  • Patent number: 10593074
    Abstract: Responsive to receiving an indication of a geographical area, one or more constituent areas associated with the geographical area are identified. Boundary data corresponding to the constituent areas is accessed. The boundary data for each constituent area comprises a plurality of geographical location points defining line segments that define the boundary of the corresponding constituent area. Unique portions of line segments are identified. A unique portion of a line segment is a portion of a line segment defined in the boundary data of one and only one of the constituent areas. The geographical area boundary layer is defined. The geographical boundary layer comprises a set of line segments consisting of the unique portions of line segments. A geographical map is provided for display via a user interface. The geographical map comprises a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers comprise one or more map layer sand the geographical area boundary layer.

  • Patent number: 10094170
    Abstract: A warning circuit for use on ladders includes a first sensor responsive to the placement of a first of a user's feet thereon and a second sensor responsive to the placement of a second of the user's feet thereon. The second sensor is electrically connected in series to the first sensor, and a relay is electrically connected in series to one of the first and second sensors. A power source has a power output terminal electrically connected in series to the other of the sensors connected in series. A sound device is electrically connected to a load output of the relay and to the power source. The load output of the relay is energized only when the first sensor is activated prior to activation of the second sensor whereupon the load output then energizes the sound device.
