Tools & Robotics

Access control system for use in restricted areas and industrial environments:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US10403110B2/en

This patent describes a system that uses a sensor to detect human presence through electrostatic fields, with applications in safety, security, and access control systems, enabling greater automation and simplifying security tasks.

This patent describes a system that integrates a sensor capable of measuring electrostatic fields to detect human presence near the sensor, distinguishing humans from other animals or objects. The sensor leverages the electrical characteristics of the human body, which have dierent potential compared to other objects, resulting in electrostatic discharges. The sensor continually measures fluctuations in the field, allowing it to discriminate between human presence and other materials or animals.

The invention can be applied to safety and security systems in industrial facilities, such as robot arms that stop when an operator is within their radius of action. Additionally, the system can be used as an access control system for restricted areas, oering a more precise and easier to implement solution compared to prior art. This can be achieved through a virtual fence or a crossing point detector in sensitive or restricted areas like railway platforms or loading docks.

The system can be integrated into various environments and can help simplify security tasks and enable greater automation. The sensor's antenna is versatile and can be arranged dierently in each application to define a physical space enclosed by the emitted field.

Automotive & Transportation

Security systems and method for vehicles:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US10752214B2/en

A vehicle security system using electrostatic sensors for detecting disturbances by humans, objects, or animals. It's adaptable to multiple use cases

This patent describes a vehicle security system that is more specific and easier to implement than existing solutions. The system uses electrostatic sensors to measure disturbances caused by human presence, objects, or animals near or inside a vehicle. The antenna, usually an electrode, transmits a directed electrostatic field to detect disturbances in the field.

The arrangement of the antenna varies for each use, enabling the definition of a closed physical space by the transmitted field based on the physical structure in which it is implemented. The system is adaptable to dierent elements for each specific case, providing simplicity and flexibility.

The vehicle security system has multiple configurations: first, as a detector of objects attached to a vehicle by sensing people approaching or handling foreign objects; second, as a security element inside vehicles for detecting suitable positions for safety clips or identifying people in restricted areas; and finally, for precisely detecting a vehicle's position in a parking lot or area.

Civil Defence & Security

Weapons and explosives detector and detection method:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US11086041B2/en

A more precise and easier-to-implement weapon and explosive detector that measures disturbances in an electrostatic field. It covers various implementations to detect dierent threats.

This patent describes a weapons and explosives detector, specifically for detecting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), car bombs, land mines, and weapons in hideouts or other locations. The detector is more precise and easier to implement than existing methods, as it measures disturbances in an electrostatic field due to the presence of any object nearby.

The detector includes at least one electrostatic sensor with an antenna that transmits a directed electrostatic field, enabling it to detect disturbances in the transmitted field. The arrangement of the antenna varies for each use, allowing for the definition of a "covered" physical space by the transmitted field based on the physical structure in which it is implemented.

The patent covers various aspects and implementations of the invention, enabling detection of IEDs, car bombs, land mines, and weapons by identifying people approaching or handling suspicious elements that could be considered threats. The invention encompasses all possible combinations and preferred implementations for dierent use cases and scenarios.

Domestic security system:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US10754054B2/en?oq=CA2984467

A home security system using a probe acting as an antenna to detect human presence through changes in the electrostatic field, enabling proactive intrusion detection.

This patent describes a home security system that measures disturbances in the electrostatic field around a probe, such as a coaxial cable, acting as an electrode or antenna due to human presence in its vicinity. The sensor can dierentiate between humans and other living beings or objects based on the magnitude of the change in the electrostatic field.

The human body has unique electrical characteristics, and dierences in potential between objects result in electrostatic interactions when objects are near or in contact with each other. The sensor continuously measures fluctuations in the field, allowing it to distinguish dierent types of bodies or objects and discriminate human presence from other materials or animal presence.

The invention is applied to home security systems, enabling proactive detection of intrusions at doors, windows, and fences or walls before the intrusion takes place. The patent covers various aspects and implementations of the invention and includes all possible combinations of particular and preferred embodiments.
