Abstract: Described embodiments provide a crimp connector with hooks to hold a flat flexible cable (FFC). The crimp connector includes a bottom body and multiple hooks protruding outward from and coupled to the bottom body to hold the FFC. The crimp connector also includes a top clasp hingably mounted to the bottom body having multiple barbs internally mounted therein. Each of the barbs correspond with an uninsulated flat conductor of the FFC. In response to the top clasp engaging with the bottom body such that a slotted wedge of the top clasp presses the corresponding one of the first and second uninsulated flat conductors against the corresponding barbs, the crimp connector makes an electrical connection between each of the barbs and the corresponding one of first and second uninsulated flat conductors.

Abstract: A system, method and device for notifying designated recipients about a personal emergency. An individual maintains a personal emergency alert device (PEAD) in accessible proximity. The PEAD is activated by onboard or remote sensor(s) in proximity to the PEAD. The sensor(s) monitor the occurrence of an emergency activation event. PEAD includes a controller. The controller, triggered by detection of an emergency event by a sensor, activates a geolocation module to obtain geolocation information, formulates an alert message, establishes a network connection, and transmits the message with geolocation information to a personal emergency alert notification service (PEANS). PEANS responds by sending a text, email or other emergency notification to designated notification recipient(s). Once activated, PEAD periodically tracks and transmits its geolocation until it runs out of power. Alternatively, PEAD can be deactivated by sending a deactivation code to the PEANS, which in turn instructs such PEAD to deactivate.

Abstract: An automated external defibrillator (AED) monitoring service receives through a network communication from a remote AED monitoring device that senses conditions at a remote AED. The AED monitoring service receives alert messages from the remote AED monitoring device which alert the AED monitoring service to detection of sensed condition events at the remote AED. The AED monitoring service may send to designated notification recipients a notification message indicating occurrence of the sensed event at the monitored remote AED. The AED monitoring service communicates with the remote AED monitoring device only upon initiation of communications by the remote AED monitoring device, and upon initiation may request data from, or send data or control information to, the remote AED monitoring device. At the end of the communications sequence, the AED monitoring service signals the remote AED monitoring device to place itself into a low-power mode.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, services, and systems which monitor and track location of Automated External Defibrillator (AED) equipment are disclosed. The AED location can be identified with manual descriptive information during installation as well as with ongoing location tracking using electronic means. The invention includes a feature to identify if the AED is physically moved. Other embodiments of this invention relate to the use of a software application that will show the availability of the AED device on a map or other means to disseminate this information to a potential user and advise the owner or designated party that the device has been physically moved.

Abstract: A detector for detecting the presence of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signals transmitted in the 2.4 GHz band by a drone aircraft controller to control the flight of a drone aircraft. The detector has a microprocessor that performs autocorrelation analysis of multiple samples of the received DSSS signals and noise present in multiple spaced channels within the 2.4 GHz band to detect consistent correlation peaks which indicate the presence of DSSS signals. The microprocessor also determines the relative strength of the correlation peaks and energizes LEDs generally indicating how close the drone aircraft controller is to the drone aircraft detector.

Abstract: A scenting nebulizer is described that capacitively measures the level of scenting oil in a bottle in the nebulizer without ever contacting the oil in the bottle. In addition, such capacitively measured oil levels are measured at multiple vertical levels of the bottle of scenting oil. In actual operation the capacitively measured oil level readings are very frequently measured then averaged, and the averaged figures are stored. The stored, averaged figures are interpolated against previously stored, capacitance readings made when the scenting oil bottle is full and when there is no bottle. In this manner the level of the oil is accurately determined. A plurality of processor controlled scenting nebulizers are connected to a central computer and their individual oil levels and other operational information are forwarded to the central computer where appropriate maintenance for the individual nebulizers is scheduled.
