Abstract: An alert system has a first device configured to be secured to a first person, a second device associated with a second person, and a computing system. The computing system is configured to determine when the first device has breached a first geofence associated with the second device and, upon determining the first device has breached the first geofence, alert the first device, the second device, and a third device. The first device is configured to, upon receiving an alert indicating the first geofence has been breached, emit an alert signal on the first device. The second device is configured to, upon receiving an alert indicating the first geofence has been breached, emit an alert signal on the second device.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring a living target has a lock, a tamper-evidencing mechanism, and a mechanism for monitoring a GPS location of the apparatus. The apparatus has a mechanism for determining the apparatus is within at least one of a first threshold distance from a second apparatus or a first threshold distance from a pre-set GPS location, and a mechanism for warning the living target. The apparatus has a mechanism for determining the apparatus is in a banned location. The apparatus has a mechanism for emitting a debilitating sound and a mechanism for visually marking the living target. The apparatus has a communication mechanism for communicating a GPS location of the living target to at least the second apparatus and a third apparatus responsive to the determining the apparatus is in the banned location.

Abstract: A monitoring system and related methods are disclosed. The system has a first apparatus associated with a living target, a second apparatus associated with a protected individual, and a third apparatus associated with a community individual. The first apparatus has a lock for fixing the first apparatus to the living target, a tamper-evidencing mechanism, mechanisms for monitoring a GPS location of the first apparatus, determining the first apparatus is within at least one of a first threshold distance from the second apparatus or a first threshold distance from a pre-set GPS location, warning the living target responsive to the determining the first apparatus is within the at least one of the first threshold distance from the second apparatus or the first threshold distance from the pre-set GPS location, determining the first apparatus is in a banned location, and emitting a debilitating sound.

Abstract: A system for alerting a victim of a presence of an offender, the system includes a first bracelet configured to be worn by the victim, the first bracelet including a first GPS receiver, a first wireless network transceiver, a speaker or a vibration motor, and a display element, wherein the first wireless network transceiver comprises a wireless cellular network transceiver or a WiFi transceiver. The system also includes a second bracelet configured to be worn by the offender. A cloud-based monitor system including a computing device and a memory configured to receive data from the first bracelet and the second bracelet and perform appropriate actions as necessary. Each bracelet may include a mechanical lock having at least a first fastener, a second fastener, and/or a third fastener, to provide, respectively, one, two or three levels of security for the device.

Abstract: A cuff link accessory for coupling a one piece cuff link with a shirt cuff button and button hole, and including a base member having opposed ends, a first hole section disposed at one end of the base member and a second hole section disposed at the opposed end of the base member. The first hole section is for engagement with a post of the cuff link, once inserted through button hole, and the second hole section is for engagement with the shirt cuff button.

Abstract: A second chance entry method for a ticket holder to remotely enter at least one ticket identifier by way of a remote input device to a main website that includes a computer-implemented data base. The method includes having the user register at the website; issuing a code card from the website; delivering the code card to the possession of the user; providing the remote input device with a camera for reading codes; scanning the code card at the camera of the input device to verify the authenticity of the user; and scanning at least one ticket by means of the camera of the input device.

Abstract: A gaming system for games, including roulette, wherein a projection system, preferably with a laser, is utilized for illuminating selected areas of the roulette game table in order to highlight the winning bets, enhance security, provide for a consistent signal for closing of the betting period, provide advertising, and/or display messages at selected time during or between play of the game determined by sensing the motion of the wheel and/or ball and table activity.

Abstract: A tracking system for ammunition cartridges where the cartridge casings are provided with serial indicia on an inside surface such that spent casing found at a crime scene can be tracked to the purchaser of the ammunition via a machine scannable system.
