  • Publication number: 20190266883
    Abstract: A method to send emergency alerts to 911 first responders specifies category of emergency and level of threat. A user can choose one of the emergency categories including police, fire, medical, and marine, and one of various levels of threat such as low, medium, high, and life-threatening for each category of emergency. Then the user sends the alert to the 911 first responder together with the user specific personal information including name, physical address, GPS coordinates, contact phone number, emergency contact person's name and phone number, relationship of the emergency contact person to the user, etc. The 911 first responder can dispatch the corresponding emergency personnel to the user's address and can connect to the user and view the user's surroundings through the camera of the user's personal computing (PC) device. The system and method can be used in a home, outdoors such as a park, a public building such as library, school, beach, boat, etc.

  • Publication number: 20180033340
    Abstract: A label assembly including a face sheet, a back sheet, and a layer of an adhesive positioned between the face sheet and the back sheet. A separation line divides the label assembly into at least two portions. The separation line is formed by a first tearable line of separation extending across the back sheet and a second tearable line of separation extending across the face sheet. The first tearable line of separation is offset with respect to the second tearable line of separation, and at least one of the first and second tearable lines of separation includes a non-linear portion directed toward and/or an angled portion extending at an angle to an other of the at least one of the first and second tearable lines of separation.

  • Patent number: 8272669
    Abstract: A label assembly that includes a face sheet with at least one label shape defined by one or more tearable lines of separation, a back sheet adjacent to the face sheet, and an adhesive material disposed between the face sheet and the back sheet. The back sheet has a removable panel disposed over the label shape adhesive material and a registration tab aligned with the label shape. The registration tab includes a foldable portion that when folded provides rigidity when the tab is used as a supporting leg to place the label assembly over an object during labeling.

  • Patent number: 7874594
    Abstract: A label assembly including a carrier sheet and label sheets, including a first sheet and a second sheet and defining at least one label portion. The label portion is adhesively bonded to the carrier sheet and removable with respect to the carrier sheet. A label comprises a first sheet having a first outer periphery and a second sheet having a second outer periphery. The first outer periphery may be coextensive with the second outer periphery. At least a portion of the first sheet is adhesively bonded to the second sheet by a first adhesive. The label further includes a second adhesive at least partially covering a back surface of the label. When the label is in a mounted position with respect to an object, the second adhesive contacts a surface of the object. Voids and/or openings within the label, or any part thereof, may be aligned with or over certain areas on a surface of an object to allow visual and/or physical access to such areas on the surface of the object.
