  • Patent number: 11437805
    Abstract: In a method of warning of a hazardous electrical condition at a dock with wiring coupled to a voltage source via a dock breaker, an electric voltage between a ground and at least one of the dock frame or the water is detected. A plurality of voltage values of the electric voltage is stored. When at least two successive voltage values of the plurality voltage values exceeds a baseline safe voltage by a preset margin, then a shock warning signal is asserted, a dock breaker is opened and a shock warning indication is transmitted to a remote unit via a communication chipset. When at a voltage is sensed in the dock wiring system after the dock breaker has been opened, then a faulty dock breaker warning indication is transmitted to the remote unit via the communication chipset.

  • Patent number: 11389962
    Abstract: A robot system with a robot that has a camera, a monitor, a microphone and a speaker. A communication link can be established with the robot through a cellular phone. The link may include an audio only communication. Alternatively, the link may include audio and video communication between the cellular phone and the robot. The phone can transmit its resolution to the robot and cause the robot to transmit captured images at the phone resolution. The user can cause the robot to move through input on the cellular phone. For example, the phone may include an accelerometer that senses movement, and movement commands are then sent to the robot to cause a corresponding robot movement. The phone may have a touch screen that can be manipulated by the user to cause robot movement and/or camera zoom.

    Abstract: A two-way audiovisual communication device with multiple audio and video subsystems. In one embodiment, the device includes a wheeled cart that supports a dock for a tablet computing device that includes a tablet camera, a tablet display, and a tablet microphone. The device also includes a cart camera, a cart speaker, and a cart microphone. The device may be coupled to a network and accessible to other devices on the network to allow a two-way audiovisual session to take place between remote parties. The device may operate in two modes: In a first mode, the tablet is mated with the dock and the remote device receives video from the pan-tilt-zoom camera and audio from the cart microphone. In a second mode, the tablet is removed from the dock and the remote device receives video from the tablet camera and audio from the tablet microphone. In both modes, the tablet monitor displays video from the remote device.

  • Publication number: 20220216903
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and methods of fabricating can provide an axially symmetric high-density beamforming architecture. The beamforming architecture can include pluralities of symmetric beamforming layers having integrated electronics. The beamforming layers can be incrementally rotated and stacked with respect to each other in three-dimensions (3D) to provide a high-density topology capable of forming thousands of beams in a phased array antenna. The beamforming layers provide signal/beam pathways from a group (or sub-group) of signal interfaces on an input side of the beamforming layer to a corresponding group of signal interfaces on an output side of the beamforming layer. The beamforming architecture can also include a plurality of beam routing layers that mate with the plurality of beamforming layers to route the signals from a plurality of input beamforming layers to a plurality of output beamforming layers.

  • Patent number: 11379798
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing content related to electronic calendar events are presented. An electronic calendar event library may be maintained. One or more calendar events that meet threshold time criteria in relation to a current time may be identified. One or more rules may be applied to the identified events to determine whether contextual information and/or actions should be surfaced in relation to those events. In some examples, an event priority score may be calculated for each of the identified events. Contextual information and/or actions associated with events with event priority scores that exceed a threshold value may be surfaced. The contextual information and/or actions may be prioritized based on the event priority scores.

  • Patent number: 11032690
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a disaster event management system that can track location of employees and other affected during disaster events and other emergency situations and determine their safety status. The disaster event management system can determine when an emergency event has occurred, and determine which employees are likely to be affected by the emergency, based on their location at the time and other directory information. The system can provide an interface on user equipment devices operated by the employees (e.g., mobile devices, laptops, computers, tablets, etc.) to provide their status along with an identification code to verify their identification. In an embodiment, the system can prompt the user equipment devices to provide a status in response to determining that the employee may be affected by the emergency situation.
