Abstract: A virtual guard gate for a gated community has at least one camera positioned proximate an entrance gate of the gated community. A monitoring station monitor is provided for displaying images captured by the at least one camera located in an off site monitoring station. Receivers are located in a plurality of homes of the gated community for receiving the images captured by the at least one camera. An access device is located in the monitoring station and in each house within the gated community. The access device is used for opening the entrance gate when the images have been verified by one of an individual in the monitoring station or in one of the homes.

Abstract: A driver observation and security system has a plurality of sensors located on a vehicle. The sensors will indicate unauthorized entry into the vehicle. A plurality of interior camera modules is mounted in an interior of a vehicle. The interior camera modules provide real time images of the interior of the vehicle when at least one of the plurality of sensors indicates unauthorized entry into the vehicle. A control mechanism is coupled to the plurality of interior camera modules to control operation of each of the plurality of interior camera modules. A recording device is coupled to the control mechanism for storing the real time video images. A transmitter is coupled to the control mechanism for transmitting the real time video images for viewing at a remote location.

Abstract: A modular fence has at least one post member having a hollow interior section. At least one rail having a hollow interior section is provided. The rail is coupled to the post so the hollow interior section of the post member is in communication with the hollow interior section of the rail. A holding device may be formed on a bottom section of the post member to position the modular fence in an upright position. A plurality of openings is formed in the post member and the rail. Wiring is positioned in the interior section of the post and the interior section of the rail. Connectors are attached to the wiring. Security equipment is attached to the wiring via the connectors, wherein the security equipment is attached to at least one of the post member or rail through one of the plurality of openings.

Abstract: A mobile phone mounted apparatus permits a user to carry personal objects, such as keys, cards, and/or paper currency. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a money clip that is coupled to a mobile phone, and which permits a user to carry paper currency interposed between the apparatus and a mobile phone. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes one or more card pockets, into which cards may be inserted. The apparatus may further include one or more key pockets, and/or a housing into which personal objects, including for example keys, may be inserted.

Abstract: A driver observation system for extending the driver's point of vision to the corners of a vehicle by transmitting forward, side and rear light images from camera mirror assemblies at or near the front and rear corners of a vehicle to monitors within the driver's view at the controls of the vehicle. The system is suitable for either front or rear or both front and rear applications, as well as left or right or both left and right and may be installed after factory manufacture of the vehicle or as part of the original manufacture.
