  • Patent number: 12254757
    Abstract: Described herein relates to a system and method for system of and method for optimizing real-time workplace safety monitoring by facilitating hazard avoidance within an industrial environment. In an embodiment, the global access protection (hereinafter “GAP”) system may comprise a computing device comprising at least one processor, such that the computing device may be communicatively coupled to at least one Global Positioning System (hereinafter “GPS”) system. Additionally, in this embodiment, the computing device may be integrated within the at least one beacon and/or the at least one receiver. In this manner, the at least one beacon and/or at least one receiver may be configured to output and/or input a GPS, RTK GPS, and/or any positioning system known in the art, such that the GAP system may be configured to determine a distance between the at least one beacon and the at least one receiver within the industrial environment.

  • Patent number: 8361261
    Abstract: A method of assembling a secondary containment liner includes providing at least a pair of uncoated, impermeable sheet components. Respective substrate elements are secured to corresponding edges of the sheet components such that the substrate elements overlap the corresponding edges of the respective sheet components. The substrate elements are themselves overlapped and an impermeable coating is applied to the overlapping substrate elements to sealably bond the adjoining sheet components to one another and thereby define an assembled liner.
