RVC-1025 System

The RVC-1025 is an embedded remote video capture and storage device that does not require a PC. Compressed digital video images and transaction data are stored locally, but can be retrieved via modem. 

Such easy access makes the RVC ideal for premise liability and other security investigations. We have given the RVC a "personality" that may be configured locally or remotely. The personality drives the system's behavior to capture events such as external transactions or sensor activity. For every event, the personality determines which camera to select, and automatically sets the appropriate video capture rate. Call or email us for current pricing: 301-567-1784

Talk*Away PCS

 The Talk*Away PCS is a personal communication systems totally housed within the framework of a pair of glasses. The PCS communication transponder supports noise free transmission to other telephone devices. The receiving and hearing components of the system are embedded in the part of the frame that generally extends beyond and behind the ear lobe. The system control device is the size of a standard pager and it communicates completely wireless with the transponder and receiver, allowing the user to receive incoming, and to generate outgoing telephone calls with one push of a button. The PCS was designed to add very little weight to the eyeglass frame.

Remote Image Capture System 2000

GSTC has developed and integrated software that converts an ordinary camera into a command post for a remote site that is unparalleled in the image capture industry. The Remote Image Capture System Station 2000 was designed with the following features and capabilities:

Displays digital signals from remote site(s).
Controls all peripherals connected to remote station.
Controls pan, tilt, zoom and focus.
Records pre- and post event image captures either on hard drive or with tape recorder.
Affords multi-level operator access with password protection.

Tracks system activity (i.e. log ins, log outs, pre- and post-alarm activities, operator access) using high capacity database.
Prioritizes image queue handling based on preset programs.
Rejects unauthorized access.
Performs daily, weekly and holiday programs.
Allows remote access for configuration and diagnosis of the remote Viewers.

Laptop Fuel Cell Technologies

The innovative feature is the construction of the fuel cell system with a banded-structure membrane. The area is divided into individual cell domains.

An integrated series connection over the membrane surface allows the sum of the individual voltages to be drawn at the endplates. This principle permits the desired space-saving, flat cell construction to be combined with a high output voltage. This can be adapted flexibly to the voltage needed.

Hydrogen storage unit

To store hydrogen in the smallest possible volume, we use the well known procedure of hydride formation, one of the safest methods. Even at low pressure, high storage densities can be achieved with special metal powders. In addition, this storage medium does not suffer at all from self-discharge and can be refilled with hydrogen many times.

State of development

We have tested the principle of construction a flat fuel cell using a banded-structure membrane with a laboratory prototype at Fraunhofer ISE. The electricity is supplied to a laptop produced by the company Siemens Nixdorf.

The membrane/electrode units, a vital component in the banded-structure membrane cell, were fabricated by the Hoechst Research and Technology company.

The hydride storage unit for the laptop was adapted to the specific geometry of the appliance by the Gfe mbH company.

What still has to be done? On the basis of the work done so far, further development together with product and component manufacturers is interesting for us in the following fields:

·     increase of the power density

·     miniaturizations of all components

·     design for the integration in portable appliances

·     smart technology for a state-of-charge display for the hydride storage unit

·     development to a product

Future perspectives

·   We consider the development of marketable products in the power range up to about 10 W to be reasonable and promising on the medium term.

·   Developments up to 100 W are conceivable on the longer term.
