  • Patent number: 9633540
    Abstract: The defecation control system process disclosed herein includes activating a communication circuit of at least one ingestible tracker having a size and shape for travel to a rectum of a host and a transmission circuit of a monitor fixable to the host at a substantially constant distance relative to the rectum, generating at least one tracking distance based at least in part on communication between the communication circuit of the ingestible tracker and the transmission circuit of the monitor, comparing the tracking distance to a predetermined trigger distance stored in a database, and activating an electronic accessory when the tracking distance is within a predetermined threshold of the trigger distance.

  • Publication number: 20090201141
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing threats from specific passengers and reducing the risk of bodily injury in the event of a threat aboard a multi-passenger commercial vehicle. The present system evaluates the latched status of a multitude of seat belts, reporting same to either a fixed position panel, or one or more portable units. The fixed panel provides the information to cabin crew members, thereby reducing the number of times they must traverse the cabin to physically inspect seat belts. In the event of a disturbance, it can be presumed that all passengers with fastened seat belts are a non-threat, while those unsecured are more likely to pose a threat. The portable receiver units can be used by sky marshal personnel to surreptitiously monitor the status of all seat belts without revealing their task of threat control.
