Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for configuring a detector, the system comprising: a programming unit remote from the detector and comprising a man/machine interface making it possible to define configuration data of the detector, a communication link between the programming unit and the detector, a controller in the detector, the controller making it possible to activate or deactivate at least one key of the detector.

Abstract: An individual access control portal includes two panels or columns that define a through corridor, which panels or columns are equipped with sensors designed to detect substances or materials liable to be carried by individuals travelling through the portal, wherein the portal is equipped with a plurality of detection barriers distributed along the direction of passage through the portal and logic means attached to the plurality of barriers, firstly to determine from the series of activations of the barriers, the place and movement of an individual and secondly to establish the correlations existing between the movement of an individual and the signals output by the substance or material detection sensors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable metal detector adapted for detection of dangerous metallic items carried by individuals, for example during access to a departure lounge in an airport, comprising a casing which houses a transmitter/receiver winding, the casing being extended by a gripping and handling handle, and a processor which feeds a loop of the winding to generate a magnetic field and which detects perturbations of the magnetic field caused by the environment, characterised in that the detector comprises a sensor for detecting orientation of the detector in a vertical position of the handle and which, when the detector is in a vertical position, activates a single dynamic detection mode of the winding whereas, when the detector is in another position, it activates a static operating mode of the winding.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable detector for metal detection, the detector including: a head extending longitudinally and comprising an inductive transducer for generating a magnetic field and measuring a variation in inductance, a body including a controller programmed to control the activation or the deactivation of a standby function of the detector, and a sensor for measuring one or more of the displacement of the detector or the orientation of the detector, wherein the controller controls the activation of the standby function as a function of signals received from the inductive transducer and from the sensor.
