  • Publication number: 20260025794
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring dispatch notification are disclosed. One method of providing notifications to a user includes, in response to receiving an alarm trigger from an alarm system from amongst multiple alarm systems being used to monitor respective locations, initiating a sequence of actions to be performed to protect the user of the alarm system. In response to a first action of the sequence of actions being initiated by a monitoring service, a first message indicating that the first action has been initiated may be generated and communicated via a communications network to a network address associated with the user. In response to at least one second action being initiated, at least one second message indicating that the second action has been initiated may be generated and communicated via the communications network to the network address associated with the user.

  • Publication number: 20250286947
    Abstract: Systems and methods for app-based event type detection are disclosed. One method for reporting an event may include displaying, on a user interface, one or more user-interactive feature(s) that are selectable by a user. In response to the user selecting one of the first user-interactive features, the method may further include displaying a plurality of second user-interactive features that are selectable by the user using a predetermined gesture. In response to the user selecting one of the second user-interactive features by performing the predetermined gesture, the method may include generating a message including an identifier indicative of the selected second user-interactive feature. The method may further include communicating, by the electronic device, the message including the identifier indicative of the selected second user-interactive feature to an event center.

  • Patent number: 12070725
    Abstract: A vacuum manifold for filtration microscopy includes a manifold top having multiple openings, and a capture membrane positioned above and spaced apart from the manifold top, where the capture membrane is configured to deflect into contact with a surface of the manifold top when a negative pressure is applied to the multiple openings. A method for filtration microscopy includes the steps of providing a vacuum manifold including a manifold top having a plurality of openings, and a capture membrane positioned above and spaced apart from the manifold top; applying sample drops to sample spots on the membrane, the sample spots positioned above the plurality of openings; applying a negative pressure to the openings such that the capture membrane contacts a surface of the manifold top; and optically imaging particulates on the capture membrane.
