Perimeter Security - Magal Intelli-FLEX

Outdoor Detection System Perimeter Security Magal’s new
Intelli-FLEX outdoor detection system is based on signals
generated by the minute flexing of a proprietary triboelectric
coaxial sensor cable. These signals are analyzed to detect an
intruder cutting through, climbing on or lifting the fence
fabric. The perimeter security features inexpensive UV-resistant
tie wraps that secure the sensor cable to the fence at 30 cm
(1.0 ft.) intervals. The Intelli-FLEX Signal Processor can
monitor two independent zones, each with a maximum of 305 m
(1000 ft.) of sensor cable to provide maximum perimeter security.

Programmable Microprocessor - Perimeter Security

The Magal perimeter security has a programmable microprocessor
for setting operating parameters for each zone using a simple
plug-in Configuration Module. Separate parameters are set for
cut and climb detection, resulting in independent alarm
processing to optimize detection and minimize false alarms.
Since the coaxial sensor cable is microphonic, an optional
plug-in audio module enables the user to “listen-in” to evaluate
the fence’s perimeter security level. This feature provides an
additional low-cost tool for assessing the nature of an
intrusion attempt.

Weather Sensitive - Perimeter Security

An optional weather sensor is available to provide each signal
processor with independent verification of the current weather
conditions affecting perimeter security performance.
Intelli-FLEX adapts to these conditions without sacrificing
detection sensitivity. The Intelli-FLEX Signal Processor is
available with either an output relay interface or a built-in
multiplex circuit interface to a variety of alarm monitoring
systems. Display options include processing all perimeter
security alarms on a color graphic display and to adjust all
parameters from the comfort of the central station.

Network Features- Perimeter Security

Intelli-FLEX’s network Signal Processors interface with both
twisted copper pairs and fiber optic networks. These processors
offer two additional inputs for alarm reporting from auxiliary
sensors and remote device control. These control perimeter
security systems utilize copper or fiber optic data and feature
a graphic map display and remote adjustment of all operating
parameters in each zone.

No False Alarms! - Systems Perimeter Security

The innovative perimeter security solution rejects alarms from
wind, rain, snow, storms,fog, animals, lightning, and romantic
activity debris and seismic activity. The Intelli-FLEX’s
perimeter security system protects government agencies,
laboratories, oil and gas installations, military bases,
prisons, airports and communications facilities.

Computer Help: Make Your Computer Run Faster!

Filed under: Technology Stuff — admin at 6:17 pm on Monday, April 7, 2008

What the heck is Spyware?

Spyware is a generic term for programs that install themselves
on your computer without telling you that they are there. They
run in the background tracking where you go online and sending
the information off to the company that built the program. Hence
the term “Spyware” or Spying Software.

The reason for spyware being built originally was to use it as a
marketing tool. If you know where a person surfs then you can
target advertisements toward that person based on their surfing
habits.

Newer spyware programs are becoming more malicious and harder to
remove than they were before. This is where the term Malware
comes in . . . or Malicious Software. The term “Malware” also
refers to Trojans or Virus depending on what it does.

So how do I get it off my computer?

In most cases spyware removal is a fairly simple process. There
are some excellent Free Tools available to help keep your system
clean.

For best results I suggest using more than one. Also, it is good
to plan on doing a cleanup/spyware removal at least once a month
to keep your computer in top working order.

The tools I find work best are (in no particular order):

Spybot Search & Destroy

AdAware

Microsoft Spyware Removal Tool

These are all free tools and work well in conjunction with each
other.

(Special Note for the Microsoft Spyware Removal Tool: If you
do not have a Valid copy of Windows XP you will NOT be able to
install this. Microsoft implemented a Validation Test to check
for illegal copies of Windows XP.)

So now, we’ll break down the steps to keep your computer spyware
free and in excellent running order. If you follow these steps
your computer will run much faster. After many years of doing
cleanups this is the fastest way I know of to complete this
process. You can do it in any order but the time it takes to
complete will vary. On a reasonably new machine, a complete
cleanup and spyware scan usually only takes about an hour if you
follow this order.

Steps:

1. Create a Folder on your desktop called CLEANUP

2. Open your browser and go to:
http://toddarsenault.com/cleanup.html, or download them directly
from the internet.

3. You can download the tools used in this article there.

4. Download a copy of Adaware.

5. Download a copy of Spybot.

6. Download a copy of VoptXP (Only program that is not free.)

7. Download a copy of RegCleanerXP.

8. Download a copy of CrapCleaner (sorry . . . I didn’t name it)

9. If you do not currently have an Antivirus program, please
feel free to download a copy of Avast from http://www.avast.com.
It is a free and excellent Antivirus tool.

Now . . . what do we do with all this?

1. Open your CLEANUP folder and install VoptXP first.

2. When that is complete install CrapCleaner. (You can leave
all the settings default when you install these programs.)

3. Run the CrapCleaner program and click on Analyse. This will
take some time depending on how many junk files are on your
computer.

4. Once it is done analysing your computer click on the
RunCleaner button. This will eliminate all the junk files that
windows tends to store.

5. Close the CrapCleaner program now and open VoptXP.

6. Click on the Checkmark to Analyse your hard drive.

7. Once that is complete Click on the button to the left of the
checkmark. It looks like a stack of rectangles.

8. Do not run any other programs while this is running. VoptXP
is defragging your hard drive.

a. Just a note on why I suggest using VoptXP: You can use the
defrag program that comes with XP if you prefer, Vopt is just
faster at defragging a drive. This is not a FREE program but
will work for 30 days.

9. Once the defrag is complete close VoptXP and reboot the
computer.

10. Now install Adaware and Spybot.

11. We are going to run Spybot first for a couple of reasons.
It immunises the computer and does a registry backup before
making any changes. It will also ask to update the files . . .
please do this as you will want the newest definitions to catch
all the spyware.

12. Once Spybot has completed scanning it may ask you to reboot
or tell you that it could not clean all the spyware. If it asks
to do a scan on reboot, say Yes.

13. Now we want to run Adaware. Whew . . . seems like a lot of
work when I type it ;-)
14. Adaware is fairly easy to work with. Simply click on Start
when it loads. You don’t have to change any settings. When the
scan is complete you do have to right click on the spyware found
and left click on “Select All” - Then simply click the Next or
Finish button.

If you followed the steps above your computer will be running
faster and your surfing habits won’t be being tracked by spyware.
