Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 16, 2010 — In mid 2009, a fiber optic intrusion detection system was installed on McAllen-Miller International Airport's perimeter fence in McAllen, Texas. The system, known as Secure Fence, was developed by Future Fibre Technologies. The airport's security department reports, one year later, that the system has performed impressively. According to Donald "Buck" Taft, security coordinator at the airport, the intrusion detection system was installed in response to security concerns over the number of commercial flights and the airport's proximity to Mexico.

    A precisely defined series of steps that describes how a computer performs a task.
    interference
    1. The additive process whereby the amplitudes of two or more overlapping waves are systematically attenuated and reinforced. 2. The process whereby a given wave is split into two or more waves by, for example, reflection and refraction of beamsplitters, and then possibly brought back together to form a single wave.
