摘要: Examples of systems and methods for locating movable objects such as carts (e.g., shopping carts) are disclosed. Such systems and methods can use dead reckoning techniques to estimate the current position of the movable object. Various techniques for improving accuracy of position estimates are disclosed, including compensation for various error sources involving the use of magnetometer and accelerometer, and using vibration analysis to derive wheel rotation rates. Also disclosed are various techniques to utilize characteristics of the operating environment in conjunction with or in lieu of dead reckoning techniques, including characteristic of environment such as ground texture, availability of signals from radio frequency (RF) transmitters including precision fix sources. Such systems and methods can be applied in both indoor and outdoor settings and in retail or warehouse settings.

摘要: A smart cable lock is provided that is configured to mechanically secure items and provide an automatic determination that securing is achieved. The smart cable may be integrated into a vehicle, or otherwise may communicate with a vehicle. The vehicle includes one or more ports configured to house the cable when not in use. In some embodiments, an accessory includes one or more ports configured to engage with the connector. In some embodiments, the cable is affixed to the vehicle at one end, using a retractor, for example, and can be unspooled, intertwined with equipment, and then secured to a port on the vehicle. The smart cable lock secures and releases a latch based on user indications and authorizations. For example, if the cable is destroyed or damaged, or an unauthorized indication is made, the cable lock system may sound an alarm, or otherwise alert the user.

摘要: An anti-tamper assembly is disclosed for a circuit board which comprises one or more electronic components. The assembly comprises a container having side walls, a first closed end and a second, opposing open end, the container being configured to be mounted on said circuit board at said open end, over at least one of the electronic components to form, in use, a sealed cavity around said at least one of said electronic components. The assembly further comprises a source of radioactive particles mounted within the container, an image sensor for capturing image frames within said sealed cavity, in use. The image sensor comprises a detector region defining an array of pixels, a screen member located, in use, within the cavity between the radioactive source and the detector, said screen member having at least one aperture, and a processor for retrieving said captured image frames, monitoring said image frames for changes in the statistical distribution of active pixels and, in the event that statistical distribution of active pixels indicates the presence of a feature in an image frame, generating a tamper alert.

摘要: A method for tracking agricultural material to be transferred from a first entity to a second entity includes generating a transaction record indicating a destination location for the agricultural material and a first amount of the agricultural material to be applied at the destination location, receiving measurement information indicating a second amount of the agricultural material applied by vendor equipment at the destination location and location information indicating locations of the vendor equipment while applying the second amount of the agricultural material, updating the transaction record based on the received measurement information and location information, and at least one of transmitting, using a satellite data communication protocol, the transaction record to the second entity, and determining whether any of the agricultural material was not applied at the destination location based on a comparison between the first amount and the second amount and transmitting a notification based on the determination.

摘要: Data in a portable electronic device is protected by using external and internal status detection means to determine if the device is misplaced, lost, or stolen. The device then takes, singly or in combination, one of several actions to protect the data on the device, including declaring its location to an owner or service provider, locking the device or specific functions of the device to disable all data retrieval functionality, erasing or overwriting all the stored data in the device or, where the data has been stored in the device in an encrypted format, destroying an internally-stored encryption key, thereby preventing unauthorized access to the encrypted data in the device.
