Filed:

Dec 5, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/729532

Inventors:

Mark E. Rodgers - Jackson MS, US

Assignee:

SmartSynch, Inc. - MS

International Classification:

G05D 11/00

US Classification:

700295, 700286, 702 62

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for using 802. 11 based wireless protocols in various energy management applications wherein a host controller uses various types of communication networks to distribute information to an on-premise processor that in turn uses 802. 11 based wireless protocols to communicate with various types of end devices, such as utility meters. Various forms of communication are defined between the end device, the on-premise processor, and the energy management host for accomplishing power load control, including determining when to activate or deactivate a load, requesting permission to activate a load, reading usage data, activating or deactivating a meter, and determining rate schedules. A flexible scheme allows control to be shifted to be resident in various entities. The architecture is applicable not only for power load control, but other control type and metering devices.

Filed:

Dec 7, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/608125

Inventors:

Mark E. Rodgers - Jackson MS, US

Assignee:

Samarion, Inc. - Ridgeland MS

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 2, 600300

Abstract:

Methods, systems and computer program products are used in monitoring patients, staff, assets and visitors at a facility, initiating a response to prevent or mitigate harm, and assess and ensure overall quality and performance, and refine individual patient, staff and visitor profiles. A plurality of sensors throughout the facility provide multiple data streams relating to the locations of patients relative to at least one of caregivers, assets, other patients, visitors or one or more fixed locations. A computer system analyses the data stream and determines the location and/or movements of the patients relative to the caregivers, assets, other patients, visitors and/or fixed locations. A profile containing individual data for the patient is used to accurately detect events, including actionable events, ensure completion of prescribed care, assess patient wellness, and, in some cases, provide tailored patient specific responses to detected events. Patient profiles are periodically refined by means of an information feedback loop in order to more accurately predict (actionable) events, provide adequate care and ensure a desired level of patient wellness. Staff and visitor profiles can be used to measure staff and visitor performance at a facility.

Assignee:

Bee Cave, LLC - Austin TX

International Classification:

G01C 9/06

US Classification:

702150, 770151, 3405731

Abstract:

The present invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring patient support exiting and initiating a response. Movement data is accessed from sensors (e. g. , cameras) that are monitoring a patient resting on a support platform. A motion capture pattern summary is generated from the accessed movement data. The motion capture pattern summary is compared to one or more movement pattern data sets in a library of movement pattern data sets. It is determined that the motion capture pattern summary is sufficiently similar to one of the one or more movement pattern data sets in the library of movement pattern data sets. From the determined similarity it is determined that the patient is attempting to exit the support platform. Remedial measures are initiated to prevent the detected platform support exiting attempt.
