  • Patent number: 10223888
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to authenticate tags passing through detection regions against an access control list, receive data that identifies a number of people passing through or within the detection regions, compare the number people identified by the received data with the number of tags identified by the system, and cause an alarm to be asserted when a discrepancy is detected in the number people identified with the number of tags in a detection region with personnel within the detection region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2016
    Date of Patent: March 5, 2019
    Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbH
    Inventors: Stewart E. Hall, Robert F. Brewin, Scott M. Clements
  • Patent number: 10152864
    Abstract: A networked system for managing a physical intrusion detection/alarm includes an upper tier of server devices, comprising: processor devices and memory in communication with the processor devices, a middle tier of gateway devices that are in communication with upper tier servers, and a lower level tier of devices that comprise fully functional nodes with at least some of the functional nodes including an application layer that execute routines to provide node functions, and a device to manage the lower tier of devices, the device instantiating a program manager that executes a state machine to control the application layer in each of the at least some of the functional nodes.

  • Patent number: 9651656
    Abstract: A real-time location and tracking system includes location markers programmed with location information of the locations that the location markers are affixed to and a mobile RTLS tracking system to read location information from nearby location markers and a mobile RTLS monitoring and display system. The system is configured to receive signals from the mobile RTLS tracking system that includes a microprocessor and memory that control the functionality of the mobile RTLS monitoring and display system to display status and geo coordinates of the mobile RTLS tracking system.

  • Publication number: 20150249548
    Abstract: Disclosed is a gateway between a first sub-network and a second sub-network, the first sub-network being isolated from the second sub-network, the gateway being configured to send, to a first node of the first sub-network, information for use in establishing a bridge to a second node of the second sub-network; and a device comprising the first node, the first node being configured to use the information to establish a bridge to the second node, the bridge for enabling communication between the first node and the second node that does not pass through the gateway.
