  • Patent number: 6014080
    Abstract: Tamper resistant body-worn tracking device to be worn by offenders or potential victims for use in a wireless communication system receiving signals from a global positioning system (GPS). The tracking device directly communicates spacial coordinates to multiple remote sites. The tracking device is an enclosed case worn on a limb of a person. The case contains a battery, a signaling device, and a circuit board containing a field programmable gate array, a wireless data modem, a conventional GPS receiver, and a matched filtering GPS receiver.

  • Patent number: 5982281
    Abstract: A redundant system is provided for simultaneously notifying a victim about the approach of an offender when a message is sent to a central data base. The system includes multiple communication paths and assured message delivery. The offender's portable tracking apparatus is equipped with a memory card that sends and receives data and instruction to/from a central data base. The offender's position, determined by a Global Position System, is communicated simultaneously to a victim's portable tracking apparatus, to the central data base, law enforcement and the offender's supervisory authority. A connectionless oriented analog or digital wireless or circuit switched connection oriented digital or analog wireless signal is employed.

  • Patent number: 5959533
    Abstract: A body worn transmitter and its associated portable monitoring receiver receiving global position signals, is provided with tamper detection to support twenty-four hour violation reporting from a subject under community supervision moves about the community. The body worn transmitter incorporates active radio frequency sensors to determine if the body worn transmitter has either been removed from the subject's body or the attachment strap has experienced tampering for the purpose of removal from the subject's body. A signal from the body worn transmitter is encrypted in order to prevent recording and retransmission of the body worn transmitter signal to an associated portable monitoring receiver for the purposes of masking body worn transmitter tampering or to make the body worn transmitter falsely appear in a different location. The body worn transmitter can be immersed in electrolyte solutions without generating a false tamper signal.
