Abstract:
A rechargeable battery assembly comprises a rechargeable battery unit and a data and power connector plug. The battery assembly has a deployed configuration in which the battery assembly has the general form of and functions as a conventional battery format, and a recharge configuration in which the data and power connector plug is made accessible to enable said connector to be connected to a suitable receptacle on a computing or peripheral device for recharging of the battery.
Abstract:
A disaster response system includes a communication infrastructure including a plurality of sensor assemblies configured to generate data indicative of at least one of environmental conditions, motion, position, chemical detection, and medical information; and wirelessly provide the generated data to the communication infrastructure. The system also includes an incident command infrastructure configured to exchange data with the communication infrastructure; and detect an incident based on the data from the sensor assemblies. The system also includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to deliver a payload in response to the detected incident.
Abstract:
A wearable modular interface strap device for supporting multiple module units comprising a flexible strap with a plurality of electrically connected nodes acting as docking points to serial bus interface and mechanically connect removable modules, with the strap being 10 mechanically lockable in a loop by a clasp containing hub and host circuitry to enable network communication between modules and to a universal connector plug for recharging and data-exchange when the connector plug has been released from the clasp. Said strap containing a plurality of electrical wires between control circuitry and nodes and arranged to be wearable as a wristband, alternatively as a wrist device that when opened forms a curved handset with audio input and outputs at alternate ends, or arranged in a necklace configuration. Said device capable of supporting interchangeable modules such as displays, control devices, rechargeable batteries, a module with removable earpiece units, and a plurality of functional modules suitable for communication, data storage, location and environment sensing.
