Abstract: An occupancy sensor may include a plurality of user-selectable mounting features that enable the sensor to be mounted to building structure in a variety of ways. The sensor may include: a nipple for engaging a connector associated with the building structure; one or more key hole slots for engaging fasteners associated with the building structure; and one or more flat side surfaces for engaging corresponding flat surfaces of a mounting plate associated with the building structure. A spring on the flat side surface may lock the sensor to the mounting plate. The nipple may be removable to allow the sensor to be flush mounted to the building structure. The sensor may also include a user-adjustable lens that enables a user to make discrete adjustments of the field of view of the sensor according to present levels. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an apparatus and method for sensing and detecting a number of physical, biological and chemical characteristics of a person, preferably in connection with the process of verifying the identity of the individual. The apparatus may be employed as part of the check-in procedures at airports, bus stations, train stations, cruise ships and other vessels, as well as other situations where identification verification may be required, e.g. banking transactions and the like.
