  • Patent number: 11158181
    Abstract: A system for preventing wandering of an individual includes: a wearable alert device worn by the individual and including a controller, an antenna in communication with the controller, an alert component in communication with the controller for providing an alert to the wearer of the alert device, and a power supply in communication with the controller; and at least one base unit including a controller, the at least one base unit in communication with the alert device. When the alert device is determined to be in an area of caution in relation to the at least one bas unit, an alert is generated on the alert device that is perceptible to the wearer of the bracelet, the alert including one or more of arrhythmic vibrations and audible sounds.

  • Patent number: 10925257
    Abstract: A remote canine training devices includes: a speaker including a speaker controller and an antennas in electronic communication with the speaker controller; a remote including a controller, one or more memory modules in electronic communication with the controller, an antenna in electronic communication with the controller, a user input module in electronic communication with the controller for receiving handler commands, and computer readable instructions stored on the one or more memory modules and executable by the controller to transmit a command to the collar based on user input received on the user input module. When a user input is received on the user input module, the remote transmits a command stored on the one or more memory modules to the speaker and the speaker emits an audible command adjacent a canine wearing the speaker corresponding to the user input received on the remote.

  • Patent number: 10741048
    Abstract: A behavior modification system for deterring an individual from approaching a body includes: a bracelet worn by the individual and including a bracelet controller, an antenna in communication with the bracelet controller, an alert component in communication with the bracelet controller; a base unit including an antenna, a base speaker, and a controller in communication with the base speaker and antenna, the base unit configured to broadcast a predetermined caution zone around a proximity of the base unit. When the controller of the bracelet determines that the bracelet is located within the proximity of the base unit based on a signal received from the base unit on the bracelet, the alert component generates an alert to the wearer of the bracelet, the alert including one or more of arrhythmic vibrations and audible sounds that are unpleasant to an individual with ASD.
