Patent number: 8931690Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for detection of a substance on the surface of an object are disclosed. An RFID receiver can communicate with an RFID device to determine a position of the RFID device and to initiate a transaction. When the RFID device enters a defined volume, an illuminator can be triggered, which illuminator illuminates the RFID device. Light property data for the RFID device can be collected by a sensor, and the light property data can be compared to light property information for one or several substances. If the light property data matches the light property information, then a substance can be identified as present on the surface of the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Cubic CorporationInventors: Walt C. Bonneau, Jr., Jon D. Macklin

Patent number: 8720775Abstract: An access control system for sensing exposure to items of interest for a person associated with a unique identifier of a fare card or ticket is disclosed. The access control system includes the unique identifier, an exposure detector and a processor. The unique identifier associated with the person that is flagged when exposure is detected. The exposure detector detects exposure to items of interest by the person. The processor is coupled to the exposure detector. The message is communicated away from the processor to a remote location when the unique identifier is flagged.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Cubic CorporationInventors: Jon D. Macklin, Walter C. Bonneau, Jr., Bruce D. Roberts

Patent number: 8559669Abstract: Embodiments disclosed enable the detection of the presence of chemical, biological, and/or explosive (CBE) substance or other items of interest on individuals handling tickets, fobs, passes, smartcards, or other media. Embodiments generally contemplate issuing media at a first location and analyzing the media at a second location. Material sensitive to CBE substance can be applied to the media at the first and/or second location. An adhesive also may be used to attract and/or retain particles to the media for analysis and/or adhere the detection material to the media. Such embodiments can be utilized in airports, transit stations, and other applications where security against threats posed by CBE substance may be a concern.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Cubic CorporationInventors: Jon D. Macklin, Walter C. Bonneau, Jr., Jonathan P. Gluckman, Igor Dorovskoy

Patent number: 8205796Abstract: A method and system for processing exposure to an item of interest in a transit system is disclosed. Detectors are sensitive to the item of interest such as chemicals, biologic compound, radiation, nuclear, and/or explosives to produce detector or other information. A threat assessment value is determined periodically. The fare media is read for card information, which can be used in addition to detector or other information. The assessment value along with the card information, detector information and/or other information is used in determining if an action is taken, for example, if a user can pass a portal to get access to the transit system.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2008Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Cubic CorporationInventors: Jon D. Macklin, Walter C. Bonneau, Jr., Raymond DeKozan, Bruce D. Roberts, Joseph VJ Ravenis

Publication number: 20110215155Abstract: According to the invention, a fare card for storing information in a plurality of different ways for use in a transit system is disclosed. The fare card includes a card body that has at least a first region and a second region. The first region is located adjacent to an edge of the card body and has a first thickness. The second region has a second thickness that is different than the first thickness. A first data storage element for storing fare information is included in the first region, and a second data storage element is included in the second region.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2010Publication date: September 8, 2011Applicant: Cubic CorporationInventors: Walter C.

Patent number: 7936265Abstract: A smartcard or other media detects the presence of chemical, biological, radiation, and/or explosive (CBRE) compounds or other items of interest on individuals handling the smartcard or other media. The exposure is stored such that, when the card is presented to a reader, the detection data is transmitted to the reader for appropriate processing by the system. In one embodiment, this invention provides a detection methodology which captures the fact that the holder of the detection device has been in contact with an item of interest without external power. The detector card is then able to alert appropriate authorities of that exposure when the device is presented to a reader in the normal course of the holder's business.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Cubic CorporationInventors: Jon D. Macklin, Walter C. Bonneau, Jr., Raymond DeKozan, Joseph V J Ravenis, Bruce D. Roberts
