  • Patent number: 9766329
    Abstract: A wireless alarm and location system and method of locating an object are provided. The system includes a transceiver contained within a housing enclosure. At least one activation element is located at least partially within the housing enclosure. At least a first omnidirectional signal is communicated from the transceiver upon activation of the activation element. An alarm and location element is positioned remote from the housing enclosure, wherein the alarm and location element receives the first omnidirectional signal and calculates a location of the housing enclosure.

  • Patent number: 9404998
    Abstract: A computerized device for use with an object location system and method thereof is provided. The computerized device includes at least one processor in communication with a memory device, the memory device storing a quantity of programmable code having a plurality of processor-executable instructions. A communication element is connected between the processor and at least one monitoring unit. The at least one monitoring unit is positioned remote from the computerized device and a locating circuit substantially secured to an object intermittently communicates an omnidirectional signal to the at least one monitoring unit. A calculator is in communication with the processor. The calculator directs the processor to determine a duration of transmission time of the omnidirectional signal communicated from the locating circuit to the at least one monitoring unit directs the processor to calculate a location of the locating circuit using the determined duration of transmission time of the omnidirectional signal.
