Abstract: A portable tower including a head assembly, a pole section including a telescoping section movable between a retracted position and an extended position and mounting the head assembly, a plurality of legs mounted to the pole section and movable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a solar panel assembly mounted to one of the legs.

Abstract: A system and method of threat detection using a pulsed polarimetric radar system using microwave range of frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. The system uses a radar principle to transmit and receive the scattered response from the target. A time pulsed upconverted frequency system is used to sample the target over a specified radio frequency (RF) bandwidth. The full 2-port scattering matrix (comprising all co and cross s-parameters) is captured using only one antenna with an OMT and delay lines, that represent the target. Several decompositions are used to describe the polarimetric signature of the target. The system uses polarimetric approaches to measure scattering properties of anomalous object concealed beneath clothing. The co-polarized and cross-polarized signals are analyzed to determine if a person is carrying an anomalous object beneath their clothing.

Abstract: A system and method that allows law enforcement agents and undercover officers to pass through a gateway screening system without setting off an alarm—provided that these personnel are “known” to the system. The system utilizes wireless technologies (i.e., RFID/NFC) that integrates with existing security screening system. The system reads a wireless tag (i.e., RFID/NFC) on his/her weapon and personal ID fob and authenticates them through a database. If the information is authenticated and verified, the system alarm is overridden and the officer can pass through. The Thrupass system can also be used to pass known larger items that would usually alert, such as trays or dollies in a hospital setting.

Abstract: A method for controlling an off-grid energy system. The off-grid energy system includes a gateway energy device and an expansion energy device. The gateway energy device comprising a gateway energy device, the gateway energy device comprising a first energy source, a first battery for storing energy from the first energy source, a first power output for outputting energy from the first battery, a first output lock for controlling the first power output, and a first radiofrequency (RF) transceiver. The expansion energy device comprising a second energy source, a second battery for storing energy from the second energy source, a second power output for outputting energy from the second battery, a second output lock for controlling the second power output, and a second RF transceiver for communicating with the first RF transceiver of the gateway energy device.
