  • Patent number: 11282536
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a gunshot event are disclosed. More particularly, systems and methods for detecting a gunshot event using the ultrasonic frequency distribution across a broad range of frequencies resulting from a gun's muzzle blast to determine whether an actual gunshot event has occurred and to minimize false positives and false negatives are disclosed. Yet further, systems and methods for determining the location of an actual gunshot event by utilizing the decay of the frequency distribution across a broad range of frequencies resulting from a gun's muzzle blast are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20030010345
    Abstract: The device features one or more video cameras (13, 14, 15) linked to a computer (16) which analyses the output of the cameras to distinguish between normal movement and falls. Upward or similar movements, normally associated with a patient attempting to get out of bed are also identified. An alarm is activated at a remote attendant station when a fall movement is determined to have occured. The cameras and computer are situated as a bedside unit (11).
