US Patent:

6366311, Apr 2, 2002

Filed:

Feb 25, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/257765

Inventors:

David A. Monroe - San Antonio TX 78230

International Classification:

H04N 718

US Classification:

348148, 348159

Abstract:

Multiple data and images are multiplexed and sequenced utilizing split screen technology in order to minimize the recording and monitoring hardware required to process the images, providing a detailed record of the time of an event, the altitude and geographic location of the aircraft and the type and location of the event within the aircraft, greatly enhancing event reconstruction efforts. The multi-media safety and surveillance system for aircraft incorporates a plurality of strategically spaced sensors including video imaging generators for monitoring critical components and critical areas of both the interior and the exterior of the aircraft. The captured data and images are recorded and may be transmitted to ground control stations for real time or near real time surveillance. The system is tied directly into the global positioning system of the aircraft so that the precise location of the aircraft may be determined when an event occurs.

Filed:

Jun 25, 1997

Appl. No.:

08/882569

Inventors:

David A. Monroe - San Antonio TX 78278-0907

International Classification:

H04N 714

US Classification:

348 1408, 348 1409, 348 1407

Abstract:

A video conferencing system utilizes a plurality of sensors or cameras to record the image of each attendee in order to generate a three dimensional image thereof. The image signal is then merged and displayed at a remote station where an actual attendee is present. The displayed image is a three dimensional virtual conference room replicating the look and feel of a hands-on conference.

Inventors:

David A. Monroe - San Antonio TX, US

International Classification:

G08B023/00

US Classification:

3405731, 3405721, 3405391, 3405733, 3405734, 34082534, 34082549, 455404, 455414, 455415, 455462, 455502

Abstract:

A personal alarm system can be worn or carried by the user, may be activated at any time by the user and/or may be automatically activated to send a signal to any remote monitoring station on the network. The device identifies the user as well as the user's location within the monitored area. The alarm-sending unit is designed to fit within a box the size of a small cell phone or pager. The unit includes an ID memory for identifying the user, is programmable and has an on-board processor for generating a signal to a wireless transmitter for sending the signal to a to a local receiver for inputting the signal onto the network. A centralized, networked RF receiver is used with the personal alarm unit and one or more of these RF receivers may be installed in order to provided adequate coverage of the monitored area. The signals generated by the personal alarm are received by the RF receiver(s) and decoded, whereupon the system processor assembles a message, packetizes it as necessary, and sends it to one or more monitoring stations via the intervening network and network interface. The signals may be digitized where desired.
