Patent number: 10726689Abstract: Systems and methods for leveraging Internet-of-Things devices in security systems are provided. Such systems and methods can include receiving an alarm signal from a first IoT device responsive to the first IoT device detecting a sound indicative of an intrusion, requesting data from a second device responsive to receiving the alarm signal from the first IoT device, determining whether the data from the second device confirms the intrusion, and triggering an alarm responsive to the data from the second device confirming the intrusion.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: ADEMCO INC.Inventors: Robert John Probin, Martin Crisp, Deepu Paul

Patent number: 10140844Abstract: A security system incorporating one or more sensors and one or more smart devices connected together via the Internet, other network or media. The one or more smart devices may have an alarm application (app) that permits a user to set and unset an alarm, monitor a status change of an event, have access to video information associated with the event, take remote or local action relative to the event, and more. The processing may be more than moving processing to one smart device. Core control may reside in more than one device, and thus result in a whole system robustness.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Probin, Martin Crisp, William J. Brown

Patent number: 9767676Abstract: A security system including devices generating persistent data, a local control system (LCS) including a microprocessor and non-volatile memory and receiving persistent data from the devices, and a server remote from the LCS. The remote server is in communication with the LCS microprocessor which periodically transmits logical portions of persistent data (each including a timestamp) to the remote server where it is saved. The microprocessor also periodically saves the persistent data portions in LCS non-volatile memory less frequently than the persistent data portions are periodically saved in the remote data storage, and saves the timestamp in the local data storage for each persistent data portion saved only at the remote server. When rebooting the LCS, the microprocessor retrieves from the remote data storage only the persistent data portions having timestamps subsequent to the timestamp saved in the local data control system non-volatile memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2012Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Dougal Stanton, Robert John Probin, Martin Crisp, Kenneth Osborne, Alan Robert McWhirter

Patent number: 7869375Abstract: A method for predicting a fault in a wireless communication path between at least one transmitter and a receiver. The method comprises detecting an initial value of a characteristic of a reception signal or an initial value of a characteristic of a wireless communication path, calculating a running average of the same characteristic for preset period of time, comparing the initial value with the calculated running average; and displaying an indication based upon an analysis of the comparing. The indication is transmitted to a remote site for response. The characteristic can be signal strength, noise and a S/N ratio.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Martin Crisp, Paul Dagostino, Craig Fleming

Patent number: 4854027Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cartridge selectively for multicolor and single color ribbons is disclosed in which the cartridge body is formed with a projection to co-act with a ribbon shift mechanism on a printer to continuously shift a single color ribbon. When the cartridge is loaded with a multi-color ribbon, the projection is broken away and a selectively operable ribbon shift cam mechanism is mounted in the cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1988Date of Patent: August 8, 1989Assignee: Data Recording Instrument Company LimitedInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 4749293Abstract: A cassette for an inked ribbon has a ribbon storage region, in which the ribbon is stored in tightly packed random folds, between two parallel walls spaced apart by a distance slightly in excess of the width of the ribbon. The storage region is bounded by ridges projecting from one or both walls to retain the ribbon within the storage region. This has the advantage compared with side walls for the storage region of lower frictional constraint on the ribbon thereby allowing the ribbon to be more tightly packed in the storage region.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1987Date of Patent: June 7, 1988Inventors: Eric C. Beer, Martin Crisp

Patent number: 4729676Abstract: A ribbon cartridge for printing apparatus is provided selectively with a color selection mechanism, when the cartridge is loaded with a multi-color ribbon, operated by moving the printer-carriage to a position beyond the print line limit and with a peg arranged to engage a cam mechanism on the print carriage, when the cartridge is loaded with a single color ribbon, to enable the full width of the ribbon to be utilized. The peg is formed integrally with the cartridge and is removed when a multi color ribbon is to be loaded in the cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1985Date of Patent: March 8, 1988Inventors: Michael J. Smith, George R. W. Sully, Martin Crisp
