China May 2008 Update The high profile 184 member National Earthquake Team, which had arrived in Chengdu at 22:40 CST on 12 May 08, carried out rescue operations in 48 places in 15 days. It included worst hit Dujiangyan, Hanwang town in Mianzhu, Yingxiu town in Sichuan and Beichuan. The team consisted of both soldiers and medics.
The team used UltraVision LifeLocator (TM) Life Detection System, capable of detecting life from the movement created from even shallow breathing. The team rescued 49 survivors, which included 6 experts trapped in the course of rescue operations, 30 students buried under the debris of collapsed school buildings and 13 residents of partially damaged and/ or fully razed to ground individual houses. Besides, the team cleared 1080 remains. It helped other teams in locating 12 survivors and rescuing 36 trapped residents.
Much of the rescue operation was literally handled by 146000 PLA and PAPF troops and 75000 militia and reservists. Ge Zhenfeng, deputy chief of the general staff, and Wang Guanzhong, director of the CMC General Office, reportedly took initial command of the situation, ordering units from the Air Force, Chengdu Military Region, Jinan Military Region and the Armed Police Force, as well as airborne unit to quickly proceed to the stricken areas to rescue quake victims

U.S. developed technology from UltraVision detects life through debris piles created by earthquake-caused collapse of buildings and structures in China
Beijing, China – May 13, 2008 – Members of China’s emergency relief team of medics and soldiers are using the UltraVision LifeLocator™ life detection system to support post-earthquake rescue efforts. The LifeLocator can detect the earthquake victims' shallow-breathing through debris piles created as a result of building and other structures’ collapse. Use of the LifeLocator is a critical part of the rescue team’s efforts to find survivors in these life-threatening post-quake hours. The LifeLocator is able to detect very slight movement such as the movement created from shallow breathing, important for victims who may not be able to otherwise move or call out. China life-safety and security distributor Ancom Systems donated LifeLocator to the emergency earthquake rescue team. The team is now searching for survivors of the earthquake in Wenchuan County after ....Read More
UltraVision’s LifeLocator® life detection system brings ultra wideband technology to Fisher Safety
Technology surpasses traditional video, audio and canine rescue methods to improve odds of rescue over recovery.
Salem, NH – March 8, 2007 – UltraVision Security Systems, Inc. announces its LifeLocator® life detection system can be acquired in the United States from leading life rescue distributor Fisher Safety. LifeLocator is already the standard in life rescue in such countries as Japan, Israel, China, Argentina, Singapore, and others and—in the U.S.—is FCC certified on the Department of Homeland Security’s Approved Equipment List. LifeLocator uses ultra wideband (UWB) technology to greatly improve the odds of rescue over recovery in life-threatening instances like building collapses due to weather, fire or catastrophic attack; avalanches; flash floods; earthquakes or other natural disasters. Ultra wideband technology is the most advanced technology for life rescue, locating victims by sensing even minor movement or shallow breathing. Further, the application of UWB overcomes more traditional rescue system shortcomings. For example, LifeLocator can find living victims in noise-ridden environments where audio systems often require the cessation of other rescue efforts to work. False positives from wind shifts or other bio-sensitivities that hamper canine detection and rescue don’t affect LifeLocator. ...Read More
