Abstract: Dust accumulation monitors are provided to autonomously monitor dust accumulations. The dust accumulation monitors include a casing having a translucent portion, a light sensor configured to output a sensing signal based on sensed light penetrating through the translucent portion, a controller coupled to the light sensor to receive the sensing signal and configured to output a dust alert signal based on the received sensing signal, and a communication interface coupled to the controller and configured to output an alert based on the dust alert signal output by the controller. A dust accumulation monitoring system includes a plurality of dust accumulation monitors, and a central monitor communicatively connected to each of the plurality of dust accumulation monitors and configured to receive dust sensing signals from each of the plurality of dust accumulation monitors. The dust accumulation monitors may communicate through wired or wireless links with the central monitor.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a plurality of a user's authentication elements. In a preferred embodiment a user initiates a webpage browser session at a user website access device and activates a password manager program. The user's identity is authenticated to an authentication server and allowed to access a secure database comprising a plurality of website authentication elements. Thereafter, the user accesses a first secure website and the program determines the presence of a user authentication data field. When a user authentication data field is present the program instructs the authentication server to automatically transmit at least one of the authentication elements specific to the authentication data field of the first secure website to authenticate the user to the first website.
