the sidewall. The endcap couples to the sidewall to form a cylindrical hole saw body. The endcap rotates and supports the hole-saw during operation.

  • Publication number: 20220072630
    Abstract: A tool, such as a hole saw, including an open end cap geometry is provided. The end cap includes spokes extending between a hub and a rim. A plurality of openings are defined between the spokes, hub and rim. The area of the openings is substantially large relative to the area of the end cap such that the end cap is relatively lightweight and provides access into the hole saw for debris removal. The spokes are shaped and positioned to provide strength to the end cap.
