Abstract

A tracking and security system comprising a signal device having one or more ferroelectric varactors are configured to passively receive RF signals of various frequencies. The RF signal is collected, converted, and stored in a database for tracking transportable items. The signal device will also contain microcapsules which will detect chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear and/or explosive materials.

Claims

1. A tracking and security system comprising a signal device for collecting and transferring RF signals as shown and described herein.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the signal device is effective for identifying and transferring CBRNE signals comprising at least one microcapsule.

5. The signal device of claim 4 for identifying and transferring CBRNE signals comprising at least one microcapsule that is capable of detecting chemical, biological, irradiation, nuclear and/or explosives.

6. The signal device of claim 4 wherein the microcapsule are capable of detecting CBRNE threats and engineered to send signals alerting personnel to the threat.

7. The signal device of claim 4 wherein several microcapsules walls will be made with polymers that will form the wall chemistry that will be used to detect several agents, which are sensitive to different organic groups.

8. The signal device of claim 4 wherein application of microcapsules are formed on chosen substrates and an output device is engineered to receive and output signals.

12. The signal device of claim 6 wherein the ferroelectric material is BSTO or other advanced material such as polymers, microcapsules and microencapsulated enzymes.

2. A tracking and security system comprising a device for collecting and transferring RF signals having at least one varactor in communication with at least one computer database wherein the varactor is capable of receiving an RF signal and transmitting a signal to a database.

3. The signal device of claim 2 wherein the at least one varactor is a plurality of varactors wherein each varactor is in connection with a central database.

9. The signal device of claim 3 wherein the varactors devices are connected to a single database.

10. The signal device of claim 3 wherein each varactor device for tracking receives a different frequency RF signal.

11. The signal device of claim 2 wherein the at least one varactor is constructed from a ferroelectric material having a signal transfer to several databases.

13. The signal device of claim 3 wherein each varactor may be tuned to receive a specific frequency RF signal.

14. The signal device of claim 3 wherein the varactors receive RF signals in the frequency range of 60 Hz to 100 GHz.

15. The signal device of claim 3 wherein the varactors receive signals, in the frequency range of 60 Hz to 100 GHz.

16. The signal device of claim 3 wherein the varactors receive signals from long range of distances of about 1000 feet and up to about 20,000 feet.
