Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, devices and methods for body pose tracking are provided that are simple, inexpensive, flexible, accurate and robust. One body pose tracking system includes a mobile device, such as a smartphone, and active or passive marker bands. Images and depth information captured by the smartphone may be analyzed using an Inverse Kinematic (IK) model, and, in certain cases, the IK model solution may be augmented by machine learning. Other body pose tracking systems include an augmented-reality/virtual-reality (AR/VR) head-mounted-display (HMD) and/or AR/VR glasses rather than a smartphone. An AR/VR HMD device may include a depth sensor and multiple environment-facing cameras.

Abstract: Systems and methods for accurate measurement and transmission of water level parameters during weather events, such as floods, are provided. The solid-state system can effectively measure water level without utilizing moving parts, pumps, or floats and may implement an improved water level determination method that compensates for inherent sources of error. Additionally, the system may be comprised of a network of sensor units that can communicate weather measurements wirelessly via a hybrid mesh network consisting variously of wireless terrestrial radio, cellular, and satellite communication links. By doing so, the status of water level and other environmental parameters may be reported in real time to first responders and emergency planners.

Abstract: The present techniques generally relate to a system comprising: a data resource comprising: a device data log to store a device data record for device data of a first device; a permissions log to store a permissions record for one or more permissions associated with the device data; a consent log to store a consent record comprising a consent status for the one or more permissions; wherein the consent record, permissions record and device data record provide a verifiable data audit to determine whether a party is authorized to access the device data.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for locating terminals within a facility. One or more of a plurality of primary terminals send a location signal which may comprise location data for the respective primary terminal. A secondary terminal, of a plurality of secondary terminals may receive one or more of these location signals. In response, the secondary terminal sends a confirmation message to each primary terminal from which it has received a location signal. The confirmation message may comprise a unique identifier for the secondary terminal. In response to receiving one or more confirmation messages, a primary terminal sends a location reporting message to a location processing server. The location reporting message comprises the location data for that primary terminal and the contents of the received confirmation message(s). The data held on the location processing server can be used to determine the location and movement of each of the primary terminals and the secondary terminals.

Abstract: Methods of storing data records produced from monitoring interactions between external agents and a system are described. The method defines specific interactions that occur between the external agents and the system as events of interest. A chain of interactions occurring during respective interaction sessions between a respective external agent and the system are monitored and events of interest occurring in the chain are determined. Data records from the monitored chain are produced, the respective data record including data identifying determined events of interest and data associated therewith. A profile identity, representative of the external agent, is assigned to each data record produced during an interaction session. Data records of individual events of interest are stored in a way ordered according to the type of event of interest and data records of events of interest occurring during an interaction session are stored in a way ordered according to assigned profile identity.

Abstract: The present invention describes a decorative surface covering comprising a plurality of component layers, structural and/or chemical, chemically bonded to the surface, together forming a unique single unit, monolithic decorative surface overlay, referred to generally herein as a functionally bonded system. The functionally bonded system is designed to be flexible, expandable, and functional, providing the same durability as pre-existing flooring or horizontal surfaces. While the individual components have various properties, the chemical bonding of one layer to an adjacent layer above and/or below provides for a unique surface covering that is decorative and functional.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of storing data records produced from monitoring interactions between external agents and a system. The method comprises defining specific interactions that can occur between the external agents and the system as potential events of interest. A chain of interactions occurring during respective interaction sessions between a respective external agent and the system are monitored and potential events of interest occurring in the said chain are determined. Data records from the monitored chain of interactions are produced, the respective data record including data identifying determined potential events of interest and data associated therewith. A profile identity, representative of the external agent, is assigned to each data record produced during a said interaction session.
