A multi sensor detection and disabling lock system includes detector cases for holding interchangeable detectors that sample for chemical, biological and radiological compounds, agents and elements, with each detector case disposed in or upon the monitored product. The detector case transmits detection information to a monitoring computer terminal and transmits a signal to a lock disabler engaged to the product to lock or disable the product's lock thereby preventing untrained, unauthorized and unequipped individuals from gaining access and entry to the product, and also preventing further contamination of the area. The detection system can be interconnected to surveillance towers scanning detector cases disposed at seaport docks, freight depots and rail terminals for monitoring containers being prepared for shipment or sitting on docks for long periods of time.

According to an aspect of intrusion detectors for lorries, there is provided a method of detecting intrusion of one or more persons into cargo hold of a vehicle carrying goods that emit carbon dioxide the method comprising identifying an intrusion event by detecting a decrease in concentration of carbon dioxide within the cargo hold. For example, the intrusion evident may be identified by detecting a decrease in concentration of carbon dioxide within the cargo hold of at least 400 ppm. A decrease in CO.sub.2 can be attributed to unauthorised access being made into the cargo hold as cargo holds typically remain closed during a journey.

An electric meter includes a meter shell configured to be within an outer utility box. A meter socket and blades are for coupling to openings of the socket. The openings include utility-side and premises-side openings for the blades to extend into. A meter processor is coupled to measurement circuitry, and to a communications unit including a transceiver. A gas sensor is positioned proximate to the blades for sensing ≥1 gaseous compound product resulting from an arc discharge across air involving the blades. During operation of the electric meter, responsive sensing a presence of the gaseous compound product, the gas sensor generates an output signal. Responsive to the output signal being above a predetermined threshold level, the electric meter triggers an alert signal that is transmitted to an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) which indicates an identity of the electric meter and that the electric meter had experienced the arc discharge.

A multi-sense platform is provided and includes a first sensor, a second sensor and a controller disposed in signal communication with the first sensor and the second sensor. The controller is configured to determine a presence of a first type of gas based on readings of the first sensor and to distinguish between a first one of the first type of gas and a second one of the first type of gas based on readings of the second sensor.

Apparatus and methods for detecting and reporting pollution at an oil facility are disclosed. The technology utilizes a logic control system to read from a pollution sensor and present the sensed data as a pollutant from a leak. The pollution leakage can be further managed and reduced.

A health advisory alert system for a vehicle is presented. A controller may determine whether a vehicle occupant is preparing to exit the vehicle. Upon determination that the vehicle occupant is preparing to exit the vehicle, the controller may determine a location of the vehicle, determine a health advisory metric based on the location of the vehicle, and determine whether personal protective equipment should be worn based on the health advisory metric. Upon determination that personal protective equipment should be worn, the controller may output a notification to the vehicle occupant indicating that personal protective equipment should be worn.

A gas detection device that gives a notification of a detected gas on the basis of a captured image obtained by capturing an image of a monitoring target, the gas detection device including: a gas detection unit that detects gas on the basis of the captured image and gives a notification of the detected gas; an input unit that receives input information from a user; a mask candidate region extraction unit that extracts a mask candidate region that is a candidate region of a mask region for which a notification of gas detection is suppressed; and a mask generation unit that generates mask data indicating the mask region, in which the gas detection unit gives a notification of a gas detected outside the mask region, and the mask generation unit generates, as the mask data, a region in which first mask candidate region information input from the input unit matches second mask candidate region information extracted by the mask candidate region extraction unit.
