  • Patent number: 8537010
    Abstract: A system and method to enhance vault security and management. An identity of a user is electronically validated. A floor plan of the vault and associated location of an authorized resource is retrieved in access computer. The user is then signaled a location of the resource within the vault.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6121875
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for sensing selected conditions particularly adjacent to an unoccupied commercial business building and taking the appropriate action. Corrective action may include shutting down a system, sending a signal to an occupied location for evaluation of the selected abnormal condition, or making a record of the abnormal condition for rectification at a later time. The system includes one or more light level sensors including microcomputer controlled photocell units directed to observe the light level at selected locations and to transmit signals indicating sensed light values below a desired value, and includes a receiver receiving the transmitted signals and which responds to such signals to produce a correction signal. If the commercial establishment is a bank and the light level is at an ATM (automatic teller machine) the system may respond to the correction signal by temporarily shutting the ATM machine down and illuminating a sign to indicate that the ATM is not open.

  • Patent number: 5774052
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for sensing selected conditions particularly for an unoccupied commercial business and taking the appropriate action. Corrective action may include shutting down a system, sending a signal to an occupied location for evaluation of the selected abnormal condition, making a record of the abnormal condition for rectification at a later time. The system includes one or more light level sensors directed to observe the light level at a selected location, a CPU or controller which stores data representing acceptable light levels and a schedule. If the light level at the selected area does not reach or maintain the desired light level, corrective action is taken. If the commercial establishment is a bank and the light level is at an ATM (automatic teller machine) the system may temporarily shut the ATM machine down and illuminate a sign to indicate that the ATM is not open.

  • Patent number: 5596934
    Abstract: A seismic restraint system for vault located bank safety deposit box modules and the like. This system includes a beam or strongback which extends along the top of a row of safe deposit box modules. A series of adjustable columns bear against the beam and the ceiling of the safe deposit vault. Horizontal bars extend laterally from the beam for securement to an adjacent wall or other vertical support. In one embodiment, a rectangular beam assembly with a plurality of adjustable columns is used to secure a freestanding stack of modules. Resilient pads and stepped beams accommodate differences in heights of modules.
