Abstract: A redundant security system relies on a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag to convey security sensor data. If the RFID tag is unable to convey security sensor data, a backup photoelectric cell powered transmitter is activated to transmit security sensor data to a monitoring station. Alternately, a security safe is outfitted with a RFID tag based security sensor. The RFID tag allows remote monitoring of at least one of an opened/closed condition and a locked/unlocked condition of a door of the security safe.

Abstract: In accordance with the principles of the present invention utilizing a first radiation monitoring module, radiation information associated with the first radiation monitoring module within a tunnel is wirelessly transmitted to a second radiation monitoring module. The second radiation monitoring module is able to receive radiation information from the first radiation monitoring module for relay of the received radiation information to a central monitoring system. The radiation monitoring modules of the present invention allow long term monitoring of a tunnel's radiation levels with maintenance simply requiring replacement of a non-operational tunnel monitoring module by a robot.

Abstract: A photoelectric cell powered based security system relies on a photoelectric cell powered detector to transmit security information to a main control panel. An optional extender relays security information between a local photoelectric cell powered detector and a main control panel in the event that the local photoelectric cell powered detector is unable to directly communicate with the main control panel.

Abstract: An RFID based security system detects a lock/unlocked condition when securing a premise and an open/close condition of a window and/or door to monitor for an intruder. A local interface polls a RFID tag and relays a read value to a user panel for a determination if an intruder has opened a window and/or door. Alternately, the local interface is connected to at least one of a second local interface and the user panel to form a security network. The security network is relied on to convey security information to the user panel for a determination if an intruder has opened a window and/or door.

Abstract: Shipping containers are networked for transferring data between the shipping containers. The shipping containers include sensors for detecting hazardous conditions associated with the shipping containers. The hazardous condition sensed by any shipping container on a ship is transmitted through the network to a satellite transmitter and/or a radio transmitter for reporting to a central database.
