Abstract

A system for monitoring man-associated seismic movements within a control area including a geophone for generating an electrical signal in response to seismic movement, a bandpass amplifier and threshold detector for eliminating unwanted signals, pulse counting system for counting and storing the number of seismic movements within the area, and a monitoring system operable on command having a variable frequency oscillator generating an audio frequency signal proportional to the number of said seismic movements.

Acoustic emission intrusion detector

Patent Carver, Donald W [Knoxville, TN]; Whittaker, Jerry W [Knoxville, TN]

An intrusion detector is provided for detecting a forcible entry into a secured structure while minimizing false alarms. The detector uses a piezoelectric crystal transducer to sense acoustic emissions. The transducer output is amplified by a selectable gain amplifier to control the sensitivity. The rectified output of the amplifier is applied to a Schmitt trigger circuit having a preselected threshold level to provide amplitude discrimination. Timing circuitry is provided which is activated by successive pulses from the Schmitt trigger which lie within a selected time frame for frequency discrimination. Detected signals having proper amplitude and frequency trigger an alarm withinmore »« less

Non-intrusive ultrasonic liquid-in-line detector for small diameter tubes

Patent Piper, Thomas C [Idaho Falls, ID]

An arrangement for deleting liquid in a line, using non-intrusive ultrasonic techniques is disclosed. In this arrangement, four piezoelectric crystals are arranged in pairs about a 0.072 inch o.d. pipe. An ultrasonic tone burst is transmitted along the pipe, between crystal pairs, and the amplitude of the received tone burst indicates the absence/presence of liquid in the pipe.

Intrusion detection apparatus, system and methods

Patent Jenkins, Chris; Roesler, Alexander

Described herein are various technologies for detection and mitigation of rogue terminal attacks on multiplex data buses. An intrusion detection device is incorporated between a bus controller and a bus of a multiplex data bus. The intrusion detection device receives message that are communicated among the bus controller and a plurality of remote terminals (by way of the bus). The intrusion detection device determines whether messages are unauthorized based upon origins of the messages and predefined rules. When a message is determined to be unauthorized, the intrusion detection device outputs a notification that the unauthorized message has been detected andmore » can block the unauthorized message.« less

Hardware intrusion detection system

Patent Edwards, Nathan J.

An apparatus for intrusion detection includes processing circuitry, a switch, signal detection circuitry, and an analog-to-digital converter (“ADC”). The processing circuitry is coupled to send a challenge signal to a device when the device is coupled to the processing circuitry. The switch is coupled to be enabled and disabled by the processing circuitry. The switch is for coupling to the device to receive a response signal in response to the challenge signal sent by the processing circuitry. The signal detection circuitry is coupled to receive the response signal in via the switch, when the processing circuitry enables the switch. Themore »« less

Systems and methods for intrusion detection using GHz beams

Patent Russell, John L.; Prather, Dennis; Schuetz, Christopher

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that use 1 GHz to 1000 GHz sources and sensors to create an intrusion detection array that does not have the physical limitations of an Active IR sensor. The array is created by a plurality of wave sources and sensor pairs that form a plane of wave break beams. The plane detects an intruder as he/she passes through the beams.
