  • Patent number: 11823802
    Abstract: An example system for monitoring an occupant of a room includes an enclosure, a speaker plate, a speaker, an infrared illuminator, a camera, and a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) splitter. The enclosure is mountable within an interior surface of the room. The speaker plate is removably positionable within the enclosure, and includes a speaker opening and an illuminator opening. The speaker is positioned within the speaker opening and mounted to the speaker plate. The infrared illuminator is positioned within the illuminator opening and mounted to the speaker plate. The PoE splitter is configured to: receive power and data over a first Ethernet cable, provide power to the speaker, the infrared illuminator, and the camera; and output the data to the camera over a second Ethernet cable. The camera is configured to send an audio signal to the speaker over an audio cable.

  • Patent number: 11319093
    Abstract: Deployable reflector system includes a boom which is extended from a rigid base. A reflector support structure is secured to a carrier end of the boom opposed from the base. The reflector support structure is configured to transition from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration. A tension element coupled at one end to the reflector support structure extends along a length of the boom to the base. The tension element is tensioned as a result of extending the boom, whereby a tension force is provided. The reflector support structure is transitioned from the collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration responsive to the tension force, whereby the same actuator mechanism that extends the boom also expands the reflector support structure.

  • Patent number: 10797400
    Abstract: A reflector system includes a hoop assembly formed of a plurality of link members extending between a plurality of hinge bodies. The link members have an expanded configuration wherein the link members define a circumferential hoop having a central hoop axis. A collapsible mesh reflector surface is secured to the hoop such that when the hoop assembly is in the expanded configuration, the reflector surface is expanded to a shape that is intended to concentrate RF energy. A mast assembly includes an extendible boom aligned along a central boom axis. The hoop assembly is secured by a plurality of cords relative to the boom such that when the hoop is expanded, a central hoop axis is laterally offset a predetermined distance from the central boom axis.
