  • Patent number: 6799723
    Abstract: An automated voting system comprising single or multiple voting stations for controlling and being a voting station simultaneously. The voting system includes an integrated pointing device with graphical user interface for displaying the ballots. The voting stations may or may not be interconnected and indeed may operate as a single unit as a complete polling station. The voting system will track the number of votes and continuously display the number of votes cast on a counter system as it clearly displays the voter intent. The automated voting system also provides security for the voter and the system both internal and external. The external security system may be controlled by the polling authorities while the internal security system operates independently. The automated voting system is also capable of providing multiple ballot styles in one or more voting units and provides a touch electronic keyboard for write-in candidates.

  • Patent number: 5257007
    Abstract: A fully hand portable security system includes a plurality of radio transmitter equipped detectors with batteries, configured to generate one or more radio signals indicating the sensing of a potentially hazardous environmental condition by the detector and a central controller including a weather resistant housing including a radio receiver, a processor and power supply circuitry, operator audible and visible alerting devices and connectors activating or deactivating various optional or other devices at the location and transmitting alarm or other trouble warning message to remote location. The controller is configured to be powered by either AC or DC power supply, including an external, hand portable battery providing a multiday power supply for operating the system for at least one week. Operation of the system is as simple as carrying the components to the area to be protected, hand install the detectors about the area, connecting the controller to the selected power supply and turning the controller on.
