  • Publication number: 20240148264
    Abstract: A occupant detection and monitoring system has a sensor unit having a radio wave transmitter, a radio wave receiver, and a wireless transmitter configured to detect and receive vital signs of an occupant; a user interface having a microcontroller, a wireless receiver configured to receive the wireless signals transmitted from the sensor unit, a means for user input, and a network card; and a means for alerting occupants and third-parties to a triggering event; wherein the microcontroller, based upon logic, activates the alerting means at the triggering event. The sensor unit may be a camera that detects the presence of an individual and register their unique heart rhythm for identification purposes. This camera can be installed at the entry points of a home, behind the counter of a business near a cash register or at a bank or any other place that desires to use surveillance as a form of security. The sensor unit may be a light bulb that comprises the components of the sensor unit.

  • Publication number: 20240061382
    Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of receiving data from a sensor related to a user occupying a surface, responsive to the received data, detecting a condition above a threshold of the user, responsive to the detected condition above the threshold, modifying at least one compartment of the surface, comparing a current condition of the user to the detected condition, and responsive to the current condition below the threshold, setting the modified at least one compartment of the surface at a fixed level.

  • Patent number: 10145972
    Abstract: Many embodiments provide a hybrid data processing system (HySDS) of an end-to-end geodetic imaging data system enabling near-real-time science, assessment, response, and rapid recovery. The HySDS may be an operation data processing system that integrates data from many different geodetic data sources and/or sensors, including interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), GPS, pixel tracking, seismology, and/or modeling, and processes the data to generate actionable high quality science data products. The HySDS may provide for an automated imaging and analysis capabilities that is able to handle the imminent increases in raw data from new and existing geodetic monitoring sensor systems.

  • Publication number: 20180050575
    Abstract: A living vehicle occupant detection system has a control unit that is mounted within a vehicle, a temperature sensor which is mounted within the interior passenger compartment of the vehicle and is communicatively coupled (either wired or wirelessly) to the control unit, and a life detection unit that will indicate the presence and location of a heartbeat within the interior of the vehicle and that is communicatively coupled (either wired or wirelessly) to the control unit. A carbon monoxide (CO) sensor may also be installed within the interior of the vehicle to optimize CO detection and is coupled (either wired or wirelessly) to the control unit.
