20130275941 | DEFINITION OF OBJECTS IN OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENTS - In an object-oriented programming environment having a hierarchical object structure an object type is defined by declaring different types of objects and properties associated therewith. A base type is declared. Properties for the base type are declared. A set of aggregated objects comprising individual objects of different types is declared. The set of aggregated objects is to be instantiated in a master object created from the object type. A set of auxiliary objects comprising individual objects of different types and associated with the object type is declared. The individual objects of the set of auxiliary objects are to be instantiated in respective locations in the hierarchical object structure. | 10-17-2013 |
20120210798 | PRESSURE TRANSDUCER ARRANGEMENT - A pressure transducer arrangement and method of operation is provided. The pressure transducer and methods of operation reduce error in determining an offset value by eliminating error relating to fluid flow through the transducer arrangement when the offset value is determined. In a particular embodiment, the apparatus and method includes a lockout valve that prevents fluid flow between first and second fluid pressure sources when the offset value is determined. | 08-23-2012 |
20120169872 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING DURESS - The system and method is an analysis video to determine if a person is displaying a pre-determined position indicating that he/she is being held or forced to act under duress. The system takes a digital video image and compares the image to a library of video duress patterns. If a duress pattern is recognized, then the system notifies another party of the situation, such as a security officer. | 07-05-2012 |
20120169499 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING PHYSICAL SECURITY VIA DETECTING POTENTIAL INTRUSION - A method and system for detecting potential intrusion includes a plurality of objects that can be potentially touched, such as a door handle. A sensor is associated with the object that can be potentially touched for determining if the object has been touched. The system has a control system for receiving information from the plurality of sensors and a database for collecting information regarding potential intrusions. The system has an intrusion detection system for analyzing the relative time and location of the object to be touched for analyzing the data gathered to determine patterns and variations from the patterns. An operator is notified of potential intrusions. | 07-05-2012 |
20120169461 | ELECTRONIC PHYSICAL ACCESS CONTROL WITH REMOTE AUTHENTICATION - The system has an authorizing device, such as a cellular telephone, and a mechanism for receiving information related to a particular facility and the user's access rights based on the location of the authorizing device. The authorizing device is placed in proximity to a secured portal. The user is required to authenticate theirself to the authorizing device via biometric and/or a PIN. The authorizing device then sends a signal to a locking device associated with the secured portal. | 07-05-2012 |
20120169458 | Method and System for Monitoring Physical Security and Notifying if Anomalies - A method and system for monitoring access requests for physical access to a location includes a plurality of access control devices for control accessing to specific locations. The system determines if access is authorized based on comparing information associated with the request with a database. Access is granted to a physical location based on the comparison of information. In addition, the system compares an access request to prior access requests. The system determines if the access request is an anomaly from previous requests. If the access request is an anomaly from previous requests, the system notifies an operator that the access request is an anomaly. | 07-05-2012 |
20120169457 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY ASSIGNING ACCESS RIGHTS - The system and method take changes in a person's or groups' status and by following a series of steps (rules) ensures that the person or groups are given proper access to a secure location. The system has at least one access control device for controlling the flow of persons in a physical setting to at least one secure area. An access control database of the system contains information regarding criteria for allowing access to the at least one secure area. A control system receives information from the at least one access control device and compares it to the access control database to determine if access is to be granted. A rules unit gathers information from various sources and updates the access control database. | 07-05-2012 |
