20090245026 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A THREAT ALERT - A system for generating a threat alert in an infrastructure component is provided. The system includes multiple acoustic sensors disposed in a protected zone around the infrastructure component, wherein each of the sensors is configured to detect a signal corresponding to an outcome that causes damage to the infrastructure component. The system also includes a processing circuitry coupled to each of the multiple acoustic sensors. The processing circuitry includes at least one analog-to-digital converter configured to digitize the signal. The processing circuitry also includes a digital signal processor configured to process the acoustic signal in a sequential routine. The sequential routine includes a noise filtering routine configured to filter background noise from the acoustic signal and generate a filtered signal. The sequential routine also includes a source identification routine configured to identify a source generating the acoustic signal based upon the filtered signal. The sequential routine further includes a threat analysis routine configured to detect a threat based upon the source identified and generate a threat level signal. The system also includes a remote monitoring center that receives the threat level signals from the processing circuitry and transmit an alert message to a concerned authority. | 10-01-2009 |
20100013627 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING INFRASTRUCTURE - A system for generating a threat alert in an infrastructure component is provided. The system includes at least three acoustic sensors disposed at a pre-determined spacing apart from each other on the infrastructure component, wherein each of the sensors is configured to detect a signal corresponding to an outcome that causes damage to the infrastructure component. The system also includes a processing circuitry coupled to each of the at least three acoustic sensors, wherein the processing circuitry configured to filter noise from the signal and generate a threat signal. The system further includes a monitoring center configured to generate a shock alarm in response to the threat signal. | 01-21-2010 |
20100037059 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF MEDIA WORKS - A method and system for identifying a source of a copied work that in one embodiment includes obtaining at least some portions of a reference work, collecting at least some portions of the suspect work, matching the suspect work with the reference work, wherein the matching includes temporally aligning one or more frames of the reference work and the suspect work, spatially aligning frames of the reference work and the suspect work, and detecting forensic marks in the suspect work by spatiotemporal matching with the reference work. | 02-11-2010 |
20120025989 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A FALLEN PERSON USING A RANGE IMAGING DEVICE - A method and system for detecting a fallen person is described. An initial range image corresponding to a field of view of a DAS is generated. Further, a reference plane disposed in the field of view is identified. Additionally, one or more regions in the initial range image indicative of one or more objects disposed above the reference plane in the field of view are determined. Further, the DAS regenerates a range image corresponding to the field of view after a determined time period. The regenerated range image is compared with the initial range image to determine if the regenerated range image comprises a new object disposed above the reference plane. The new object is determined to be the fallen person if a height of the new object is less than a determined height and a volume and/or a surface area of the new object is greater than a determined value. | 02-02-2012 |
20120154582 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTOCOL ADHERENCE - The system and method disclosed herein provides an integrated and automated workflow, sensor, and reasoning system that automatically detects breaches in protocols, appropriately alarms and records these breaches, facilitates staff adoption of protocol adherence, and ultimately enables the study of protocols for care comparative effectiveness. The system provides real-time alerts to medical personnel in the actual processes of care, thereby reducing the number of negative patient events and ultimately improving staff behavior with respect to protocol adherence. | 06-21-2012 |

20130002434 | RADAR BASED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING A FALLEN PERSON - Methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable mediums that store instructions executable by one or more processors to perform a method for detecting a fallen person are presented. The present technique includes identifying a reference plane and a reference line in a designated space monitored using one or more range-controlled radars. These radars are coupled to one or more antennas configured to define fields of the range-controlled radars to one or more portions of the designated space, where at least one portion corresponds to the reference plane. The range-controlled radars detect presence of one or more parameters corresponding to a subject disposed in the designated space. The parameters, for example, include one or more physiological parameters and one or more motion parameters. The range-controlled radars then identify the subject as the fallen person if the one or more physiological parameters corresponding to the subject are detected proximate the reference plane. | 01-03-2013 |
