20120268236 | Security System for Containers - A storage system for material containers provides a readable ID distinguishing each container, and includes a scale that weighs containers, so that the system can distinguish between containers that are sufficiently loaded to be effective and containers that are insufficiently loaded. The system preferably includes storage for containers held in contact with readers of the container IDs. This allows a controller to keep track of containers checked out for use and returned for storage, and to identify containers that have been discharged. | 10-25-2012 |

20140327516 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND KIT FOR MAKING AN ASSET MONITORABLE BY A SECURITY ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - An identification insert includes identification circuitry on a support layer and connected to a plug receptacle placing the circuitry in communication with another device when a plug of the device is inserted into the receptacle. A cavity in an asset, such as a firearm, can house the identification insert to enable a security asset management system or other device to monitor the presence or absence of the asset. A housing can carry the insert such that when the housing is inserted in the cavity the plug receptacle is accessible and substantially flush with an external surface of the asset. | 11-06-2014 |
20150089633 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSET ASSIGNMENT AND REPLACEMENT - A file cabinet drawer includes support rails supporting asset panels each with a plurality of asset positions to support respective assets and associated asset indicators. A controller activates panel, drawer, and asset indicators to locate assigned assets. A recipient can be reauthenticated and assigned a duplicate asset if the assigned asset becomes unavailable. An administrator can be authenticated to conduct assignment of duplicate assets. Where asset(s) include electronic identification tags, the panels can include contacts in electrical communication with support rails in respective drawers coupled to the controller to read an asset identifier from each tag. | 03-26-2015 |
20150206362 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND KIT FOR MAKING AN ASSET MONITORABLE BY A SECURITY ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - An identification insert can enable tracking of an asset by placing identification circuitry with a unique identifier in communication with a security asset management system. The insert can be directly mounted in a housing of an asset. Alternatively, the insert can be mounted in an ID enabler that can be attached to an asset via a cable or the like. The insert can also be part of a lock adapter secured to an asset by a lock, or can be mounted in a housing of a lock compatible with a security feature of an asset, such as a lock slot. | 07-23-2015 |
20150325069 | SECURITY ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, METHOD, AND RECEPTACLE THEREFOR - An asset management system can receive and track an asset with preexisting identification circuitry, such as a car fob. In embodiments, the car fob can be received by a receptacle and a sensor, such as an antenna, can be used to receive an identifier from the fob. A lockable drawer can be sized to receive the fob and can bring the fob into proximity with the antenna. | 11-12-2015 |
20150326576 | SECURE ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A user can acquire a request code, submit the request code with/as a request for an access code, be granted the access code, enter the access code, and be granted access to an asset, room, or other secured item or space with which the security arrangement is used to restrict access. A user interface can include a display and a data entry device to allow the user to acquire and enter the codes. The access code can be encrypted into the request code, or the request code can trigger generation of the access code according to a predefined process. | 11-12-2015 |
20150356846 | SECURITY ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, METHOD, AND FOB RETENTION ARRANGEMENT THEREFOR - An asset management system can receive and track an asset with preexisting identification circuitry, such as a car fob. In embodiments, the car fob can be received by a receptacle and a sensor, such as an antenna, can be used to receive an identifier from the fob. A lockable bin can be sized to receive the fob and can bring the fob into proximity with the antenna. | 12-10-2015 |
