Patent number: 11269107Abstract: A security portal includes magnetic field sensors in a sensor assessment network (SAN) for tracking a magnetic dipole target. Each sensor includes a sensor transducer, a sensor coil, and a digitally controlled potentiometer. A sensor controller applies a stepped voltage, samples an output frequency at each stepped voltage value, generates a magnetic sensor response curve, and converts a non-linear response of the sensor transducer to a magnetic field value for each x, y and z channel as a function of frequency for a specific potentiometer setting based upon the sensed magnetic dipole that is tracked in the security portal. A SAN controller receives the magnetic field values from each channel and determines the magnetic field vectors of the target over each sample.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: MIS SECURITY, LLCInventors: Cory J. Stephanson, Scott A. Sterling

Patent number: 10165228Abstract: A sensor event assessor trainer and integrator is disclosed. In one embodiment, a sensor event assessor assesses any event detected by at least two sensors and provides assessment information about the event. A different event detection system provides an input regarding an event. A collaborator combines the assessment information with the different event detection system input to generate a user recognizable output for presenting the integrated event information.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: MIS SECURITY, LLCInventor: Cory J.

Patent number: 10107872Abstract: A self-calibrating magnetic field monitor is disclosed. In one embodiment, a magnetic field sensor repeatedly generates an electronic signal related to the magnetic field. In addition, a calibration module generates a relative baseline signal based on an average value of the electronic signals for a given time period. A comparator compares the electronic signal with the relative baseline signal and generating an output signal if a difference in the comparing is greater than or equal to a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: MIS SECURITY, LLCInventor: Cory J.

Patent number: 9354291Abstract: A dynamically self-adjusting magnetometer is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first sample module periodically generates an electronic signal related to at least one magnetic field characteristic of a monitored environment. A second sample module periodically generates an electronic signal related to at least one magnetic field characteristic of a monitored environment. A summing module sums the absolute value of the electronic signal from the first sample module and the electronic signal from the second sample module. A delta comparator module receives the electronic signals from each of the first sample module, the second sample module and the summing module and compares each of the electronic signals with a previously received set of electronic signals to establish a change, wherein an output is generated if the change is greater than or equal to a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Broadband Discovery Systems, Inc.Inventor: Cory J.
