ECT Fact Sheets

The ultimate objective is to create a complete-decision maker which allows us to detect the new state and initiate appropriate actions taking and analyzing all historical and current information based upon adaptive reasoning. Computers have the ability to extract information from multiple sources and identify and track patterns of activity that are inconsistent with "normal" operations.

Emerging Video Surveillance And Monitoring Technologies, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets

The traditional video surveillance applications have some limitations; 1) one unit per one person in one place, 2) the limited area for surveillance due to the location of cameras 3) increasing operating cost, 4) hard reductions in theft and claim rates over the long term. Recently, video technology has grown by leaps and bounds throughout the last few years due to the steep development of Information Technology (IT). The newest video surveillance technologies seem to be taking two aspects: 1) Digital Video Surveillance (DVS) of a turn toward digital video servers using Internet access, and 2) Multi-modal User Interface (MUI).

The new technology to solve the limitation of conventional Collective protection equipment (CPE) system has been developed as "Combined ESP/ESF/PCO and microfibrous media CPE application". This concept of this new technology is the combination of the both systems; 1) Microfibrous Material Technology, and 2) Photocataytic Oxidation Technology.


New Access Control Technologies: Biometric Identification, Purdue Ect Team Jan 2007

New Access Control Technologies: Biometric Identification, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets

Biometrics are computerized methods of recognizing people based on physical or behavioral characteristics. The main biometric technologies include face recognition, fingerprint, hand geometry, iris, palm prints, signature and voice. Biometric technologies can work in two modes – authentication (one-to-one matching) and identification (one-to-many) matching. However, only three biometrics are capable of the latter – face, finger and iris.

Acoustic Wave Sensors, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets

Modern office buildings are generally considered safe and healthful working environments. However, energy conservation measures have minimized the infiltration of outside air and contributed to the buildup of indoor air contaminants. Three products manufactured by Microsensor Systems Inc. are introduced: HAZMATCAD, CW Sentry Plus, MiniCAD MKII.


Infrared Gas Sensor, Purdue Ect Team Jan 2007

Infrared Gas Sensor, Purdue Ect Team

ECT Fact Sheets

In recent years, the rapid development of monitoring and detecting technology of indoor air quality have been observed. We have seen the two major streams of detection technology introduced so far: Acoustic wave sensor and Infrared gas sensor. The use of a gas monitoring system in the case of that dangerous levels of gases are detected, can help to prevent an explosion or can help to prevent worker injury or exposure to toxic gases.
