Abstract: A sensor system to turn on room lights when a person enters such room but avoids nuisance tripping of the system when a person passes near but outside of the region to be monitored. The inclusion of blinder devices which can be individually set, ahead of the sensor elements, permit the region being monitored to be tailored to the particular room or location. Adjusting levers can be used to set the positions of the blinder devices and then covered to prevent tampering with the settings of the blinder devices. Special fasteners can be used to limit access to the adjusting levers.

Abstract: A messaging system uses the standard email subject line to control where a message gets delivered, when a message gets delivered and the appearance of a message when it gets delivered. This enables a company to use its standard intranet email system as a pseudo real-time messaging transport with a range of delivery options. Several codes control the features of the alerting message, and a predefined escape sequence for use by the sender is recognizable by a dedicated server. This escape sequence enables these codes. By placing the escape sequence in a predetermined location in each message, the sender indicates to the system that codes for controlling the features of the alerting message follow the escape sequence. Using these codes, the user can then specify when, how often and in what manner the alert message is displayed to the recipient in a window on the recipient's workstation. In addition, the sender can certain aspects of message routing and delivery using these codes. In addition, routing of the message within the network can be controlled by the sender in the same manner by specifying a particular routing within the subject line of the message following the escape sequence. This includes routing the message to a facsimile, a pager or a telephone, or voice mail system. This is in addition to the normal email address used in the message.

Abstract: Dispositif qui simule à la fois une source radioactive et une source de matières chimiques dangereuses et détecteur de radioactivité et de matières chimiques dangereuses, destiné à former des personnes afin qu'elles puissent utiliser correctement un vrai détecteur de radioactivité ou de matières chimiques dangereuses. Un dispositif d'identification radio passif (PRID) est utilisé pour simuler la source de matières dangereuses. Ledit PRID comporte un circuit accordé, un condensateur de stockage d'énergie, un émetteur, un micro-ordinateur et un aimant. Ledit détecteur simulé comporte un dispositif à effet Hall pour détecter l'aimant. Lorsque l'aimant est détecté (quand une personne qui s'entraîne déplace le détecteur simulé à proximité du PRID), le détecteur simulé produit une rafale d'impulsions HF de 50 ms. L'impulsion HF fait résonner le circuit accordé contenu dans le PRID et une tension est produite au niveau du circuit accordé. Cette tension charge le condensateur de stockage d'énergie par l'intermédiaire d'une diode. lorsque le condensateur est chargé, le micro-ordinateur est activé par le courant fourni par le condensateur de stockage. Une fois activé, le micro-ordinateur attend l'achèvement de l'impulsion de 50 ms et active ensuite l'émetteur. Ledit émetteur émet ensuite un signal qui identifie le type de contamination au détecteur simulé. L'émetteur utilise ensuite le circuit accordé en tant qu'antenne.
