Metal Protective Net and Protection Monitoring System
The present invention relates to a metal protective net, including: multiple steel wires arranged in parallel; multiple metal connecting sheets arranged in parallel, where the metal connecting sheets and the steel wires are arranged to intersect with each other at multiple intersections without being connected; insulating members which are provided between the steel wires and the metal connecting sheets and located at the intersections, and fixedly connected therewith; and connecting terminals, where both ends of each steel wire each are connected with one connecting terminal, and both ends of each metal connecting sheet each are connected with one connecting terminal; and a monitoring device electrically connected with the connecting terminals. The steel wires and the metal sheets, which form the metal protective net, are not electrically conductive with each other, forming many individual loops. If the metal net is broken, an alarm can be sent by the monitoring device.
Electricity meter arranged to detect fraudulent opening
An electricity meter includes a housing including at least one housing element that is normally closed; a supercapacitor and a power supply circuit arranged to act, whenever the electricity meter is put into connection with electric power, to charge the supercapacitor; both a charge-maintaining circuit arranged to act, whenever the meter has been taken out of connection with electric power, to prevent the supercapacitor from discharging so long as the housing element remains closed, and also a discharge circuit arranged to discharge the supercapacitor in the event that the housing element is opened; a processor circuit arranged to act, after the meter is put back into connection with electric power and in the event that the supercapacitor is discharged, to detect that the housing element has been opened since the meter was taken out of connection with electric power.
Inductive circuit sensor system and method
An inductive circuit sensor system and method for monitoring an electromagnetic signal path through a circuit is shown. A protected element or door is movably positionable adjacent to the stationary element or frame in a monitored position. A conductive sensor pattern element is connected to a pair of inductive coils. The pattern element is a conductive wire traversing a predetermined cross-section of the door. The frame has a transmitting coil in communication with a microcontroller. The transmitting coil is coupled with the first coil and a receiving coil is coupled with the second coil. The transmitting coil receives a signal from the microcontroller and couples the signal to the pattern element. The signal is in communication with a receiving port on the microcontroller. The microcontroller is programmed to compare the signal from the transmit port with the signal at the receiving port.

Facility device management system with smart power cords
A system that uses smart power cords with integrated sensors and wireless interfaces to manage devices in a facility such as a hotel. Each cord may monitor power delivered to an attached device, and may measure variables such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. It may also act as a gateway to other devices in the vicinity. A central control station may manage the devices in the facility via the smart power cords. Data collected from smart power cords may be analyzed to provide alerts and management reports. Illustrative alerts may warn of attempted theft when a device is unplugged, of environmental conditions that suggest mold risks or HVAC problems, or of a staff member requesting assistance via an emergency alert forwarded through a smart power cord. Locations of smart power cords may be automatically configured using either cooperative or non-cooperative localization based on measurement of signal characteristics such as RSSI.
Non-contact cybersecurity monitoring device
A cybersecurity monitoring device includes an electromagnetic (EM) field sensor for sensing a modulated signal transmitted on an electrical cable which encodes information by varying properties of a periodic waveform. The cybersecurity monitoring device includes a processor and a memory storing a data decoding program including protocol information for identifying a plurality of different communication protocols. The cybersecurity monitoring device is adapted for use without electrical contact in proximity to the cable so that the EM field sensor detects an EM field emanating from the modulated. The data decoding program responsive to detecting the EM field performs signal conditioning including digitizing the sensed modulated signal to provide a digitized signal, decoding the digitized signal using the protocol information used by the modulated signal to generate a decoded signal data, and reporting the decoded signal data or tampering determined from the decoded signal data to a remotely located device or system.
