Multi-hazard alarm system using selectable power-level transmission and localization

A personal alarm system includes a monitoring base station and one or more remote sensing units in two-way radio communication. An electronic handshake between the base station and each remote unit is used to assure system reliability. The remote units transmit at selectable power levels. In the absence of an emergency, a remote unit transmits at a power-conserving low power level. Received field strength is measured to determine whether a remote unit has moved beyond a predetermined distance from the base station. If the distance is exceeded, the remote unit transmits at a higher power level. The remote unit includes sensors for common hazards including water emersion, smoke, excessive heat, excessive carbon monoxide concentration, and electrical shock. The base station periodically polls the remote units and displays the status of the environmental sensors. The system is useful in child monitoring, for use with invalids, and with employees involved in activities which expose them to environmental risk. Alternative embodiments include a panic button on the remote unit for summoning help, and an audible beacon on the remote unit which can be activated from the base station and useful for locating strayed children. In another embodiment, the remote unit includes a Global Positioning System receiver providing location information for display by the base station.

Technology Risk Assessment, Forecasting, and Prioritization

InactiveUS20120203590A1Risk ratingFinanceForecastingRisk levelComputerized system
A computer system assesses the overall risk for different technologies for an organization. Technologies may be evaluated by obtaining severity levels and environmental risk scores for the vulnerabilities associated with the technologies. Each severity level measures a possible risk level of a corresponding vulnerability, while each environmental risk score is based on the organization's environment. Technology risk scores are then determined from the severity levels and the environmental risk scores. Each technology may then be categorized from a statistical distribution of the technology risk scores. An indexed risk score for each technology may also be determined based on time trending variables. Inputs may be a number of vulnerabilities, blended advisory / severity scores, and a standard deviation of the blended advisory / severity scores, and the results then provide behavior forecasting of the technologies. Further evaluation of the technologies may be performed to determine a risk versus reward model for the different technologies.
