Abstract
A tracking device, including a communication interface encased in a encasement with a receptacle on two opposite sides of the encasement, a strap, including one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, links coupled to one side of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, a fiber optic cable extending from a first end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets to a second end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, a head connected to each end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets; wherein the heads are configured to fit into the receptacles and lock the strap in the receptacles thus preventing the strap from sliding out of the receptacles; and wherein the communication interface is configured to detect tampering with the strap by transmitting an optical signal through the fiber optic cable.
Claims18
A tracking device, comprising:
- a communication interface encased in an encasement with a receptacle on two opposite sides of the encasement;
- a strap, comprising:
- one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- links coupled to one side of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- a fiber optic cable extending from a first end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets to a second end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- a head connected to each end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- wherein the heads are configured to fit into the receptacles and lock the strap in the receptacles thus preventing the strap from sliding out of the receptacles;
- wherein the communication interface is configured to detect tampering with the strap by transmitting an optical signal through the fiber optic cable;
- and
- wherein the strap includes a single thin elongated flexible sheet and the links are arranged in two rows along an elongated axis of the thin elongated flexible sheet, forming a channel between the two rows for placing the fiber optic cable between the links.
A tracking device, comprising:
- a communication interface encased in an encasement with a receptacle on two opposite side of the encasement;
- a strap, comprising:
- one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- links coupled to one side of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- a fiber optic cable extending from a first end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets to a second end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- a head connected to each end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- wherein the heads are configured to fit into the receptacles and lock the strap in the receptacles thus preventing the strap from sliding our of the receptacles;
- wherein the communication interface is configured to detect tampering with the strap by transmitting an optical signal through the fiber optic cable;
- and
- wherein the strap includes multiple thin elongated flexible sheets;
- wherein each link defines the width of the strap and is coupled to each of the multiple thin elongated flexible sheets;
- and wherein the links are interlocked along an elongated axis of the multiple thin elongated flexible sheets.
A method of connecting a tracking device to a limb of a person, comprising:
- receiving a communication interface encased in an encasement with a receptacle on two opposite sides of the encasement;
- receiving a strap, comprising:
- one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- links coupled to one side of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets;
- a fiber optic cable extending from a first end of the thin elongated flexible sheets to a second end of the thin elongated flexible sheets;
- a head connected to each end of the thin elongated flexible sheets;
- inserting the heads of the strap into the receptacles of the communication interface to lock the straps to the communication interface and prevent the straps from sliding out of the receptacles;
- wherein the communication interface is configured to detect tampering with the strap by transmitting an optical signal through the fiber optic cable;
- and
- wherein the strap includes a single thin elongated flexible sheet and the links are arranged in two rows along an elongated axis of the thin elongated flexible sheet, forming a channel between the two rows for placing the fiber optic cable between the links.
