Abstract: A system for remotely monitoring the status of one or more fire extinguishers includes means for sensing at least one parameter of each of the fire extinguishers; means for selectively transmitting the sensed parameters along with information identifying the fire extinguishers from which the parameters were sensed; and means for receiving the sensed parameters and identifying information for the fire extinguisher or extinguishers at a common location. Other systems and methods for remotely monitoring the status of multiple fire extinguishers are also provided.

Abstract: A system for reducing security risks in, for example, an enclosed area where there are documents, computer discs, and other items which may contain security sensitive information. Each security sensitive item has an RFID tag attached thereto, and during non-working hours these items are placed in locked file cabinets, a safe or a vault. The area is periodically interrogated by an RF interrogator to ascertain whether the items are in their locked secured position or are in an open area.

Abstract: A security system for a building facility where radio frequency tamper-indicating devices are placed in the area of the facility to detect movement and/or relative movement of components under circumstances where such movement may indicate a security risk. One example is where there are ceiling tiles in a false ceiling which may be moved during a covert entry. An RF damage indicating device is placed at juncture locations of the tiles and tendrils of the tamper-indicating devices are positioned so that movement of one of the tiles will break the tendril and cause an alarm signal to be given. In other arrangements, tamper-indicating devices could be attached to security-sensitive objects, containers for the same, and building-related components so that movement of these security-sensitive objects would also trigger an alarm.

Abstract: An alerting device and method to remind personnel of a risk is disclosed. The device has at least two sensors, a logic controller, a power source, and an annunciator that delivers a visual message, with or without an audible alarm, about a risk to a person when the sensors detect the person exiting a predetermined space. In particular, the present invention reminds a person of a security, safety, or health risk upon exiting a predetermined space. More particularly, the present invention reminds a person of an information security risk relating to sensitive, proprietary, confidential, trade secret, classified, or intellectual property information.
