20080204239 | Apparatus, system and/or method for wirelessly securing and/or for wirelessly monitoring an article - An apparatus, a system and a method wirelessly secure and wirelessly monitor an article. The apparatus, the system and the method operate as an alarm system that may prevent a theft and/or a removal of the article from a defined perimeter and/or defined perimeters. The apparatus, the system and the method may have one or more alarm boxes that monitor one or more heads. One or more of the heads may be attached to and/or may be electronically connected to one or more articles, such as, for example, portable electronic equipment. The articles be provided on display in and/or may be used, manipulated and/or transported by consumers in a store environment. The alarm box may be installed in close proximity to a display stand of the article. The alarm box may charge components of the head and/or the article while the head and/or the article are located on the display stand of the article. The head may power the article while the article is not connected to a power supply of the display stand and/or a power supply of the alarm box. The alarm box and/or the store environment may have one or more fence drivers. The fence driver may create one or more zones. The head has a fence detector that may detect whether or not the head and/or the article is located in a position within the zone. The fence drivers and/or one or more of the zones may be configured to control locations at which the head and/or the article may be used without triggering an alarm event. | 08-28-2008 |
20090266963 | Clamp, system and/or method for securing an article to a fixture - A clamp, a system and/or a method secures an article to a fixture. The clamp, the system and/or the method may prevent a theft and/or a removal of the article from the fixture. The clamp is attached to the article, such as, for example, a laptop computer. A vertical member extends from the clamp and may be situated within a recess of the article to prevent the clamp from being removed from the article. A tether secures the clamp and/or the article to the fixture. The vertical member of the clamp may have a plunger that may be depressed by the article while the article is situated within the clamp. | 10-29-2009 |
20100301998 | Multi-sensor alarm apparatus, system and/or method for securing articles - A multi-sensor alarm apparatus, system and method may prevent and/or may deter a theft and/or a removal of one or more articles from a display stand. A base, a main body and a head unit are provided. The base and the main body are secured to the display stand. The multi-sensor alarm apparatus monitors an integrity of the attachment of the main body to the base with a separation sensor. Further, the multi-sensor alarm apparatus monitors sensors connected to the head unit and/or to the main body. The sensors may be removed and/or added as needed depending on the articles to be secured. | 12-02-2010 |
20110084689 | Circuit, system and/or method for detecting an electrical connection between an electrical device and a power supply - A circuit, a system and/or a method detect a passive electrical connection and/or an active electrical connection between an electrical device and a power supply. An integrity of the electrical connection between the electrical device and the power supply is monitored to determine if the electrical device may have access to power and/or to determine if the electrical device may be secure while on display. A high frequency AC signal is modulated onto a positive power rail between the electrical device and the power supply. Capacitance circuitry of the electrical device may remove the high frequency signal from the positive power rail. An absence of the high frequency signal on the positive power rail indicates that the electrical connection exists between the electrical device and the power supply. A presence of the high frequency signal on the positive power rail indicates that the electrical connection does not exist between the electrical device and the power supply. | 04-14-2011 |
20120241108 | Fabric security barrier, system and/or method for impeding entry into a space - A fabric security barrier, a system and/or a method impede entry into a space. The fabric security barrier, the system and/or the method are installed adjacent to an entry point of the space. A tarp having a reinforced webbing on one side obscured from view is extended and/or retracted by a deployment system within the space. A steel cable is laminated between the reinforced webbing and the tarp. To enter the space through the entry point, an intruder must compromise a door or a window, the tarp, the reinforced webbing and/or the cable which may reduce an amount of time that the intruder may have to perpetrate a crime in the space and/or to flee before being noticed and/or apprehended. | 09-27-2012 |
