Abstract: A light unit used in train tunnels is readily mountable and removable from a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket allows the battery backup system and light engine to be gravity mounted in manner that allows for quick and easy mounting and removal while also resisting vibrations and wind. A quick disconnect fitting can be used with the power cord to allow the units to be removed and replaced as needed. The light unit integrates the light engine with a battery backup system so that the entire light and battery unit is removed and replaced when necessary.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for use with a security system such as a benefit denial system may involve a containing element configured to receive an asset that may include a benefit for a user of the asset. The apparatus may include an electrical circuit operatively associated with the containing element and configured to communicate information to a receiver outside the containing element. The information may be configured to be used by the benefit denial system to provide the benefit to the user. Apparatus and methods for executing a conveyance of an interest in an asset from a first party to a second party may involve a containing element having an electrical circuit configured to communicate information corresponding to the asset to a receiver outside the containing element. An electrical circuit may be provided with means for destruction of the circuit by an asset user.

Abstract: A lockable storage case includes a top cover pivotably coupled to a bottom cover through a spine. The top cover includes loops or an upper lock receiving member and a lower lock receiving member defining a top cover lock insertion path. The bottom cover includes loops or an upper lock receiving member and a lower lock receiving member defining a bottom cover lock insertion path. The lower lock receiving members of both the top and bottom covers include hooks for receiving and maintaining a latch. When the top cover is closed on the bottom cover, the top and bottom cover insertion paths combine to form a combined lock insertion path. A lock for the storage case includes first and second catch mechanisms with first and second catches. To lock the storage case, the lock is inserted into the combined lock insertion path so that the catches on the lock mate with and are retained with the hooks in the top and bottom covers.

Abstract: A security tag in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a membrane operable for attachment to merchandise, wherein the housing is connected the membrane, a monitoring device operable to monitor whether a party removes or attempts to remove the housing from the membrane and an alarm operable to emit a tamper signal when the monitoring device indicates that a party has removed or attempted to remove the housing from the membrane in an unauthorized condition. A security system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a security tag operable for connection to merchandise to be secured, a monitoring device operable to monitor whether a party removes or attempts to remove the security tag from the merchandise and an alarm operable to emit a tamper alarm signal when the monitoring device indicates that a party has removed or attempted to remove the security tag from the merchandise in an unauthorized condition.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for locking and unlocking a lockable container that has an internal locking mechanism are disclosed. The apparatus may include a main body including a channel for receiving the container. A magnetic field source coupled to the main body may emit a magnetic field for actuating a container lock catch mechanism disposed at least partially inside the container. The apparatus may include a channel blocker that may be positioned by actuating a channel lock to selectively prevent the magnetic field source from actuating the catch mechanism of a container lock. The channel lock may be coupled to a cam configured to position at least a portion of the channel blocker in the channel. In some embodiments, the apparatus may include a ramp retractor coupled to the channel blocker wherein the ramp retractor urges the channel blocker down through the channel by action of the magnetic field.

Abstract: A lockable container that has a slot for hanging on a merchandising rack as well as an integral locking mechanism is provided. The container includes a spine coupling two covers together. The covers include recessed openings that are aligned with each other to form a slot that passes through the container when the first and second covers are closed together. The container also includes a locking member located opposite the spine for enclosing and locking an asset. The container includes a plurality of clips for retaining and securing any type of asset. A portion of the container is transparent to permit a potential customer to view the asset in the container. The container is firm, cost effective, user and environment friendly and not overly sized.

Abstract: Benefit denial systems may include a benefit denial device that secures an asset within a container. The benefit denial device may include a base member and at least one locking member. In some embodiments, portions of the asset and the container may be secured between the base and locking members. By securing the asset between the base member and the locking member, the asset may be damaged or rendered unusable if a thief attempts to remove the asset from the container.

Abstract: A storage case comprises a top cover, a bottom cover, and a spine. The bottom cover includes a hub portion having a cylinder and is disposed on a frustum shaped member. The diameter of the cylinder is smaller than the upper diameter of the frustum shaped member. A plurality of projections are arranged around the hub portion on the bottom cover. The projections each include a first projection having a first height and a second projection having a second height higher than the first height. The first projections define a first circle with a first diameter. The second projections define a second circle with a diameter which is larger than a diameter of the first circle. A hub coupling member having a crescent extending therefrom is disposed on the top cover. The top and bottom covers each have a side wall disposed near the spine which are effective to create a second wall, parallel with the spine, when the covers are closed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for locking and unlocking an asset placed in a containing element may include a locking member. The containing element may be closable and may include a first lock receiving element and a second lock receiving element. The first lock receiving element may be drawn together with the second lock receiving element to close the containing element such that the first and second lock receiving elements are enclosed within the containing element when the containing element is closed. The containing element may be configured to receive an asset container. The containing element may be configured to detachedly contain at least one item. A locking member may include a base configured to be present within both the first and second lock receiving elements when the containing element is closed.
