Safety System with Radio Location and Testing Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040535 titled 'Safety System with Radio Location and Testing Device

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a safety system that includes a safety controller and a radio location system. The radio location system consists of a first radio unit, a second radio unit, a reference radio unit, and a testing device.

The radio location system is designed to determine a first defined characteristic between the first and second radio units using radio location technology. It also determines a second defined characteristic between the first radio unit and the reference radio unit using the same technology.

The second defined characteristic is continuously varied according to a known pattern, which is known to the testing device. The testing device is configured to generate a confirmation of the first defined characteristic only when the radio location system detects the second defined characteristic varying according to the pattern.

  • The safety system includes a safety controller and a radio location system.
  • The radio location system consists of a first radio unit, a second radio unit, a reference radio unit, and a testing device.
  • The radio location system determines a first defined characteristic between the first and second radio units using radio location technology.
  • The radio location system also determines a second defined characteristic between the first radio unit and the reference radio unit using radio location technology.
  • The second defined characteristic is continuously varied according to a known pattern.
  • The testing device generates a confirmation of the first defined characteristic only when the radio location system detects the second defined characteristic varying according to the pattern.

Potential Applications of this Technology:

  • Safety systems in industrial environments
  • Monitoring the movement and location of objects or individuals in real-time
  • Tracking the position of vehicles or assets in logistics and transportation industries

Problems Solved by this Technology:

  • Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of radio location systems
  • Verifying the consistency of defined characteristics between radio units
  • Detecting any deviations or anomalies in the radio location system

Benefits of this Technology:

  • Enhanced safety and security in various industries
  • Improved efficiency in tracking and monitoring systems
  • Real-time detection of any inconsistencies or abnormalities in radio location systems
