  • Patent number: 12298455
    Abstract: The invention disclosed provides a network of master controller and node arrays which all communicate with a system server, a client device and an administrator device. Each of the master controller and node arrays is equipped with an ERT system, and various seismic sensors to monitor a geographic perimeter for surface and sub-surface trigger events. Upon detection of a trigger event, each of the master controller and node arrays executes a sensor monitoring routine to determine the approximate path of travel, velocity, acceleration of the trigger event. The master controller and node arrays further conduct an ERT survey to determine the presence of anomalies which may indicate sub-surface activity related to the trigger event.

  • Patent number: 11726491
    Abstract: A material handling vehicle guidance system comprises a first conductive member, a second conductive member, and an electrical current source. The second conductive member is electrically coupled to the first conductive member and extends parallel to the first conductive member to define a loop. The first conductive member and second conductive member are coupled to a shielded cable connector. The electrical current source supplies current to the first conductive member in a first direction and supplies current to the second conductive member in a second direction opposite the first direction to produce a narrowcast radio frequency signal detectable between the first conductive member and the second member.
