  • Patent number: 11967238
    Abstract: A vehicle detection system warns snowmobilers of other approaching vehicles with potential risk of collision. To better prevent accidents, the system calculates collision risks and warns the rider based on level of risk. When riding in groups, a member can press a stop request button to ask the group to slow down. When a member exits the group, everyone in the group will receive a message, alerts or indication with the update. The vehicle detection system utilizes Bluetooth® low energy (BLE), LoRaWAN® technologies and/or global positioning system technologies and is designed to detect other devices in the region and use acquired information to calculate proximity and risk of collision.

  • Patent number: 11966502
    Abstract: A digital file forensic accounting and management system collects forensic data for a digital file that is stored and accounted for in a datastore. The digital files and the associated forensic data may be retrieved from the datastore by a third party to verify the authenticity of the digital file. An interface program is utilized to collect forensic data about a file upon creation of the file and/or when the file is transferred to the datastore. An interface program may be a framework that is operated on a file producing program that a file provider used to create a digital file. An interface program may be an origination driver that is operated on the file providing computer. An interface program may be a directory monitoring program that transfers the digital file and forensic data to the datastore upon saving the file to the monitored directory.
