    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for generating alerts communicated to emergency responders and/or contacts indicating a location of an incident. The system comprises a housing, one or more light sources, and a computing processor. A switch is located in the housing and configured to be accessible to a user. When the switch is actuated by a user indicating an incident, the processor provides power to the at least one light source to output light from the housing thereby indicating the location of the system. The system may also control a speaker to output an audible signal and a transmitter to transmit an emergency signal with location information to a device of an emergency responder and/or an emergency contact. The present invention may also be embodied in a software application that is implemented on a mobile device to thereby leverage the components of the mobile device to send alerts.

    Abstract: Examples relate to a surgical microscope system and a corresponding apparatus, method and computer program. The surgical microscope system comprises one or more sensors for providing sensor information about a balance of the surgical microscope system. The surgical microscope system comprises one or more brakes for holding at least one component of the surgical microscope system in place. The surgical microscope system comprises a surgical microscope. The surgical microscope system comprises a processing module, configured to process the sensor information. The processing module is configured to determine an information about the balance of the surgical microscope system. In some embodiments, the processing module is configured to provide a warning to a user of the surgical microscope system based on the information about the balance of the surgical microscope system. The warning indicates danger of imbalance in the surgical microscope system. Alternatively or additionally, the processing module may be configured to control a release of the one or more brakes based on the information about the balance of the surgical microscope system.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for utilizing a device positioned at or near a signage plate to provide non-visual assistance in approaching the signage plate's location when activated by a digital signal. A venue might improve accessibility by installing the invented device next to or even behind one or more restroom signs. A visitor using this accessibility feature might utilize a fob provided by the venue or a personal device such as a smartphone with a compatible app, such that the visitor can press a button and activate the invented device to generate a non-visual cue to assist the visitor in locating the device and associated sign, such as emitting an audio sound. The fob or phone might further provide additional guidance, such as emitting the same sound as the sign device so that the visitor knows what sound to listen for, or providing additional information.
