  • Publication number: 20150173255
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for providing certifiable shielded cabinets and rooms, or pods, to protect devices, equipment and people from electromagnetic interference such as electromagnetic pulse, and directed energy attack. The method simulates the separate electric and magnetic shield requirements and capabilities of each type of materials, simulating them separately and together to form a combined set of materials layered for an enhanced electromagnetic shield that is lighter weight and less expensive. Further disclosed is a system and method for SCADA, RFID, and OID monitoring and controls to enable initial and ongoing testing and control.

  • Patent number: 6958676
    Abstract: A system for authorizing vehicle and passenger entry into a secure area while the vehicle is moving is disclosed. The vehicle passenger authorization system verifies the identity of the vehicle and its occupants while the vehicle is moving, thereby eliminating the need for the vehicle to stop as it approaches a secure area. Vehicle imaging technology is used to identify the vehicle. Biometric technology is used to confirm the identity of the occupants of the vehicle. By combining the biometric information of the occupants with the vehicle identification, an efficient and safe means for automatically controlling the flow of traffic into secured areas is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20020018256
    Abstract: A determination is made as to whether sequential binary bits modulating optical energy have a certain bit pattern by applying the energy to an optical line having plural points from which optical energy is derived. The propagation speed of the optical energy in the line, the duration of the bits and the locations of the points are such that each of the binary bits passes by each of the points for approximately the same time, the propagation time of the energy between adjacent points equals the duration of each bit and the bits at the points are substantial replicas of the sequential binary bits modulating the optical energy. The values of the bits at the points are compared with the certain bit pattern to provide the determination.
