Abstract: A revolving security door includes a drum defining a secure zone between door openings controlled by a revolving door disposed within the drum and wherein light curtain sensors and active infrared sensors may detect an intruder moving from a non-secure side of the doorway to the secure side and detect objects left behind in a secure zone. Methods of operation prevent persons or objects from passing from the non-secure side to the secure side of the doorway.

Abstract: A blast resistant window structure capable of withstanding typical car bomb blast pressures of 100 psi or more and of resisting leakage of chemical or biological agents is described, the window structure including a frame hermetically enclosing two glass panels in confronting relationship defining an air gap therebetween, each glass panel having a thin layer of polymer film on each surface thereof, and a pressure relief valve in the frame for releasing air pressure from within the gap in response to blast pressure imposed on an outer surface of one of the panels.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing the removal of cassettes from an automated teller machine along their guide paths includes mountings and a plurality of retainers, each associated with its respective cassette. Each retainer is securable in an operational position on the mountings to extend into the guide path of its respective cassette to prevent removal of the cassette. Further, each retainer is movable from the operational position to allow removal of its respective cassette. The retainers may be removable from the mountings to allow removal of the cassette and lockable to the mountings. Two or more locking devices may be used in which the locks are operated separately or remotely. The retainer may be a suitably shaped elongate member such as a locking bar. Multiple bars can be used to retain a cassette. The retainers may guard the face of the cassette.

Abstract: A portable security housing is formed from a framework defining an interior space for enclosing items to be secured, such as vending machines. The framework has a rear wall, opposite side walls, an upper wall, and a front access opening. Opaque panels are secured over at least the side and upper walls to cover the housing, with the rear wall placed against a building wall or the like. A roll-up, sectional door is rotatably mounted at the upper end of the front access opening for movement between a rolled up, storage position above the front opening and an unrolled, downwardly extended deployed position covering and closing the front opening. The housing has floor mounting pads at its base for releasably mounting the housing on a floor or ground surface.

Abstract: A free-standing, portable retail merchandising unit having improved merchandise display features.

Abstract: A delivery access device attachable to a currency dispenser comprising: a mounting plate attachable to the currency dispenser, the plate having a money dispensing slot; two separate and independent barrier members mounted within the money dispensing slot, each barrier member having a first position where it is retracted and a second position where it is extended to obstruct access to the slot; two separate and independent actuators, a first of which is for moving one of the barrier members between its retracted and extended position, and a second of which is for moving a second of the barrier members between its retracted and extended position; and an electrical connector for connecting the actuators to the circuitry of the currency dispenser.

Abstract: A container device by which a patron of a hotel or motel can leave articles such as shoes outwardly of the patron's room door for pick up and servicing by an attendant, but with the assuredness that the articles are locked for withdrawal only by an attendant who has lock-operation ability. No such ability is required of the patron, who achieves the locked condition of a container by the embrace of the patron's door by an abutment carried by a retainer connected to the container; and it is provided that the room door, in closed condition, itself is used both to block the container's access opening as well as to provide an abutment co-operating with the abutment to block movement of the device away from the door. The abutment is made movable, providing if desired another setting in which a full release of the container is achieved by pulling the abutment and its retainer outwardly of the door.

Abstract: A transaction security device comprising a booth of a material and construction capable of selective voluntary entry and involuntary personnel retention and incorporating a transaction interface; entrance means for said booth; a closure for said entrance means, and control means adapted to secure and unsecure at least said entrance means; and cooperating with said booth, disposed, therein, or indeed independent thereof, at least one secondary enclosure adapted to contain apparatus disposed upon at least one turntable within a housing module composed of an enclosure, portions of which are independently rotatable about said turntable and the devices disposed thereon; and means for access to the interior of said housing and with said transaction interface.

Abstract: Transaction processing enclosures for containment of electronic data processing equipment, banking apparatus and the like incorporating a housing comprising a composite laminate composed of reflective, refractory and structural elements to provide an enclosure of unique structural integrity, and protection to the environment within and outside said enclosure against adverse factors such as impact and fire, and insulation against wide variations in temperature exterior to said enclosure while sustaining a stable environment within said enclosure.

Abstract: A glazing unit alarm system includes a light transmitting electrically conductive coating which extends over at least most of the area of a glazing panel and forms part of an alarm circuit. Changes in the resistance of the coating, occasioned by breakage or attempted breakage of the glazing panel, trigger an alarm. The alarm system is characterized by the electrically conductive coating being constituted by an emissivity coating, e.g. a low-emissivity coating, for modifying the effect of incident electromagnetic radiation on the glazing panel over different wavelengths.

Abstract: A transaction enclosure for housing electronic data processing equipment, documentation, valuable articles, banking pay-out and receiving apparatus and the like including a heat resistant housing, and an access and closure with various insulating layers and closure seals.

Abstract: Transaction processing enclosure for containment of electronic data processing equipment, banking apparatus, documentation, and the like including a housing that incorporates electrically conductive, structural, radiant heat reflective, fibrous, refractory, and ceramic insulating ply.

Abstract: A construction such as a building or the like in which banking transactions can be conducted in a more secure and businesslike manner. In essence, the structure is divided into a banking area and a teller's area by a security wall against which a plurality of individual booths are constructed in the banking area. Various communication and security means are provided in the booth such that the booth is locked from the teller's area such that robberies are initially discouraged and, if attempted, successfully foiled by the locking of the attempted robber in the booth to await security forces such as the police. In addition, the booths are each provided with a transaction opening in the security wall such that money, checks, etc. may pass between the teller's area and the booth. This transaction opening is adapted to be closed by a slidable door in the event that the opening is utilized to stage an attempted robbery.
