  • MOBILE PERIMETER ACCESS SECURITY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20120306651
    Abstract: A mobile security system is provided having a container configured to be moved to a plurality of locations. A walkway extends transversely through the container and provides access to an exit gate when the mobile security system is positioned adjacent an exit gate. The mobile security system includes a RFID detection system for detecting and identifying RFID tags that move through the walkway. If a RFID tag associated with a jobsite item is identified, an alarm system and/or camera devices within the container are actuated. The electronic components of the mobile security system are stored in a primary cabinet in the container so as to be inaccessible from the walkway. The container is configured to prevent damage to the electronic components caused by movement, vibration, or harsh environmental conditions.

  • Circuit Visualization Using Flightlines
    Publication number: 20120117530
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for displaying circuitry interconnections as flightlines between a component specified as the local component and the foreign components connecting to the local component. Upon obtaining data of the circuit components and interconnections, a user can designate the local component from among all of the circuit components. The system determines the foreign components connected to that local component, retrieves the flightline appearance display settings for the computer display, and renders a view of the specified local component and its foreign components with flightlines representing each interconnection connection. The flightlines can be color coded to indicate inputs, outputs or other characteristics of interest to the user.

  • Bio-Energy Reactor
    Publication number: 20110308962
    Abstract: A system includes an ionic exchange conduit through which a flow of photosynthetic biomass is drawn capturing an electrical charge which is used to alternately power a photonic activated reservoir housing a living photosynthetic biomass suspended in a flowing liquid medium which self generates an electrical charge as it migrates towards and through a cathode separated from an anode by a membrane. Upon electrical transfer through the circuit an electrolysis process begins and releases hydrogen and oxygen into enclosed atmosphere chambers where these separated gases can be captured for use in a fuel cell.
