Abstract: A hybrid operation of a license plate recognition (LPR) system and infrastructure monitoring is provided. The system takes advantage of a first mode of operation of the LPR system, by running an infrastructure analytical tool which gathers infrastructure images in parallel with license plate detection. Analytics are applied, via a cloud based analytics engine, to provide detection of infrastructure anomalies, and prediction of potential infrastructure incidents. The system further generates a trigger alert warning of a potential infrastructure incident and recommendation to address the potential infrastructure incident.

Abstract: A security ecosystem, device and method for distributing physical resources based on workflow interactions is provided. A computing device determines that a trigger, of a safety-workflow, has occurred, comprising: determining, from distribution-tracking data, that distribution of physical resources in a region meets a suboptimal-distribution condition. In response, the computing device implement a first responsive action, of the safety-workflow, comprising generating an indication of the distribution of the physical resources in the region at an electronic map. The computing device implements an analysis component, of the safety-workflow, comprising: determining whether the distribution of the physical resources meeting the suboptimal-distribution condition meets a predetermined exemption condition.

Abstract: A communication_system, apparatus, and method are provided including a portable public safety (PS) radio that scans a portable non public safety (non-PS) communication device having electronic press credentials stored therein. A server temporarily registers the portable non-PS communication device and electronic press credentials. The server monitors movement of the temporarily registered device for boundary violations within a public safety incident scene, and communicates a warning to the temporarily registered device in response to boundary violations. Electronic press scores are saved and used as a basis to determine access to future registration requests at future incident scenes.

Abstract: A communication system (200) provides a self-driving vehicle (122) having a plurality of processor controlled interface devices (230) that acquire input pertaining to a detainee and an infraction associated with the detainee located within the vehicle. The processor controlled interface devices (230) provide mobile law enforcement processing and proceedings of the detainee within the self-driving vehicle (122). The self-driving vehicle (122) automatically delivers the detainee to an approved location determined by the mobile law enforcement processes and proceedings.

Abstract: A charging technique (200) charges a battery pack (102) by taking into account the additional internal circuit impedance of the battery pack. An optimum pack voltage value for the battery pack is calculated (208) based on the rated internal cell voltage as well as the charge current and the internal battery pack circuitry impedance. The battery pack can now be charged such that the internal battery cell voltage is maintained at the rated voltage throughout the charging process. The optimum pack voltage is also updated (220) to account for variations in the battery pack circuitry impedance over temperature (216, 218) as well as variations in charge current (222, 224) during the charging process.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (106) having an optically erasable portion (114) is joined to a substrate (102) such that the optically erasable portion faces the substrate. The substrate (102) includes an aperture (104) that exposes the optically erasable portion (114) of the integrated circuit providing erasing capability to the integrated circuit (106). A plug (110) impermeable to light may be inserted into the aperture (104) to provide a sealed window to the optically erasable portion (114) of the integrated circuit (106).
