COMMUNICATIONS-BASED APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A BREACH IN THE INTEGRITY OF A CONTAINER

摘要

A breach (14) in the integrity of a container (10), such as a cargo container or a security vault, is detected using a system (12) formed of at least one transmitter (18) and at least one receiver (20) oppositely positioned either inside or outside of the container (10). Each transmitter (18) transmits a signal, while each receiver (20) attempts to detect the signal. The receiver (20) evaluates a power of the signal to determine whether a breach (14) in the integrity of the container (10) has occurred.
