Alarm screen with embedded wireless transmitter
11557184 · 2023-01-17 ·

An alarm screen comprises a frame comprising a laser sensor, a processing unit, and a wireless transmitter embedded in a hollow interior. The frame comprises an opening for the laser sensor to project a laser beam outside of the alarm screen. The laser sensor projects the beam through the opening, makes a set of one or more measurements of a distance between the laser sensor and an object in a path of the laser beam, and sends the set of measurements to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to compare the distance measurements received from the laser sensor with a threshold distance detect, and send one or more signals to the wireless transmitter when at least one of the distance measurements received from the laser sensor exceeds the threshold. The wireless transmitter is configured to receive signals from the processing unit and wirelessly transmit the signals.

OPTICAL FIBER SENSING SYSTEM AND MONITORING METHOD
20220364909 · 2022-11-17 · ·

A system includes an optical fiber provided in a monitor area, a detection unit that monitors the monitor area, a monitor, and a control unit that displays a monitoring situation of the monitor area on the monitor. The detection unit detects an anomaly that has occurred in the monitor area and identifies a location on the optical fiber where the anomaly is detected, based on a vibration pattern included in an optical signal received from the optical fiber. On the monitor, as a monitoring situation of the monitor area, the control unit displays an arrangement situation of the optical fiber in an overlapping manner on a map of the monitor area, displays a mark indicating a location on the optical fiber where the anomaly is detected, in an overlapping manner on the map of the monitor area, and displays information indicating a detail of the anomaly.

SMART TRAILER SYSTEM

A smart trailer system coupled to a trailer of a vehicle includes a sensor configured to measure a parameter of the trailer, a sensor interface board electrically coupled to the sensor and configured to retrieve the measured parameter, and a master controller communicatively coupled to the sensor interface board via a data bus.

Defense and denial method

The presently disclosed method and system includes a network of computer devices, sensors, and actuators operating in concert with application software to actively detect, identify, and localize threats and generate real-time countermeasures designed to delay and/or mitigate damage that may be caused by the threats. Application software, in the form of automated reasoning and logic control, initiates preparatory and countermeasure sequences automatically, which may be used by users or automatically executed by the system to at least delay an attack to a physical asset/area by adversaries with use of non-lethal actuators. Learned scenarios are generated and continuously adapted via feedback loops and decision rules to provide preparatory and countermeasure sequences that maximize results with minimal expenditure of assets.

GATE-CONNECTOR SYSTEM FOR INTRUSION-DETECTION FENCING SYSTEM
20230037739 · 2023-02-09 ·

Devices, systems, and methods for intrusion-detection for use with a fence comprising a gate-section have been developed and are herein described. The present disclosure relates to and describes a gate-connector system for an intrusion-detecting-fence system. A intrusion-detecting cable is run from a fence to a gate section. On each side of the gate section, the cable is terminated into a junction-box and connected to a shorter cable-plug assembly that terminates in a weatherproof, pull-apart connector. The cable-plug assemblies from each side of the gate section are connected together to complete a circuit. With the intrusion-detecting cable extending onto the gate, intrusion-protection is provided on the gate section as well as on the fence. A gate at the gate section can easily be opened by unplugging the connectors.

Tamper detection based on removal of fastener from recess
11663368 · 2023-05-30 · ·

A point of sale (POS) device includes a flexible member with two exposed conductive areas that are part of a tamper detection circuit. While a recess receives a screw, the screw passes through apertures in the flexible member and in a conductive gasket, and the conductive gasket connects the two exposed conductive areas to one another, closing the tamper detection circuit. Adhesives affix the flexible member to the screw and the conductive gasket to the recess opening so that removing the screw from the recess separates the conductive gasket from the two exposed conductive areas, opening the tamper detection circuit.
