    Abstract: Systems and methods of alert and notification transmission are contemplated in which a transceiver provides an alert/notification to a user(s) wearing a headset that provides hearing protection device with an integrated transceiver (e.g., radio) and on-board siren-voice alert function board. Typically, this device would be used in a loud noise area (>+70 dB) that would otherwise prevent the user from hearing an alert and notification, such as a siren tone and/or Public Address announcement. While the alert and notification is silent, the device is contemplated to provide sufficient hearing protection (>+15 dB)from the ambient surroundings. It is also contemplated that it could play local music through an audio input port/other receiving method. When an alert and notification command is communicated to a headset device's address (or globally) through the transceiver, the device(s) would then proceed to play, within the headset, the desired alert and notification message. This would be successful, as the ambient sound is suppressed around the wearer and the message clearly listened too, live and/or pre-recorded. The alert could also be in the form of a visual indication (e.g. LEDs, etc.), vibration, etc. generated from this same function board. The transceiver could be an unlicensed frequency (e.g., Wi-Fi, FRS, etc.) or a licensed frequency (VHF, UHF, Digital 800 MHz, etc.), and while preferred to be bi-directional communications, it could also function in an alert only mode. Further, by adding a GPS locator, a facility and/or site could give proximity warnings based on user skill level in negotiation the facility, perhaps based on training level and experience. Also, digital messages are contemplated where text messages could be converted to speech.

    Abstract translation: 预期警报和通知传输的系统和方法被设想在其中收发器向佩戴戴耳机的用户提供警报/通知,耳机提供具有集成收发器(例如,无线电)和车载警号语音警报的听力保护装置 功能板。 通常,该设备将被用于大噪声区域(> + 70dB),否则将阻止用户听到警报和通知,例如警号和/或公共广播通知。 当警报和通知静音时,设备可以提供足够的听觉保护(> + 15 dB)与周围的环境。 还可以想到,它可以通过音频输入端口/其他接收方法播放本地音乐。 当警报和通知命令通过收发器传送到耳机设备的地址(或全局)时,设备将继续在耳机内播放所需的警报和通知消息。 这将是成功的,因为环境声音被抑制在佩戴者周围,并且消息清楚地被听到,活和/或预先记录。 警报也可以是从该相同功能板产生的视觉指示(例如LED等),振动等的形式。 收发器可以是非许可频率(例如,Wi-Fi,FRS等)或许可频率(VHF,UHF,数字800MHz等),并且虽然优选为双向通信,但是它也可以起作用 在一个警报模式。 此外,通过添加GPS定位器,设施和/或站点可以基于在设备的协商中的用户技能水平,可能基于训练水平和经验来给出接近警告。 此外,预期数字消息可以将文本消息转换成语音。

    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering alerts, notifications and messages, to and, if configured, responses from one to many users or groups wearing technology designed for single and/or multiple media types, utilizing one to many non-primary communication pathways enabled are contemplated in which (a) a primary communication channel pathway, (b) a primary or non-primary control channel(s) is established, by wireless receiver and/or wired connection to at least one group of users, that (b) then allows an activation method type to provide an alert/notification/message method to one-to-many persons (i.e., users) or groups and/or one-to-many devices in an addressable manner that establishes a non-primary communication channel path that is parallel and unknown to the primary communication channel path. The overall method consists of a router function and media delivery routing technology that are actively listening on a primary communication/control pathway or a non-primary control channel.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of notification and alert activation and delivery via transmission to users wearing technology designed for single and/or multiple media types are contemplated in which (a) a communication pathway is established, for instance either a wireless receiver and/or transceiver and/or a physical (e.g., wired) connection, that (b) allows an activation method type to provide an alert/notification to one-to-many persons (i.e., users) and/or, one-to-many devices in an addressable manner. The overall method consists of devices (including for example, wearable media with external and/or integrated delivery technology) that are actively listening on a communication pathway. If an activation method is utilized over the communication pathway and an activation is designated for specific device(s) assigned within the communication pathway, then a delivery method for that device(s) is invoked that processes and delivers the non-primary media (audio and visual) based on the command type, any local settings and the media type transmitted.

    Abstract: An automated testing system for industrial control systems, including multiple embodiments. The Flowchart-Driven Automated Testing Tool (FDATT) enables users to create and execute test cases via a graphical interface integrated with control systems for efficient automation. The Spreadsheet Testing approach combines in-memory database unit tests with spreadsheet-like assertions for verifying calculations and updates on Data Transfer Objects (DTOs), promoting clarity and independent calculations. The OT Automated Testing Technologies utilizes SIMCase (a/k/a SIMCube) hardware, SIMSuite software, and the Breakout Board™ for scalable testing of PLCs without modifying native code, supporting functions like Flex Matrix and Tag Ring Out for I/O signal verification. Finally, the Test Data Import and Verification Tool imports input and expected output bit files for PLC logic testing through industrial communication protocols, ensuring accurate logic verification and error detection.

In addition, the wearable device may also include connection to a specialized, logical audio router that manages non-primary communication channels and ‘cut-ins’ or ‘super-imposition’ functions for the delivery of alerts, notifications, and messages as an overlay on the primary communications channel that all users present may then hear, see, feel and/or respond via available methods through the appropriate primary and/or non-primary communications channel.
