Abstract: Described herein are enhanced visual & audio devices for use in access control systems. In one aspect, the device includes a reader, a first sensor, and at least one processor. The reader receives a user credential. The first sensor detects motion within a predetermined distance from the device. The at least one processor triggers at least one output notification if motion within the predetermined distance from the device has been detected by the first sensor. In one aspect, the device is mounted to a surface proximately to an access point to a controlled area and the device includes a second sensor that detects motion that is indicative of a person passing through the access point.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a universal cup or mug that is configured for use by both able-bodied individuals and upper limb amputees. The universal cup of the present disclosure includes a handle designed to enable an upper limb amputee to insert a portion of their arm (e.g., their forearm) through the handle to operate (e.g., pick up, drink from, and put down) the cup such that single arm operation of the cup is easy, efficient, and effective. The handle is configured to keep the cup stable and secure while in use (e.g., when the cup is filled with liquid, lifted off a surface, and titled to enable the user to drink) for easy operation by the user. Furthermore, the handle is also configured to enable easy use for able-bodied users. Thus, the handle of the present disclosure enables the cup to be universal in use.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an adjustable camera enclosure. The camera enclosure includes a housing, a camera mounting assembly, and a base. The housing is aligned along a longitudinal axis and includes a hollow interior, a first end, a second end and an aperture through a wall of the housing. The aperture extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The camera mounting assembly is disposed in the hollow interior of the housing and slidable within the hollow interior along the longitudinal axis. The camera mounting assembly can receive a camera such that a lens of the camera is oriented to the aperture of the housing. The base is coupled to the second end of the housing and is mountable to a surface. The base is rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the surface to rotate the housing about the longitudinal axis.
