Abstract: Submersible transducer includes a transducer housing configured to be submerged within an aqueous liquid and a pressure sensor operable to obtain data for determining a pressure of the aqueous liquid. The pressure sensor may be disposed within the transducer housing. The submersible transducer also includes a submersible cable having an electrical conductor and a venting tube operably coupled to the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor uses an atmospheric pressure of an external environment that is detected through the venting tube to determine the pressure of the aqueous liquid. The submersible cable also includes a cable jacket and an inner layer that is surrounded by the cable jacket. The inner layer surrounds the electrical conductor and the venting tube. The inner layer includes a non-hygroscopic polymer that is more resistant to absorbing the aqueous liquid than the cable jacket.

The body can be formed of a porous material compatible with at least one of an ionic liquid or room-temperature molten salt. The body can have a pore size gradient that decreases from the base of the body to the tip of the body, such that the at least one of an ionic liquid or room-temperature molten salt is capable of being transported through capillarity from the base to the tip.

Abstract: A physical access control system enables acceptable portal entry codes upon receiving each physical access request by operating on the elapsed time from a previous physical access request to generate a temporal credential. The controller receives a plurality of physical access requests from a plurality of mobile application devices. Upon authenticating the first access request, the controller eliminates repetition from the space of acceptable successor requests from each mobile application device. Monotonic nonces advance the range of temporal code matches. Entry code generation is decentralized to distributed application devices and is inherently unknowable until a successor access request is initiated by the same application device.

Abstract: For each area of a service subscriber, an occupancy control server maintains an access control list and a census of authorized occupants within the area. The server receives a query from a mobile security device, checks for access control permission, and transmits an updated census of authorized occupants to each authorized occupant in the area. Each occupant transmits its identification indicia and responds to requests. Each occupant demands an encrypted credential from a responding mobile security device not found in the most recently updated list and relays it to the occupancy control server for validation.

Abstract: A cryptographically enforced data exchange is disclosed that enables an exchange of customer travel records between a plurality of travel providers while preserving customer privacy.

Abstract: A physical access control system triggers an alert when cameras or sensors determine an action e.g. entry into or occupancy of a reserved region. The system may caution the pilgrim to present a credential or affirm proper attire and safety equipage upon entry into the penumbra of the reserved region. Within the penumbra, a pilgrim may preempt the access control challenge or alert by presenting his credential or by signally his intention to enter the reserved region. A surveillance and security system records all entries and occupancy of reserved areas but suppresses alarms and alerts on the condition that a credential bearer is within the geo-fenced region. A reserved area has both umbra and penumbra regions with various effects of entry, occupancy, and presentation of credentials. Alerts can be preempted in the penumbra and unfaulted in the umbra by presentation of a credential.
