Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for altering operation of a machine (e.g., bringing about an emergency stop). A device comprises an emitter configured to produce a first acoustic signal having a first tone and a second tone, wherein the first tone is different from the second tone. The device also includes an activation mechanism in communication with the emitter. The activation mechanism is configured to activate the emitter.
Claims25
A device comprising:
- an emitter configured to produce a first acoustic signal having a first tone and a second tone, the first tone different from the second tone, the first acoustic signal operable to alter operation of a machine receiving the first acoustic signal;
- and
- an activation mechanism in communication with the emitter, the activation mechanism configured to activate the emitter.
A device for altering operation of a machine, the device comprising:
- a receiver configured to recognize a first acoustic signal having a first tone and a second tone, the first tone different from the second tone;
- and
- a controller in communication with the receiver, the controller configured to alter operation of the machine based on the first acoustic signal.
