Abstract: A building protection system and method is provided which is responsive to the release of hazardous agents both outside and inside of a protected building. For an outside release, an array of sensors surrounding the perimeter of the building is triggered to provide and indication that an external release has occurred. These external sensors operate in real time and are set at relatively high thresholds to prevent false positives. Upon initial detection of a release in a concentration above the threshold level of a perimeter sensor, a central processor connected to receive a release signal from the sensor will shut down all external air exchanges for the building and activate an over-pressure system for the building interior to insure that contaminated external air does not enter. Exterior sampling inlets are monitored to determine if high agent concentrations exist as a confirmation of the indication given by the perimeter sensors. Should an internal attack occur in the entrance area, or other internal area of a protected building, an internal sensor system will cause the central processor to close off the affected area, and activate the over-pressure system to pressurize unaffected areas. Sampling inlets connected in various areas within the building will monitor these areas to determine if they have been contaminated and the concentration and type of contaminating agent. The processor can activate a decontaminant spray system to decontaminate the contaminated areas.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la gestion de fingers affectés dans un système de télécommunication sans fil, par exemple à accès multiple par différence de code (AMDC), utilisant un mécanisme de verrouillage de finger. Le procédé comprend une série d'étapes, la première étape consistant à recevoir une affectation de finger en provenance d'une section de recherche d'un dispositif de communication. La force de signal de l'affectation de finger est ensuite déterminée, ainsi qu'un intervalle de temps sur lequel la force de signal existe. L'affectation de finger est alors comparée à de multiples seuils de force de signal et à un seuil de temps. L'étape suivante consiste à évaluer l'affectation de finger pour un fonctionnement combiné en fonction du seuil saturé parmi les seuils mentionnés ci-dessus. L'affectation de finger est activée, en particulier, pour un fonctionnement combiné s'il s'agit d'une nouvelle affectation de finger ou si elle continue de saturer un seuil de force de signal. En variante, l'affectation de finger n'est pas activée pour un fonctionnement combiné mais n'est pas non plus désaffectée (par exemple, un état verrouillé) si elle ne réussit pas à saturer le seuil de force de signal combiné mais sature le seuil de force de signal de verrouillage sans dépasser le seuil de temps. Enfin, la commande de l'affectation de finger est transférée au dispositif de recherche si l'affectation de finger ne sature pas le seuil de force de signal de verrouillage.
