| Counsel: | Firm: Schwegman Lundberg Woessner, P.A. |
| 1st Invent: | David Michael French (Fort Myers, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | In some examples, a variable inductor device includes a first planar loop comprising a first planar face and a material that supports electromagnetic coupling and a second planar loop comprising a second planar face and a material that supports electromagnetic coupling. The first planar loop is separable from the second planar loop to vary the inductance of the variable inductance device. In some examples, the first and second planar faces overlapping each other in a closed configuration of the device. |

| Counsel: | Firm: Banner Witcoff, Ltd. |
| 1st Invent: | Doug Bassett (Fort Myers, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=5 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods are disclosed that, in some aspects, provide detecting an alarm event, determining whether the alarm event is a deviation from predefined criteria, and transmitting an alert notification to users of the security system if the alarm event is a deviation from the predefined criteria. The predefined criteria may relate to the location or type of one or more sensors of the security system, the location of users of the security system, the time of day, activities within the premises, and/or behavioral patterns of the users learned by the security system. Information transmitted in the alert notification may relate to the location of one or more users of the security system, the data recorded by one or more sensors of the security system, the state of alert of the security system, and/or confidential information required to terminate the alarm event. |
