US Classification:

702187, 702188

Abstract:

A data retrieval and collection system is described. The system includes a plurality of measurement sensors, and at least one transmission unit associated with and interchangeably coupled to each of said measurements sensors. Each transmission unit includes an input for receiving measurement data from its respective sensor. The measurement data is received in a format specific for the respective sensor. An output communicates the measurement data. The system further includes an addressable base unit to be placed in communication with each transmission unit. The base unit automatically receives the measurement data from each transmission unit.

Abstract:

An automated system for mitigating risk from a wind farm. The automated system may include an array of a plurality of image capturing devices independently mounted in a wind farm. The array may include a plurality of low resolution cameras and at least one high resolution camera. The plurality of low resolution cameras may be interconnected and may detect a spherical field surrounding the wind farm. A server is in communication with the array of image capturing devices. The server may automatically analyze images to classify an airborne object captured by the array of image capturing devices in response to receiving the images.

Abstract:

A system and method for the management of electronic credentials stored on mobile devices The system may encrypt information that is provided to a lock device and an access control system using diversification keys. The diversification keys may be generated by supplying a master key and a component identifier such as, for example, a mobile device identifier, to a diversification algorithm. The mobile device may be a conduit for the communication of information between the access control system and the lock device The mobile device may be unable to decrypt information that has been encrypted by a diversification key. Embodiments also provide for enrolling administrative mobile devices with the access control system, the distribution and revocation of credential identifiers for user mobile device, and removing administrative mobile devices that are enrolled with lock devices.
