US Patent:

20120154155, Jun 21, 2012

Filed:

Mar 19, 2010

Appl. No.:

13/257355

Inventors:

John Brasch - Lincoln NE, US

International Classification:

G08B 23/00

US Classification:

3405734

Abstract:

A system for monitoring an individual includes a sensor configured to detect the presence or absence of the individual at a location. A programmable logic controller is coupled to the sensor and configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicating the presence or absence of the individual. The programmable logic controller is configured to send an alarm signal to an alarm generating device if the individual is absent from the location at a first preset time, if the individual is present in the location at a second preset time, or if the individual is absent from the location for more than a selected interval of time between the first preset time and the second preset time. A user may place the system in a standby mode to prevent an alarm signal from being sent.

Appl. No.:

7/771618

Inventors:

John J. Brasch - Lincoln NE
Alan W. Cross - Denton NE

Assignee:

Senior Technologies, Inc. - Lincoln NE

International Classification:

G08B 1300

US Classification:

340541

Abstract:

To generate an alert signal indicating that an unauthorized subject is in a first region within seven feet of a passageway, a radio transmitter is worn by the subject and received by a receiver at the passageway. A second signal is generated upon satisfaction of a second condition, such as an open door at the passageway, which second signal indicates the likelihood of the subject passing through the passageway. A first display indicates if the first signal is present and a second signal if the second condition occurs.

John Joseph Brasch - Lincoln NE, US

Assignee:

J. Brasch Co., LLC - Lincoln NE

International Classification:

G01L 25/00
G01L 1/20

Abstract:

An aspect of some embodiments of the present invention relates to a system configured for detecting connection between a pressure pad and a monitor. The system includes a pressure detection circuit and a presence detection circuit. The pressure detection circuit is configured for sensing whether the pressure on the pad is above or below the threshold pressure. The presence detection circuit is configured for determining whether a connection between the monitor and the pad is intact. The presence detection circuit is configured to establish a high voltage condition that occurs when connection is broken along the presence detection circuit and a low voltage condition when the presence detection circuit is intact.

Abstract:

A pressure sensitive pad, generally planar in shape for placement underneath a mattress or cushion, capable of outputting a spectrum of signals depending on the pressure applied on the pad, comprising a plurality of sensitive zones, each zone being connected to a respective controller, configured to measure the pressure on each zone. The pressure sensitive pad comprising two electrically conductive layers; a variable conductive foam layer between the two conductive layers; and a non-conductive layer comprising a plurality of holes, disposed between a first of the two electrically conductive layers and the conductive foam layer. A system operable with the pad calibrates to detect absence and presence of a person for a range of mattress types and mattress weights and person weights; and determines a relative weight and position of the person while the person is on the mattress.
