Disclosed, among other things, is volumetric security, which may provide improved techniques for identifying a subject by receiving inputs from a 3-dimensional (3D), or volumetric, image, a 2-dimensional (2D) image, an audio feed or recording, a biometric scanning system, a password entry system, a location-based technology system such as Global Positioning System (GPS) or interactions between a Bluetooth® beacon and an application on a mobile device, or another data source, comparing the inputs to data stored in one or more databases, assigning weights to the inputs, outputting weighted values, and integrating an algorithm that factors the weighted values to output a subject identifier and a confidence score. The confidence score may define a probability that the identifier correctly identifies a subject.

The present invention is a modular stroller platform for carrying multiple small children. The invention enables secure mounting of three seats or carriers in a compact arrangement, giving each child sufficient space without making the stroller unnecessarily difficult to move. Because of its modular design, other accessories, including a wagon body, may be mounted in place of the seats.

Dynamic knowledge transfer may provide a system and method for creating modules, for example, crowd-sourced or employee-curated trainings, instruction manuals, or tutorials, comprising dynamic, as opposed to fixed, streams of information. Dynamic knowledge transfer may provide significant improvements to sharing or retention of information, benefitting desk-less workers or other users who will be enabled to make revisions or submit new content to keep the information up-to-date and relevant.

A two-dimensional visual display that allows for the user and/or another individual, such as the user's spouse, to experience self-evident, abnormally complex elevated heart rate arrhythmia. The system of the present invention uses a heart rate monitor, along with data analysis, to provide the user with a visual display, seismic feel, and/or aural feedback that allow for the user to be quickly alerted as to any arrhythmia, thereby signaling to the user to change their activity in order to avoid sudden cardiac death.

In one aspect, the present disclosure implements a method that determines whether a submitted image satisfies a geographic constraint which includes defining a rule that establishes a geographic restriction on the submitted image, accessing a geo-code associated with the submitted image, determining whether the geo-code indicates that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule, and if a determination is made that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule, eliminating the submitted image from being considered a valid entry in the contest.

An embodiment includes a valve with a filter in which the flow of water through the valve is stopped by lowering a filter within the valve. This movement of the filter allows a poppet valve to close, stopping the flow of water. Subsequent raising of the filter holds the poppet valve in the open position, allowing the flow of water through the filter for further use. Embodiments are found in drinking fountains and facilitate the maintenance of the drinking fountain by allowing a technician to shut off the water using a screwdriver without requiring the removal of the fountain cover.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) moisture sensor. This moisture sensor includes one or more antenna structures having a tail. The tail is operable to transport a disturbance such as, but not limited to fluid or moisture from a monitored location wherein the antenna has an impedance and varies with proximity to the disturbance. An integrated circuit couples to the antenna structure. This IC includes a power harvesting module operable to energize the integrated circuit, an impedance-matching engine coupled to the antenna, a memory module, and a wireless communication module. The impedance-matching engine may vary a reactive component to reduce a mismatch between the antenna impedance and the IC and produce an impedance value (sensor code) representative of the reactive component impedance. The memory module stores the impedance value (sensor code) until the wireless communication module communicates with an RFID reader and sends the impedance value/sensor code to the RFID reader. The RFID reader may then determine an environmental condition such as the presence of moisture or fluids at the tail of the RFID sensor. This sensor may deploy several antenna and/or tails sensitive to unique disturbances. These tails may be used to monitor different locations as well as different types of fluids. In one particular embodiment, the disturbance is a fluid or moisture within the gutter of a vehicle body.

A mount for the improved engagement of a tremolo arm with a pivoting bridge of a stringed instrument is provided. The mount features a body having a first side adapted for an engagement with a surface of the bridge. The arm is engageable to conventional bridges or may be employed with an arm mount having a centered attachment point and can include a biasing washer to maintain a position of the tremolo arm relative to the mount. A tremolo arm mount is provided at a central portion of the body relative to the width of a pathway followed by the strings projecting from the bridge toward the neck of the stringed instrument.
