A method of coating a surface of a concrete structure in situ, which comprises the step of applying to the surface of the concrete of the concrete structure a liquidous coating of a modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) material in an air dryable solution comprising: a PVDF or a PVDF co-polymer or a combination of PVDF and PVDF copolymer to form a blend with a compatible acrylic and/or other compatible polymer that is fluorinated to between about 30% to about 75% by weight excluding any solvent; the PVDF or PVDF co-polymer or blend thereof having at least about 45% PVDF molecular structure by weight when dried; the PVDF or PVDF co-polymer having a polymer crystallinity of at least about 30% by weight; and a solvent.

Protective coating method for reinforced concrete buildings and infrastructure

A system and method for conducting a tokenized electronic transaction may comprise: receiving identifying biometric data for the user, generating a biometric template representative thereof, and destroying the identifying biometric data. The identifying biometric data is not stored permanently, is not transmitted, cannot be derived from the biometric template, and is destroyed so that only the biometric template remains. The biometric template is attached to a transaction token for completing the transaction represented by the token including: comparing the token and attached biometric template with reference transaction data and with a reference biometric template. When the token matches the reference transaction data and the biometric template matches the reference biometric template, then the transaction is authorized and completed, and when the token and/or the biometric template does not match the reference therefor, then the transaction is rejected.

System and method for conducting secure electronic transactions

A positive train control system and method may comprise one or more switch monitors and/or one or more track monitors providing sensor data relative to one or more switches and/or one or more tracks, respectively, determining whether there is an anomaly of a switch or track, and when there is, providing a message, alert and/or warning, and/or initiating a train control action. Determination of an anomaly may be preformed on a train or at a remote location, e.g., a central facility.

Positive train control system and method

A positive train control system and method comprises a plurality of RFID devices embedded in a track way and having data representing location stored therein, and an RFID reader/detector mounted on a train for reading the location data from the embedded RFID devices. The location data is processed on the train and/or at a central facility for determining whether the train location and/or time is consistent with a train routing order. Messages, alerts and/or warnings may be generated for an alert device and/or for automated response, e.g., via a train control system.

Positive train control system and apparatus employing RFID devices

A positive train control may comprise a plurality of different sensors coupled to a processor that determines whether there is an anomaly of a track way, and if there is, provides an alert and/or a train control action. The plural sensors may include a visual imager, an infrared imager, a radar, a doppler radar, a laser sensor, a laser ranging device, an acoustic sensor, and/or an acoustic ranging device. Data from the plural sensors is geo-tagged and time tagged. Some embodiments of the train control employ track monitors, switch monitors and/or wayside monitors, and some employ locating devices such as GPS and inertial devices.

Positive train control system, apparatus and method

A personnel tracking and monitoring system and method comprises sets of monitoring devices each including: an electronic device having a unique identifier, a locating device, and a wireless communication device communicating via a plurality of protocols. The unique identifier, the location data and time data are associated and are transmitted wirelessly to one or more monitoring stations which store same in a database. The electronic devices and/or one or more relay devices may be configured before arrival at the site and/or while en route. Data stored in the data base is compared with predetermined criteria and if any predetermined criteria is exceeded, an indication thereof is communicated to the monitoring stations and/or to the electronic device to which such indication relates.

Personnel tracking and monitoring system and method employing protective gear including a personnel electronic monitor device

A personnel tracking and monitoring system and method comprises sets of monitoring devices each including: an electronic device having a unique identifier, a locating device, wireless communication devices communicating via a plurality of protocols, and an imaging device and a biologic monitor device communicating image and biologic data to the electronic device. The unique identifier, the location data and time data are associated with image data and with biologic data and are transmitted wirelessly via portable relay devices to one or more monitoring stations which store same in a database. Data stored in the data base is compared with predetermined criteria and if any predetermined criteria is exceeded, an indication thereof is communicated to the monitoring stations and/or to the electronic device to which such indication relates.

A train control unit may comprise a probe attached to a first rail of a track way, and a sensor device attached to a second rail of the track way configured to determine the position of the probe, whereby the position of the first rail relative to the second rail may be determined. The train control unit is preferably independent of equipment controlling the position of the first and second rails. Some embodiments of the train control unit may be employed as a track monitor, a switch monitor and/or a wayside monitor.

Positive train control apparatus

Protective headgear for use in dangerous and/or hazardous locations may comprise: a headgear shell; a locator device on the headgear shell for providing location data; a motion sensor on the headgear shell for providing motion data; a memory on the headgear shell and having a unique identifier stored therein and configured to store the location data and the motion data; a transmitter-receiver for transmitting the location data, the motion data and the unique identifier to a remote database and for receiving notification data therefrom; and a user interface responsive to the received notification data to provide a visual notification or an audible notification or a physical notification or a combination thereof.

Protective headgear including a personnel electronic monitor device

A system and method employing geo-tagging and/or biometric identification is employed for registration and management of a mass gathering event. Electronic devices are configured for capturing data and geo-tagging the captured data using the geographic position of the electronic device. Data relating thereto and related data concerning persons and/or locations and/or other things are associated with a unique identifier and are stored in a relational database from when they may be retrieved and processed for generating a response or other follow up which can be communicated to an electronic device. Responses are communicated to the electronic device that captured the data relating to the particular group of registrants or to an electronic device using its geographic location.

Event registration and management system and method for a mass gathering event

A positive train control may comprise a plurality of different sensors coupled to a processor that determines whether there is an object on a track way and/or an anomaly of a track way, and if there is, provides an alert and/or a train control action. The plural sensors may include a visual imager, an infrared imager, a radar, a doppler radar, a laser sensor, a laser ranging device, an acoustic sensor, and/or an acoustic ranging device.
