  • Publication number: 20240161562
    Abstract: A door system includes a door jamb, a door panel including a box disposed therealong, a hinge coupling an edge of the door panel to the door jamb, a flexible conduit extending from the door jamb to the edge of the door panel, and a plurality of electronic components. The flexible conduit is configured to facilitate electrically coupling one or more of the plurality of electronic components to an external power source. The plurality of electronic components include a camera disposed within the box, a light integrated into the door jam, a sensor configured to facilitate detecting at least one of sound or activity proximate the door panel, and a backup battery disposed within at least one of the door jamb or the door panel. The backup battery is configured to power at least one of the plurality of electronic components during power loss from the external power source.

  • Patent number: 11922748
    Abstract: A door system includes a door jamb, a door panel, a window disposed in the door panel, a plurality of electronic components, a hinge pivotally coupling an edge of the door panel to the door jamb, and a control system disposed within the door panel. The plurality of electronic components include an electronic locking mechanism coupled to the door panel, a camera coupled to the door panel, a sensor configured to facilitate detecting at least one of sound or activity proximate the door panel, and a backup battery disposed in at least one of the door jamb or the door panel. The edge of the door panel is configured to receive power from an external power source to power the plurality of electronic components. The backup battery is configured to power at least one of the plurality of electronic components in an event of power loss from the external power source.

  • Patent number: 10284525
    Abstract: A device for secure transmission of vehicle data over vehicle datalinks that may be shared with passenger devices and are connected to a publicly shared network is provided. The device comprises a processor embedded within a portion of an Ethernet cable for a vehicle. A plurality of applications resides in the processor and comprises a VPN application, and a VPN address and certificate update application. A first Ethernet transceiver communicates with the processor through the VPN application and also communicates with onboard electronic equipment. A second Ethernet transceiver communicates with the processor through the VPN application and also communicates with an external datalink. The VPN application automatically establishes a VPN when the datalink is available, provides an authentication certificate to verify that the device is a correct and legitimate node, and verifies a VPN hosting certification to determine whether the device is communicating with a correct and legitimate external facility.

  • Patent number: 8572404
    Abstract: A system includes a multi-core computer processor. One or more cores of the multi-core computer processor are configured as a security co-processor for the system and for other cores of the multi-core processor, and one or more cores of the multi-core computer processor are configured as a safety manager co-processor for the system and for other cores of the multi-core processor. An operating system of the security co-processor and an operating system of the safety manager co-processor are independent of operating systems of the other cores of the multi-core processor. The security co-processor and the safety manager co-processor are configured to boot before the other cores and to enforce security policy and/or safety policy on the other cores.
