20080266110SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT - A system for tracking personnel and equipment in hazardous environments in pre or post-accident situations includes an intrinsically safe tracking tag and an intrinsically safe reader system. The intrinsically safe tracking tag transmits identification and status information to the intrinsically safe reader system, which includes a plurality of intrinsically safe antennas and a hub cable driver. In one embodiment, antennas are located at known positions in the hazardous environment and connected via a redundant, wired-mesh topology. The wired-mesh topology also allows more flexible antenna placement than line-of-sight wireless-mesh systems. The hub cable driver provides intrinsically safe power to and communication with the antennas using communication cables, receives data signals from the antennas, and transmits the data signals to a server. The server stores the data signals in a storage device and is connected to a workstation. The workstation retrieves the stored data to track persons or equipment.10-30-2008

20090101652Trash can liners with reminder features - The present inventors identified that conventional packaging of trashcan liners makes it difficult for consumers to know when their supply of trashcan liners is about to run out. Accordingly, they devised, among other things, a sequence of plastic trashcan liners within a container that includes one or more indicators that the sequence of liners is approaching its end. In some embodiments, the indicators are associated with promotional devices, such as coupons or other forms of advertising content, thereby allowing advertisers or sponsors to temporally couple an actual need of the consumer to shop at local retailer with a geographically or functionally related product promotion.04-23-2009
