Abstract: A system includes a head board with a first head processor, a first carrier board, and a first junction. The first carrier board includes a first plurality of connectors configured to communicatively couple the head board to one or more first acquisition modules with a first attachment pattern. The first carrier board is configured in a first simplex or a first redundant configuration based at least in part on the first attachment pattern. The first junction is configured to removably couple the first carrier board with a terminator or to removably couple the first carrier board with a second carrier board.

Abstract: A document access control system includes a location-based document reader designed to provide a reading service, a location-based physical storage located in a first location and designed to store a physical document, and a location-based document server. The location-based document server stores an electronic document and delivers the electronic document to the location-based document reader. The location-based document reader derives a second location, and provides access to the electronic document based on the first and the second locations.
