Patent EP-1965188-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VOKEY DAVID E
IPC: G01M3/16
Filed: 2008-02-26
Abstract: A moisture detection sensor is used in a building structure to detect moisture penetration. The sensor is a flat adhesive tape of a substrate (3) of dielectric, hydrophobic material. Three or four elongate, parallel, conductors (1,2,5) are secured to the top surface and a protective layer (6) of non-hygroscopic, water pervious material is secured over two of the conductors so that they are exposed to surface moisture. One or two of the conductors are covered by an insulating layer (11) to prevent moisture access. Pairs of moisture probes (9,10) along the length of the tape penetrate the insulating layer, the respective conductors and the substrate and to extend into a building component (7) to which the substrate has been adhered. A diode guide arrangement allows a monitoring unit to monitor the exposed conductors for surface moisture and the penetrated conductors for moisture in the component by reversing polarity of the voltage across the conductors.

Abstract: A piston (3) coupled to a piston rod (7) is fitted in a sealed cylinder (2) in which oil is contained. During an extension stroke of the piston rod, a damping force is generated by an extension-side valve body, and at the same time, a valve-opening pressure of an extension-side main valve (13) is adjusted by an inner pressure in an extension-side backpressure chamber (15). During a compression stroke of the piston rod, a damping force is generated by a compression-side valve body, and at the same time, a valve-opening pressure of a compression-side main valve (23) is adjusted by an inner pressure in a compression-side backpressure chamber (25). A simple structure is realized by using a common guide bore for guiding the extension-side valve body and the compression-side valve body. Check valves (38,45) are provided at both ends of the guide bore and communication passage are provided through the extension-side valve body and the compression-side valve body so that an amount of excess oil due to a movement of the extension-side valve body and the compression-side valve body can be expelled, thereby improving responsiveness of the shock absorber.

Abstract: A method and system detects potential suspicious behavior in a monitored facility. The monitored facility includes at least one point of transaction terminal. Video content of an activity occurring at the monitored facility and transaction data relating to a transaction processed at the transaction terminal are collected. The video content is correlated with the transaction data to produce correlated data. A set of user-defined rules are applied to the correlated data. Responsive to identifying a match between the correlated data and at least one rule of the set of user-defined rules, the transaction is determined to be potentially suspicious.
