Patent number: 11282536Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: UTILITY ASSOCIATES, INC.Inventors: Ted Michael Davis, Eric H Bedell, Robert S McKeeman

Patent number: 10560668Abstract: A recording system for an emergency response unit includes a first data collection device configured to record a first video, audio or data segment with an incident identifier and transmit a message including the incident identifier. A second data collection device may receive the message and, as appropriate, record at least a second video, audio or data segment with the incident identifier, allowing the first segment and the second segment to be associated using the incident identifier. In other embodiments, a first recording device may begin recording video, audio or legal evidence data with an incident identifier, and a control system may receive a message including the incident identifier from the first recording device, identify one or more additional recording devices located within a certain distance of the first recording device, and obtain recordings from the one or more additional recording devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Utility Associates, Inc.Inventors: Simon Araya, Ted Michael Davis, Robert Stewart McKeeman
