  • Publication number: 20230403307
    Abstract: A secure network device management system and method include monitoring and validating commands to network devices before such commands are executed. The security system accumulates inputs from a network device intended for display on a terminal and provided by the network device in response to inputs from the terminal and received by the network device. When a control input to execute the command is received from the terminal, the security system reproduces the command from the accumulated inputs and compares the reproduced command to a command list to determine whether the command is authorized. If so, the security system provides the control input to the network device such that the network device executes the command. Otherwise, the security system may delete the command and transmit an alert to the terminal.

  • Patent number: 10488398
    Abstract: A chemical impairment detection system adaptable for use in a vehicle. The impairment detection system includes an intake adapted to receive an air sample from a source and an alcohol sensor for detecting an alcohol level in the air sample. An integrated breath chamber channels the air sample from the intake to the alcohol sensor. Source evaluator means in the breath chamber measure one or more characteristics of the received air sample for validating the sample. The source evaluator means measures the air sample characteristics as the air sample flows through the breath chamber.
