  • Patent number: 11763653
    Abstract: A method includes receiving first position data from at least one of a TOF sensor or a LIDAR. The first position data is representative of a position of a human within a hazardous environment. The method further includes receiving second position data associated with a plurality of wearable sensors associated with a plurality of personnel. The method further includes comparing the first position data to the second position data to identify a match between the first position data and the second position data. The method further includes sensing a signal to an alert device associated with the hazardous environment such that the alert device issues an alert in response to the first position data failings to match the second position data.

  • Publication number: 20220120160
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a controller is configured to be operably coupled to a series of safety relays. Each safety relay is coupled to a machine from a plurality of machines. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a potential collision between any machine from the plurality of machines that is coupled to the at least one of the safety relays that was activated. The controller is configured to send, in response to the signal indicative of the potential collision, a signal to at least one of the safety relays from the series of safety relays to activate the at least one of the safety relays, thereby stopping motion of any machine from the plurality of machines that is coupled to the at least one of the safety relays that was activated.

  • Patent number: 5209929
    Abstract: Antigenic surface proteins from the intraerythrocytic merozoite stage of Babesia bigemina have been isolated using cell fusions and monoclonal antibodies produced thereby. Immunization of mammals, such as bovines, with purified isolates induces an immunological response that is effective to reduce pathological effects of babesiosis induced by Babesia bigemina. Diagnostic kits using monoclonal antibodies and antigenic surface proteins of Babesia bigemina are also disclosed.
