In at least one embodiment the present invention relates to a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) covert terrain following outdoor perimeter security sensor that can detect, locate and categorize intruders as they move in proximity to buried sensor cables. This MIMO cable guided radar utilizes parallel standard leaky coaxial cables with uniform aperture(s) in the outer conductor. RF transmissions from both ends of one cable setup an invisible electromagnetic detection field which couples into parallel receive cables. When an intruder moves within the coupled electromagnetic fields the amplitude and phase of the multiple received signals are altered. Signals received from both ends of each receive cable are processed jointly to detect and locate intruders along the length of the sensor cables. The joint processing of the responses seen from both ends of the cable(s), referred to as End-to-End correlation provides uniform sensitivity along the length of cables without the need for expensive graded cables. With multiple receive cables the responses can in turn be used to classify the target in terms of direction, speed and size of the intruder crossing over the cables. The MIMO nature of the present invention can allow one to track intruders crossing the perimeter thereby reducing the number of nuisance and false alarms.

A wireless, proximity-based security system for securing or tracking a valuable object. The system includes a base station and a plurality of security fobs. The security fobs are tracked via an ultra-wideband transceiver relative to an outer perimeter. An administrator fob pairs each of the security fobs with the base station. An audible alarm emits from base and/or the fobs when the location of the security fob is detected to be beyond the outer perimeter. A haptic alarm emits from fob when the location of the security fob is detected to be beyond a sub-perimeter.

A sensing apparatus includes a transmission line sensor and an electronics module. The transmission line sensor includes a first conductor, a second conductor and a dielectric between the first conductor and the second conductor. The electronics module is configured to transmit a first signal along the transmission line sensor, receive a second signal from the transmission line sensor, and analyze the second signal to determine information regarding deformation of the transmission line sensor caused by a force applied to the transmission line sensor.

A capacitive tamper detection system for safes, ATMs and cash storage devices deters theft and vandalism without damaging the safe or the currency contained within the safe. One or more sensor plates are mounted to the interior walls and/or door of the safe. The sensor plates are separated from the walls and/or door of the safe by a dielectric to form, along with the walls or door of the safe, one or more capacitors. The capacitors formed by the sensor plates and the walls and/or door of the safe are part of an RC circuit having a time constant that depends on the capacitance. The time constant of the RC circuit causes an astable multivibrator to oscillate at a particular frequency, outputting a frequency signal. Changes in the capacitance caused by damage to the walls and/or door of the safe changes the time constant of the RC circuit, which in turn changes the frequency signal. A control circuit monitors the frequency signal and initiates an alarm or other action when the variation on the frequency signal exceeds a threshold. The frequency signal may be easily monitored by converting the frequency signal to a voltage value.
