The compliance fields contain information related to compliance with a security standard applied to the facility. The information is compared to predetermined values indicative of compliance with the security standard. An indicator signifying whether the facility is in compliance with the security standard is generated. The state of the indicator is based on a result of the comparing. | 10-04-2012 |

20120133512 | Interrogator and interrogation system employing the same - The present invention is directed to an interrogator, method of discerning metal and radio frequency identification (RFID) objects, and an interrogation system employing the same. In one embodiment, the interrogator includes a metal sensing subsystem configured to provide a first signal having a signature representing a presence of a metal object, and a RFID sensing subsystem configured to provide a second signal having a signature representing a presence of a RFID object. The interrogator also includes a control and processing subsystem configured to discern a presence of at least one of the metal and RFID objects from one of the first and second signals. | 05-31-2012 |

20120025531 | ENERGY GENERATION USING INTERMEDIARY BUFFERING - The present invention is a device for converting rotational energy into useable power by buffering the created rotational energy from the rotational energy used to create the output power. Thus, in one embodiment, a pendulum within a buoy is used to create rotational energy from ocean wave movement and the created rotational energy then drives a hydraulic pump which in turn drives a hydraulic motor to create a second rotational force which is then used to create an electrical output. In this manner, the hydraulic fluid acts as the buffer between the wave-created rotational energy and the rotational energy actually used to create the output electricity. | 02-02-2012 |
