  • Patent number: 9569942
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for securing a theft-susceptible movable object at a selected location. A security system is positioned at a selected location for protection of a theft-susceptible movable object. The security system includes a magnetic field source adapted to generate a magnetic field that is positionally-associated with a movable object. A monitoring device includes a magnetic sensor and is adapted for placement proximate to the selected location. The monitoring device is adapted to take one or more measurements of the magnetic field and to detect alteration in the measurements caused by movement of the magnetic field source relative to the monitoring device when the movable object is moved from the selected location. Upon detecting the alteration in the measurements of the magnetic field, the monitoring device is adapted to output an electronic warning signal indicating that the movable object has moved from the selected location.

  • Box
    Patent number: 5621387
    Abstract: A box for covering components or the like and for preventing unwanted access thereto. The box comprises a mounting panel having a pair of opposed sides, a top portion, a bottom portion and a back portion. The back portion is adapted to receive a fastener for mounting the mounting panel to a mounting surface. A cover fastener is received within the mounting panel. A slot is formed in the mounting panel and a corresponding tang is located within the cover which is adapted to receive an alarm device therein and removably envelop the mounting panel. A second opening is located in the cover for receiving the cover fastener when said mounting panel is enveloped within the cover.
