  • Publication number: 20230314347
    Abstract: A handheld or portable x-ray imaging system includes a housing containing an x-ray source for generating a sweeping beam, and an external detector panel mounted onto a positioning arm to allow an operator to position the external detector panel relative to the housing. The detector panel may have a width of between 1 inch and 18 inches. Embodiments allow for portable x-ray scanning in locations that can otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach with existing handheld detectors.

  • Patent number: 9875636
    Abstract: A collision sensor assembly is attachable to a stationary structure such as a pallet rack, a door frame, the corner of a wall, or the like. The collision sensor is configured to sense when a collision occurs with the stationary structure such as when a piece of movable machinery contacts the stationary structure. The collision sensor assembly includes a sensor operatively connected to a processor which determines when a collision occurs, and produces a signal to an output signal generator to provide an external indication of the collision.

  • Patent number: 9336666
    Abstract: A corner sensor assembly includes a housing having at least one magnet attached thereto, wherein the magnets allow the corner sensor assembly to be readily attached and relocated to corner structures within a building. The assembly includes at least one motion sensor for detecting motion within two opposing fields of monitoring. At least one visual indicator is activated when the motion sensors detect motion within both fields of monitoring and are deactivated when no motion is sensed in at least one of the fields of monitoring. The assembly includes an integrated power supply located within the housing.

  • Publication number: 20150046301
    Abstract: The present application describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for community-based usage monitoring. An overall service usage, such as an average daily usage for a plurality of subscribers is determined. A service usage for a particular subscriber of the plurality of subscribers is also determined, such as an average daily usage. A metric is determined that indicates a comparison of the service usage to the overall service usage. The metric may be a percentile, standard deviation, or other comparison of the subscriber's usage relative to the overall usage. An indication of the metric is transmitted to a device associated with the first subscriber. Where the subscriber's relative usage exceeds a threshold, an alert is generated flagging the subscriber for action to reduce usage.
