  • Patent number: 11962958
    Abstract: A system and a computer-implemented method for providing responder information are disclosed herein. The method includes receiving, via a computing device, a sensor data generated by one or more safety devices corresponding to one or more responders. The computer-implemented method further includes analyzing, via the computing device, the sensor data to generate an analyzed sensor data. The computer-implemented method further includes establishing, via an application programming interface (API), a direct communication link between the computing device and at least one server or establishing, via a local application, a direct communication link between the computing device and at least one third party server. The computer-implemented method further includes transmitting, via the computing device, the analyzed sensor data to the at least one server or transmitting, via the computing device, the analyzed sensor data to the at least one third party server.

  • Publication number: 20240056688
    Abstract: A thermal imaging system for use with a respirator mask comprising an in-mask display unit, and methods of configuring and operating such a system. The system uses a thermal imaging camera to capture a thermal image. The system is configured with the capability to shift from a default view in which an in-mask micro-display of the in-mask display unit shows a primary subimage of the captured thermal image but does not show a secondary subimage of the captured thermal image, to an auxiliary view in which the secondary subimage is now shown in place of at least a portion of the primary subimage.

  • Publication number: 20230314544
    Abstract: A tracker device for a first responder including a radio configured to receive a first radio signal from an emitter, and receive a second radio signal from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The second radio signal includes at least one data packet including location information associated with the emitter. Processing circuitry in communication with the radio is configured to determine at least one location parameter associated with the emitter based on the first radio signal and the location information of the at least one data packet of the second radio signal.
