  • Patent number: 10667096
    Abstract: A system for distributing targeted alerts to building occupants includes building equipment and a targeted alert system. The building equipment are configured to detect an event within a building and generate an alert identifying the event. The targeted alert system is configured to receive the alert from the building equipment, identify a location within the building of each of a plurality of building occupants, identify a role performed by each of the plurality of building occupants, select one or more of the building occupants to receive the alert based on at least one of the location of each building occupant and the role performed by each building occupant, and distribute the alert to the selected building occupants.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5293432
    Abstract: A document image scanner for reading a scanned document multiple times at resolutions different from the scanned resolution without rescanning. A sensor scans the source document to generate a digitized image that is stored in a memory at a first resolution. An input shifter is coupled to the memory for receiving a first number of pixels per line of the digitized image from memory. A vertical scaling element is coupled to the memory for changing a first vertical resolution to a second vertical resolution as the digitized image is transferred to the input shifter from memory. An output shifter is coupled to the input shifter for receiving a second number of pixels per line of the digitized image from the input shifter, wherein the ratio of the second number to the first number is the scaling factor. A horizontal scaling element is coupled to the memory for changing a first horizontal resolution to a second horizontal resolution as the digitized image is transferred to the output shifter from the input shifter.
