Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for pedestrian footfall counting are provided. The system includes a plurality of pedestrian footfall counting devices configured to capture and record optical data of pedestrians. The system further includes one or more relay servers configured to receive the optical data from the pedestrian footfall counting devices. The system further includes one or more counting servers configured to process the optical data and determine a pedestrian footfall count based on the optical data.

Abstract: A system including a transmitter, a receiver, and a conduit is provided. The transmitter is within a first network, and is in communication with at least one other device within the first network. The receiver is within a second network, and is in communication with at least one other device within the second network. The conduit is formed between the transmitter and the receiver, and is capable of carrying a signal transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. To maintain the unidirectional nature of the conduit, either the transmitter is incapable of receiving any signal via the conduit or the receiver is incapable of transmitting any signal via the conduit.

Abstract: A wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) is disclosed for monitoring both authorized and unauthorized access to a wireless portion of a network. The WIDS consists of a collector and one or more nodes that communicate via an out of band means that is separate from the network. Unauthorized access points and unauthorized clients in the network can be detected. The WIDS can be used to monitor, for example, a network implemented using the 802.11 protocol. In addition, the WIDS can be used by one company to provide a service that monitors the wireless network of another company.

Abstract: A remote data acquisition and processing system is provided. One embodiment of the system of the present invention for use in monitoring utility operation includes at least one optical imaging device for generating computer-readable image data of a visual representation, generated by a utility meter, of utility operation-related data. A host processor, which is remotely located from the optical imaging device and the utility meter, is also provided in this embodiment of the present invention for generating the utility operation-related data from the image data and for storing the image data.
