  • Micro-movement and gesture detection using radar
    Patent number: 11918331
    Abstract: A movement detection device includes a signal transmission device configured to transmit a radar signal transmission toward a target area and to receive reflected radar signals, and a signal analysis device configured to analyze the reflected radar signals to detect a movement in the target area that is indicative of micro-shivering. In response to detecting the micro-shivering, the movement detection device generates an alarm.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 5, 2024
    Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.
    Inventors: Steven D. Baker, Jennifer Bergstrom, Heinz-Hermann Dalbert, Brandon P. Fisk, Yongji Fu, Michael S. Hood, Charles A. Lachenbruch, John A. Lane, Kenzi L. Mudge, Matthew O'Neal, Frank E. Sauser, Douglas A. Seim, Gregory J. Shannon

  • Methods and compositions comprising steroid honey bee feeding inhibitors
    Patent number: 9700052
    Abstract: Applicants have discovered novel steroid feeding inhibitors for Apis sp. that can be used in connection with traditional insecticide, pesticide, fungicide or other pest management protocols. The rapid decline of Apis sp. is devastating to the many crops which rely upon the bees, particularly honey bees (Apis melliofera) for pollination. Further it has been postulated that colony collapse disorder, may be the result of unintended ingestion by honey bees of insecticide, pesticide, fungicide compositions applied to nearby feeding sources for the bees. Thus, honey bee feeding inhibitors can be used in a pest management system to prevent unintended consequences to honey bees.
