Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for a wearable proximity detection system. In one embodiment, a wearable device configured to be worn by a wearer includes a first energy source configured to transmit energy; a sensor configured to detect energy from a proximate, second energy source of a compatible, second wearable device; and processing circuitry in communication with the first energy source and the sensor, the processing circuitry configured to use the energy detected by the sensor to determine a predetermined identifying characteristic associated to a second wearer of the second wearable device. In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting, via a first energy source, energy; detecting, via a sensor, energy from a proximate, second energy source of a compatible, second wearable device; and using, via processing circuitry, the energy detected by the sensor to determine a predetermined identifying characteristic associated to a second wearer of the second wearable device.

Abstract: A method for use with a personal protective equipment (PPE) article includes determining, via at least one sensor, a first parameter indicative of a concentration of at least one substance in an ambient environment of the PPE article. The method further includes determining, via a processor, a second parameter indicative of a second order derivative of the first parameter with respect to time. The method further includes retrieving, via the processor, a first threshold value indicative of a protection threshold provided by the PPE article for the at least one substance. The method further includes comparing, via the processor, the second parameter with the first threshold value. The method further includes generating, via the processor, an alert signal based on the comparison of the second parameter with the first threshold value. The method further includes providing, via a user interface, an alert to a user of the PPE article.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an article of personal protective equipment (PPE). The article of PPE includes at least one sensor configured to generate motion signals indicative of a motion of a user of the article of PPE. The article of PPE further includes a controller configured to determine a plurality of motions of the user over a plurality of time periods. Each motion includes a corresponding magnitude and a corresponding direction over the corresponding time period. The controller is further configured to determine a motion pattern based on the plurality of motions, such that the motions pattern includes at least one motion from the plurality of motions that has a non-zero value for the corresponding magnitude. The controller is further configured to determine an emergency event at least based on the motion pattern. The controller is further configured to generate an alert signal upon determination of the emergency event.

Abstract: A tracker device for a first responder including a radio configured to receive a first radio signal from an emitter, and receive a second radio signal from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The second radio signal includes at least one data packet including location information associated with the emitter. Processing circuitry in communication with the radio is configured to determine at least one location parameter associated with the emitter based on the first radio signal and the location information of the at least one data packet of the second radio signal.

The safety system further includes at least one tactile actuator and a controller. The at least one tactile actuator is associated with the article of PPE. The at least one tactile actuator is configured to provide tactile stimulation to the user. The controller is communicably coupled to the at least one tactile actuator. The controller is configured to provide an actuating signal to the at least one tactile actuator to actuate the at least one tactile actuator based upon at least one predetermined condition.
