  • Patent number: 12635744
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of a biometric sensor of a tactical gear to monitor health and stress of a wearer. In one embodiment, personal protective equipment includes a language translator module integrated in a tactical gear, a biometric sensor, and a responsive device integrated in the tactical gear. A wearer bi-directionally communicates with an individual in an ambient environment using any language other than a primary language spoken by the wearer when the language translator module is activated. The biometric sensor detects the health condition of the wearer. The responsive device vibrates to notify the wearer when the biometric sensor detects an elevated stress level of the wearer of the tactical gear. The biometric sensor is detachable from the tactical gear and placeable on an injured person nearby to the wearer through an armband extendable from the biometric sensor when it is removed from the tactical gear.

  • Patent number: 12602971
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus, system, and method of a visual sensor of a tactical gear to use facial recognition technology to identify a person of interest and to cause a responsive device on the tactical gear to notify a wearer. In one embodiment, a personal protective equipment includes a responsive device integrated in a tactical gear and a visual sensor. The visual sensor of the tactical gear identifies a target person using an identity artificial intelligence model. The responsive device notifies a wearer of the tactical gear when the visual sensor identifies the target person. Further, the responsive device notifies an additional person when the visual sensor identifies a threat to a protectee of the wearer and the additional person. The responsive device may vibrate when the visual sensor of the tactical gear detects an ambient threat to the protectee of the wearer.

  • Patent number: 12567282
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of a corrections officer tactical gear using computer vision to notify of an ambient threat. In one embodiment, a personal protective equipment includes a responsive device integrated in a tactical gear and a visual sensor of the tactical gear to identify an inmate using an inmate artificial intelligence model. The responsive device notifies a wearer of the tactical gear when the visual sensor identifies an ambient threat to the wearer and/or the inmate. A geo-location device may identify a present location of the wearer when the visual sensor identifies the inmate. When the visual sensor identifies the inmate, a present location of the wearer may be transmitted from the tactical gear to a command center of a correctional facility (e.g., may also identify a distance away and/or a location of the inmate from the present location of the wearer).

  • Patent number: 5041967
    Abstract: A computer hardware (FIG. 1) and software (FIG. 2) system uses a plurality of multilevel, hierarchical menus (FIG. 3) to access basic system capabilities. The menu system is made flexible, and responsive to the needs of individual users by means of a menu table (FIGS. 4 and 7) containing the menu entry text for all menus, the identity of the menu on which the entry is to appear, and the action to be taken if that menu entry is selected. The menu table can be edited by the user (15) in response to local needs and is used to generate (FIG. 5) all menus of the menu system dynamically, on the fly, as needed. In one embodiment, the menu table is broken up into separate tables for each menu level. In another embodiment, secondary menu item selection criteria are added to the menu table entries to further condition menu entry selection on user attributes such as geography or time.
