Publication number: 20050197844Abstract: Network-centric systems and methods for monitoring the security of a cargo container during shipment from an origination point to a destination are described. The cargo container includes a container security unit (CSU) having an electronic container identifier. As the container is loaded with various contents, a container processing system obtains produces a manifest of the contents using wireless data collection. The manifest, which also includes the container identifier, is sent to a central server for storage. As the cargo container is shipped through a port, warehouse or other shipping location, the CSU provides a status update to the central server. The status update may include a location of the cargo container, the container identifier and a status of a door seal, hazard detector and/or the like. As the cargo container arrives at its destination, another container processing system creates an arrival report of the received contents that can be compared to the manifest at the central server.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2004Publication date: September 8, 2005Inventors: Joseph Ng, George Wells, Peter Lauenstein

Publication number: 20050184115Abstract: A quick release holster assembly for carrying an object like a firearm is provided. The holster is preferably worn inside the trousers. A holding member for receiving a firearm is coupled to a planar member capable of actuating in a cantilever fashion. A pair of retaining members extend from the planar member towards the holding member. The holding member, the retaining members and the planar member form a closed loop, as the planar member is preferably preloaded such that at least one of the retaining members makes contact with the holding member. The retaining members extend in an essentially perpendicular fashion from the planar member, and include frictional members, like a rubber grommet for example, that allows the holster to “cling” to the user. TO put the holster, the user slides the holding member between his or her torso and the waistband of the trousers.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2004Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventor: George Wells
