  • Human safety indicator
    Patent number: 9501918
    Abstract: A human safety system includes a circuit including at least one power source; a temperature probe in communication with the circuit; at least one use detector in communication with the circuit; and an alert indicator in communication with the circuit. A method of measuring a temperature of a user includes determining whether at least one use detector is active; determining a user temperature based on sensed temperature; and determining whether the user temperature is within an allowable range.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 22, 2016
    Assignee: Safetyminded Holdings, Inc.
    Inventors: Charles Mack Gouge, Darrel Self
  • Human safety indicator
    Patent number: 9183719
    Abstract: A human safety system includes a circuit including a microcontroller and at least one power source; a probe in communication with the circuit; at least one use detector in communication with the circuit; and at least one alert indicator in communication with the circuit. A method of using a human safety device, the method includes initiating operation of the human safety device; arranging the human safety device in communication with skin; and monitoring the human safety device for alert indicators. A method of monitoring a user includes waking from sleep state; sensing at least one condition of the user; determining if the sensed condition is in a human condition; continuously monitoring the condition of the user; and, returning to sleep state when the user condition is outside of the human condition for an amount of time.
