Publication number: 20230084106Abstract: A personal area network that includes a wearable electronic device, a system and methods of using the personal area network that includes a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device can act as an aggregator of the data that is being acquired by the one or more sensors and from other devices that are within wireless signal range of the personal area network in order to send some or all of the data over a wireless low power wide area network to remote locations within a larger network for subsequent processing, user notification, analysis of location-determination, contact tracing or the like. Data may flow in a bidirectional manner between the wearable electronic device and at least some of the other devices within the personal area network. In one form, the aggregated data may be used to control access to a hazard-prone environment in order to reduce the likelihood of exposure of a service technician to unsafe conditions within such environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Adam G. Sobol, Paul Sheldon, Harish Natarahjan, Joseph T. Kreidler, Brian A. Donlin, Jon G. Ledwith, Patrick J. McVey, Ross D. Moore, Peter Nanni, Dwayne D. Forsyth, Todd Sobol, John D. Reed, Reid B. Erekson, Sam H. Viesca, Steven L. Russek

Patent number: 11399601Abstract: A wristband locking mechanism for a wearable electronic device, a wristband, a wearable electronic device and a method of securing an article to a person. The wristband locking mechanism includes a clasp assembly with independently-operable spring-biased actuators such that the wristband locking mechanism cannot be unlocked using one hand. The use of sensors, processors, communication equipment and associated components within the wearable electronic device allows a caregiver to monitor one or more of location, environmental, physiological and activity data of a wearer of the device, while the requirement for two-handed operation for unlocking of the wristband locking mechanism provides a deterrent against intentional or unintentional removal of the attached article or wearable electronic device by the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: CareBand, Inc.Inventors: Adam G. Sobol, Jason R. Gebhardt, Joseph T. Kreidler, Brian A. Donlin, Jon G. Ledwith, Patrick J. McVey, Ross D. Moore, Peter Nanni, Dwayne D. Forsyth, Paul Sheldon, Todd Sobol, John D. Reed

Publication number: 20220039673Abstract: A wearable electronic device, a system and methods of monitoring with a wearable electronic device. The device includes a hybrid wireless communication module with wireless communication sub-modules to selectively acquire location data from both indoor and outdoor sources, as well as a wireless communication sub-module to selectively transmit an LPWAN signal to provide location information based on the acquired data. The device may also include one or more sensors to collect one or more of environmental data, activity data and physiological data. The device may transmit some or all of its acquired data to a larger system, including a cloud-based server to, in addition to providing location-based data, be used as a part of a predictive health care protocol to correlate changes in acquired data to salient indicators of the health of a wearer of the device. In one form, the predictive health care protocol uses a machine learning model.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: CareBand Inc.Inventors: Adam G. Sobol, Joseph T. Kreidler, Brian A. Donlin, Jon G. Ledwith, Patrick J. McVey, Ross D. Moore, Peter Nanni, Dwayne D. Forsyth, Paul Sheldon, Todd Sobol, John D. Reed

Patent number: 8699153Abstract: A device may include a magnifying lens having a focal length that defines a focal plane, a light source providing visible light directed toward the focal plane, and a controller. The controller may be programmed to receive a signal indicative of the distance from the device to an object, cause the light source to emit light at a first brightness if the distance is at least substantially equal to the focal length of the lens, and cause the light source to emit light at a second brightness, dimmer than the first brightness, if the distance is not at least substantially equal to the focal length of the lens.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2009Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Focus Brite, LLCInventors: W. Scott Tobey, Jeffrey J. Blanco, Dwayne D. Forsyth, Steven Devick
