The security portal (10) is dimensioned to be readily mounted and transported on a trailer (54) alone as a single security portal (10) or with a plurality of security portals to provide screening for a short term, high security event. The portal (10) includes bullet-resistant, bomb-blast proof and at least partially transparent walls (12, 14, 16, 18) and doors (22, 24, 26). Monitors (32, 34) are secured to the portal (10) for monitoring an individual within an interior (30) of the portal (10) for detecting weapons, bio-hazards, chemical toxins, illegal drugs, contraband, or other hazardous materials. The security portal also includes a security monitoring station (36) adjacent the security access door (26) and a bomb-blast enclosure (66) having a flap (68) and bomb-blast containment balloon (70) for containing hazardous materials in the event of a bomb-blast within the portal (10).

An apparatus and method for managing cash utilize one or more remotely or locally operable cash management devices. A cash management device dispenses cash, determines the denomination and amount of deposited cash and remotely or locally reconciles a cashier cash drawer at the end of a shift. The cash is accounted for from the time it is disbursed from a cash management device, throughout a cashier's sales and when it is deposited into the cash management device.

A protected cabinet for cash or other valuables, designed to protect the cash or valuables from being robbed, the protected cabinet comprising: a housing, for receiving and housing two drawers, having a front opening through which one or both drawers simultaneously may be withdrawn; a first drawer, adapted to be moved into and out of the housing through the front opening, coupled to a front panel, the front panel adapted to substantially cover the front opening of the housing; a second drawer, positioned over the first drawer, adapted to be moved into and out of the housing through the front opening, when engaged to the first drawer, substantially covering the first drawer when engaged to it, preventing view of contents of the first drawer; engagement mechanism for engaging the second drawer to the first drawer, whereby one drawer is regularly used for transactions or presentation of the cash or valuables kept in it, whereas the other drawer is used as an emergency, decoy, drawer, pulled open in emergency instances, such as in a robbery, by operating the engagement mechanism.

A revolving security door includes a drum defining a secure zone between door openings controlled by a revolving door disposed within the drum and wherein light curtain sensors and active infrared sensors may detect an intruder moving from a non-secure side of the doorway to the secure side and detect objects left behind in a secure zone. Methods of operation prevent persons or objects from passing from the non-secure side to the secure side of the doorway.

An automated entrance device includes a housing and a first and second panel operably coupled to the housing. The panels are positioned approximately at a 90° angle to each other. The first panel and the second panel rotate together from a first position to a second position to allow entrance to a user. After allowing a user to enter, the panels reset to the first position ready to selectively allow entrance to additional users.

A method and a system for monitoring access of a person from an exterior to an interior of a partition via a passage having an openable closed opening, using a detection device and supervision of an operator. A monitoring unit is coupled to both the detection device on the exterior, for handling in manual self-scanning procedure, and an input / output unit on the interior, for use by the operator. The monitored person handles the detection device, which transmits at least a first type handling signal, and at least a second type recognition signal to the monitoring unit. The operator rates the monitored person and transmits a third type rating signal to the monitoring unit, indicating crossing permission or crossing denial. The monitoring unit then derives an access signal from the three types of signals received from at least two sensors to allow or to deny access via the passage.

The method involves detecting weight data of persons and / or objects moving in a gate (10) using a set of weight sensors (18, 20, 22, 24) integrated in a base of the gate. The data is evaluated to determine the number of peoples / objects based on maximum and / or absolute values and / or dynamics and / or the number of the detected weight center of gravity and / or the position of the sensors and / or the order in which the data is detected. An independent claim is also included for a gate with weight sensors that are integrated in a base region of the gate.

A multi-hit transparent armor system is described and claimed herein for improving the resistance of transparent armor to incoming projectiles. Typically, the transparent armor is framed within a window opening of a security structure. An exemplary, contemplated structure is an armored combat vehicle. My system includes a sheet of tempered glass that is also positioned within said window, but is deployed outboard of said transparent armor and is also parallel planar thereto. Positioned below said sheet of tempered glass, and coaxial thereto, is an opaque armor panel that is more efficient and effective against multiple projectiles than either the tempered glass or transparent armor alone. The tempered glass sheet and the opaque armor are typically loaded under compression by a spring assembly. An incoming projectile, launched from a position outboard and also remote from said structure, will first strike the tempered glass before hitting my transparent armor. Thereby, the tempered glass sheet will undergo global failure and is effectively removed from the window opening. In turn, the spring assembly translates the opaque armor into the position formerly occupied by the tempered glass sheet. Subsequently arriving projectiles are then defeated by the opaque armor panel.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method of automating arrival and departure procedures in an airport, by which the forgery of a passport, the identity of a passport bearer, the arrival or departure permission according to a result of arrival and departure examinations, and the carry-on of prohibited items on the plane are automatically checked. The apparatus for automating arrival and departure procedures according to the present invention includes an exit gate, a departure automation apparatus, and may further include an entrance gate and a scanner. In the apparatus for automating arrival and departure procedures according to the present invention, a departure area entry procedure, a security screening procedure, and a departure examination procedure for departure passengers, which are conventionally performed separately in different areas, may be incorporated in the same area and performed therein.
