Provided are methodologies to properly assess and manage operational risks at operations sites, e.g., a manufacturing, production or processing facility, such as a refinery, chemical plant, fluid-catalytic-cracking units, or nuclear energy plant, or a biological or waste management facility, airport or even financial institutions, or at any facility in which operations are often accompanied by risk associated with many high-probability, low-consequence events, often resulting in near-misses. In some operations, processes are monitored by alarms, but the invention operates on either process data or alarm data. The methods are based upon measurement of one or more variables, and/or utilization and management of the concept of “hidden process near-miss(es)” to identify a change or escalation, if any, in probability of occurrence of an adverse incident. The methodologies combine a plurality of subsets (also useful independently) of dynamically calculated leading risk indicators for dynamic risk management.

Apparatus and Method for Detecting Tampering with an Infra-Red Motion Sensor

Номер: US20130240739A1
Автор: Pinhas Shpater
Принадлежит: NINVE JR Inc

An infra-red motion detector for monitoring motion in a monitored space is described. The motion detector includes, within a housing, an infra-red radiation sensor sensitive to infra-red radiation incident through a window. A refractive optical system within the housing selects incident infra-red radiation for redirection onto the infra-red sensor. An external light source mounted externally of the housing directs external light through the window providing a recognizable light input. A refractive Fresnel patch mounted externally to the window selects incident light from the external light source and redirects it to a tamper sensor within the housing. A detection controller processes signals output by both sensors in monitoring the space. The detection controller detects incident light from the external light source and trips a tamper alarm in failing detection, and further detects changes in infra-red radiation in the monitored space and trips an intrusion alarm upon detecting changes.

Systems and methods for using state machines to manage alarming states and pre-alarming states of a hazard detection system are described herein. The state machines can include one or more sensor state machines that can control the alarming states and one or more system state machines that can control the pre-alarming states. Each state machine can transition among any one of its states based on raw sensor data values, filtered sensor data values, and transition conditions. Filters may be used to transform raw sensor values into filtered values that can be used by one or more state machines. Such filters may improve accuracy of data interpretation by filtering out readings that may distort data interpretation or cause false positives. For example, smoke sensor readings may be filtered by a smoke alarm filter to mitigate presence of steam.

An initial set of parameters for operating one or more detection tools is automatically derived and subsequently adjusted so that each detection tool is more or less sensitive to signal characteristics in a region of interest. Detection tool(s) may be applied to physiological signals sensed from a patient (such as EEG signals) and may be configured to run in an implanted medical device that is programmable with the parameters to look for rhythmic activity, spiking, and power changes in the sensed signals, etc. A detection tool may be selected and parameter values derived in a logical sequence and/or in pairs based on a graphical representation of an activity type which may be selected by a user, for example, by clicking and dragging on the graphic via a GUI. Displayed simulations allow a user to assess what will be detected with a derived parameter set and then to adjust the sensitivity of the set or start over as desired.

A facility monitoring system and application receives and interprets readings from multiple sensors for determining a condition, alert or alarm and initiating appropriate notifications. Low-cost, deployed sensors detect or receive a parameter pertaining to a condition in a physical space, such as temperature, electric flow, or an open door. A channel to a remote monitoring server or application receives and reports the reading via a user accessible GUI (graphical user interface). A compound or aggregate value is computed from multiple channels based on readings from a plurality of sensors, thus allowing reporting of conclusory conditions based on several related readings, rather than a single scalar sensor value that imposes a burden on the user to deduce or investigate other related sensor readings. A GUI receives aggregation processor defining computations to be performed on readings from the multiple sensors, and alert processor defining conditions and alerts representative of issues requiring attention. 1. In a facility environment having a plurality of sensors deployed around a facility defined by a perimeter and an area for sensing environmental and ingress/egress conditions , a method of gathering sensor data , comprising:associating, at a monitoring server, a channel with each of the sensors in the facility environment, each channel configured to transport and store a parameter value for the associated sensor;receiving, from each of a plurality channels in the facility environment, a sensor reading indicative of a physical condition or occurrence in the facility environment;combining readings from a plurality of the channels into a new channel having a value computed from the combined channels; andstoring the computed value in a history file with the readings from the other channels, the history file responsive to chronological inquires based on the channels.2.

INDUCTIVE SECURITY SENSOR NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO MAGNETIC TAMPERING

Номер: US20160086482A1
Автор: Hanrahan Robert M.
Принадлежит:

An inductive security sensor system is not susceptible to magnetic tampering (such as by using an external magnet or false target). A sensor assembly includes an inductive sensor (inductor coil), mounted in a relatively secure location, and a conductive proximity target incorporated with an object (such as a window or door, or an object/asset). An alarm condition can be detected as either a displacement condition in which the proximity target is displaced relative to the inductive sensor, or a tamper condition in which magnetic coupling between the proximity target and the inductive sensor is interfered with (such as by introducing a false conductive target) An inductance-to-data converter drives the inductor coil with an excitation signal to project a time-varying magnetic field for magnetically coupling to the proximity target. The IDC acquires sensor measurements (such as coil inductance), which are converted into corresponding sensor data representing alarm conditions (displacement or tamper). 1. An inductive security sensor system , comprising an inductive sensor, including an inductor coil, installed in a relatively secure location, and', 'a conductive proximity target incorporated with an object in proximity to the inductive sensor;', in a secure-proximity condition, the proximity target is at a secure-proximity position relative to the inductive sensor, and', a displacement condition occurs when the proximity target is displaced from the secure-proximity position by a pre-defined displacement, and', 'a tamper condition occurs when magnetic coupling between the proximity target and the inductive sensor is interfered with without the occurrence of a displacement condition; and, 'an alarm condition occurs for either a displacement condition or a tamper condition, where'}], 'such that'}], 'an inductive sensor assembly including drive the inductor coil with an excitation signal to project a time-varying magnetic field for magnetically coupling to the proximity ...
