Embodiments of systems, methods, and devices for protecting service personnel by deploying a physical barrier are described. Further embodiments describe additional security features such as lights, sirens, cameras, electronic locks, timers, and/or notifying security personnel or local law enforcement when the system is activated.

Various embodiments, relate to a system of lockers including a plurality of tracks and a plurality of walls. At least two of the plurality of walls slidably coupled to at least two of the plurality of tracks. Four of the plurality of walls form four sides of a locker cavity. The system also includes a plurality of doors. Each of the plurality of doors are oriented perpendicular to the plurality of the walls. A first door of the plurality of doors is coupleable to a second door of the plurality of doors so as to form a third door, and at least one of the plurality of doors form one side of the locker cavity. The system also includes a back wall, which forms one side of the locker cavity. The system further includes a lock for securing positions of the plurality of walls and of the plurality of doors.

A pathogen containment shield comprises a plexiglass barrier to protect both employees on the one side of the barrier from infecting or being infected by customers on the other side of the barrier. The shield includes a vertical portion with an upper outwardly extending portion and side wings extending outwardly from the vertical portion in the direction of the customer. A hood mounted to the upper outwardly extending portion and including a tourmaline and antimicrobial infused filter, a fan designed to direct droplets into the filtration box at the base of the vertical barrier. The hood also includes an auto distance sensor and programmable auto timer to activate the fans and the filtration box when a customer approaches the shield and to turn off the operation a set time after the customer leaves. The filtration box includes a removable tourmaline and antimicrobial infused intake filter and pathogen killing UV-C light.

A system for the safe coupling of a re-usable bag to a banknote handling and storing machine includes a bag container, having a rigid upper port and a flexible bag permanently fixed to the rigid port, a lid, designed to be inserted onto the rigid port for closing the bag container when the filling operations are terminated, and a bag-holding frame. The bag-holding frame is suitable for being stably fixed to a safe structure of the machine for supporting and hooking the bag container when placed inside the machine to be filled with the banknotes. The system is provided with first coupling and hooking electro-mechanical components between the bag container and the bag-holding frame and with second coupling and hooking electro-mechanical components between the lid and the bag container. The first and second coupling and hooking electro-mechanical components are interconnected with a control unit to enable the respective functions.

An article exchange assembly for reducing transmission of pathogens includes a housing, which is mountable in an opening in a wall of a structure below a service window positioned in the wall. The housing extends from the opening into the structure and has a front face, which is open. A set of drawer slides is engaged to and positioned in the housing. The drawer slides are selectively extensible through the front face of the housing. A drawer is operationally engaged to the set of drawer slides. A plurality of fasteners is engaged to a tray, which is positioned in the drawer. The fasteners selectively engage article to the tray. A lift module selectively elevates the tray to positioned proximate to a top of the drawer so that the articles are accessible to a person seated in a vehicle positioned exterior to the structure and proximate to the service window.

In a conventional fine particle detection device that vaporizes fine particles attached to the object of examination by heating, processing capability decreases as the processing time elapses due to the influence of deposition of fine particles other than the object of examination, dirt/dust, a residue of the fine particles as the object of examination, or residual matter. A fine particle detection device according to the present invention includes: a vaporization device that vaporizes the fine particles trapped by a trap device by vaporization or decomposition; a first flow passageway in which a mixture of a component vaporized by the vaporization device and another component flows; a second flow passageway branching from the first flow passageway in a direction of inertial force acting on the other component; a third flow passageway branching from the first flow passageway in a direction different from the direction of the inertial force; and an analysis device that analyzes a component introduced into the third flow passageway.

The present disclosure relates to a money handling apparatus including: a money storage unit configured to store money; a locking unit configured to limit access to the money storage unit; and a control unit configured to give unlock permission to unlock the locking unit to at least one of a plurality of qualified persons who are qualified to unlock the locking unit, and to perform a process involving change of the qualified person.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for securely transferring a locked container from a primary vault to a secondary vault. In one implementation, a triggering event corresponding to a transfer of a first locked container from the primary vault to the secondary vault is detected. The first locked container is detected in the primary vault, and a second locked container is detected in the secondary vault. A transfer time for the transfer is determined based on when the second locked container is detected in the secondary vault. The transfer is validated as a compliant transfer when the second locked container is identified as the first locked container and the transfer time is within a time tolerance band.
