Магнитоконтактная система охранной сигнализации

Номер: RU0000170689U1

Полезная модель относится к области датчиков охранной сигнализации, реагирующих на изменение состояния охраняемого объекта, и может быть применена для обнаружения несанкционированных попыток вскрытия дверей, ворот, окон, сейфов и обеспечения формирования тревожного сигнала путем размыкания контактов магнитоуправляемого датчика.Большинство существующих магнитоконтактных датчиков допускают возможность саботажа внешним магнитным полем. Существующие магнитоконтактные датчики, устойчивые к саботажу, имеют сложную конструкцию. В полезной модели представлена устойчивая к саботажу магнитоконтактная охранная система простой конструкции.Сущность полезной модели заключается в использовании в системе охранной сигнализации антисаботажного датчика на основе нормально замкнутого геркона, устанавливаемого перед основным датчиком в направлении возможного саботирующего воздействия магнитным полем. В предлагаемом техническом решении основной и антисаботажный герконы включаются в электрическую цепь последовательно, и, таким образом, обеспечивается формирование сигнала тревоги при попытке саботажа.

Inferring building metadata from distributed sensors is described. In an embodiment multiple sensors are situated at various locations in a building detecting physical quantities (e.g. light, heat, motion). The data from at least one sensor is analyzed in order to detect events occurring in proximity to the sensor. Data about an event detected at a first sensor is compared with events detected at other sensors in order to identify correlated events from which connections between the sensor locations can be inferred and a building layout generated. In some embodiments a threshold may be applied to the data in order to filter out false events. In some embodiments the building layout may be used as part of a building control system. In some embodiments the sensor data may be used to determine if the sensor has been moved.

The largest of padlocks or security cables are easily defeated with bolt cutters. Thieves can readily sever the shackle of a padlock or a cable and hook up a trailer loaded with an expensive boat or other expensive equipment; and be off with it. Since padlocks currently do not wirelessly excite deterrents such as audio or visual alarms or alert authorities, thieves can conduct their nefarious activities in stealth. The GOTCHA alerts loud audible alarms, flashing lights and can activate scrutiny systems as both a deterrent and a means of alerting the powers that be. The GOTCHA is portable, wireless, and impervious to the effects of weather; and its protection cannot be defeated by destroying it. The GOTCHA accessory makes a padlock a part of a security system.

A transportable container is enabled with radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technologies to maintain automated inventory levels of those items that are inside the container. The inventory data is communicated via wireless methods, such as cellular or Wi-Fi, to a remote device such as enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The ERP system may use the inventory data received from the remote device to automatically update appropriately and generate appropriate records (e.g., container inventory, restocking, invoicing, etc.). In some embodiments, automated RFID scans are triggered when the container is opened and subsequently closed. The container may include RF containment/screening to prevent inadvertent scanning of RFID tags outside of the container. The container may also include a location device to allow the location of the container to be readily determined.

A system and method are disclosed that use information from a distributed, sensor-based network to decide if unwanted tampering is occurring within a utility infrastructure and how to respond. The system and method receive data from sensors located in embedded devices on the edge of the network (i.e., edge devices) and process the data to identify the presence or absence of indicators. A factor graph is generated and. updated with the indicators, along with historical incident and user-defined data, and relationships between the sensors. Based upon the factor graph, the system and method determine what events are occurring at edge devices and decide whether the events are tamper events caused by unwanted tampering. Enforcement programs are used to appropriately mitigate the tamper events.
