20130024106 | System and apparatus providing localized evacuation guidance - A method and apparatus for detecting hazardous gases. The method includes the steps of providing a central station and a plurality of environmental detectors within a protected area, each of the, plurality of environmental detectors detecting environmental events within the protected area and reporting detected events to the central station, one of the plurality of environmental detectors detecting an environmental event within the protected area and reporting that event to the central station, the central station determining a location of the detected event and of each of the plurality of environmental detectors within the protected area, the central station dynamically computing a route from the determined location of each of the plurality of environmental detectors to the closest and safest exit based upon the determined location of the detected environmental event and the central station generating and sending a respective map showing the computed route to the closest and safest exit for that environmental detector to each of the plurality of environmental detectors. | 01-24-2013 |
20130185024 | SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC OBJECT CLASSIFICATION AND TAGGING IN AN RF PLANNING TOOL - A system and method store a map of an area in a computer storage device. The map includes objects in the area. Objects on the map and locations of the objects on the map are identified, and properties are associated to the identified objects. The identified objects, the locations of the identified objects, and the properties of the identified objects are provided to a radio frequency (RF) planning tool such that the RF planning tool can determine RF wave propagation and RF wave attenuation as a function of the identified objects, the locations of the identified objects, and the properties of the identified objects. | 07-18-2013 |
20130201025 | Method of Monitoring a Gas Leakage Incident - A system for monitoring a gas leakage incident in an industrial facility comprises a local area network, and a plurality of closed-circuit television cameras operatively connected to the local area network. The closed-circuit television cameras are positioned to provide video images of plural areas in a facility, with a central station operatively connected to the network for receiving video images from the television cameras. As plurality of gas detectors positioned in plural areas of the facility are operatively connected to the local area network, with each gas detector being operable to provide a signal which indicates occurrence of a gas leakage incident. Real-time monitoring of one or more gas-leakage incidents facilitates efficient evacuation of operating personnel, with the system preferably configured to automatically direct one or more of the closed-circuit television cameras to the area from which a gas leakage signal originates. | 08-08-2013 |
20140192041 | TOP VIEW SITE MAP GENERATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods for top view site map generation can include receiving a number of non-top view images of an area and generating a top view site map for the area utilizing the number of non-top view images. | 07-10-2014 |
20140323138 | RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICE PLACEMENT TOOL - The present disclosure relates to displaying a bounded placement region for each radio frequency (RF) device in a map of a site to be used by an installer to install RF devices in the site. | 10-30-2014 |
20150046140 | NODE PLACEMENT PLANNING - Methods, systems, and computer-readable and executable instructions are described herein. One method includes identifying a number of structural rules of an area utilizing a map of the area, determining a placement for each node of a number of nodes of a node network on the map of the area utilizing a node placement model, identifying a placement of a node among the number of nodes that deviates from a structural rule among the number of the structural rules, and providing an indication of the node on the map of the area. | 02-12-2015 |
20150062331 | SITE SURVEYING - Systems, methods, and devices for site surveying are described herein. For example, one or more embodiments include receiving a map associated with a site, identifying a number of points on the map associated with the site with a computing device, determining a distance between the number of points based on data associated with a camera in communication with the computing device, and calibrating a length between the number of points on the map with the determined distance. | 03-05-2015 |
20150102926 | System and Method to Monitor Events and Personnel Locations - A method and apparatus where the apparatus performs the steps of receiving a location of a person; determining via a database a hazard level of the location confirming via a database that the person is qualified to be present at the location based upon a training level of the person for the determined hazard level of the location and wirelessly notifying the person to leave the location upon determining that the person is not qualified for the hazard level of the location based upon the training level of the person. | 04-16-2015 |
