A case for a portable electronic device includes a substantially hollow housing formed of a first section and a second section. The first section is dimensioned and configured to tightly retain the portable electronic device. A hinged connector secures a first portion of the first section to a first portion of the second section and allows access to the portable electronic device when the second section is in an open position. One or more locking mechanisms removably connect a second portion of the first section to a second portion of the second section and prevents access to the portable electronic device when the second section is in a closed and locked position. A locating device is disposed within or attached to the first section.

Security locking assembly for shipping container doors
11008787 · 2021-05-18 ·

A locking device for preferred securement to the locking bars located on the doors of shipping container. The device includes a main frame and two preferably J-shaped plates. The a hub portion along with a first plate define an first securement area for the locking device to a first locking bar and a movable member along with a second plate define a second securement area for the second locking bar. A lock having a main shaft is inserted into the main frame and prevents the plates from being pulled outward. The lock is maintain in positioned by a solenoid which is disposed within a portion of the main frame in a closed/locked position preventing the lock and main shaft from being pulled out of the main frame. Upon receipt of an authorized remote command or password the solenoid is caused to be retracted allowing the main shaft to be move and freeing the two plates so that they can be pulled outwards allowing the locking device to be removed from the locking bars.

Locking System for Containers

A locking device including a body, a first bar member, a second bar member, a hinge wherein the hinge is disposed to link the first bar member and the second bar member to facilitate mounting and removal of the lock, a magnet disposed to be secure the lock body to a metal portion of a container lid, an actuation button, an electromechanical locking mechanism including a bar member, a pivoting cache, a support plate, an internal latch, an internal motor, a rotational hinge is provided. Further controlling and monitoring the electromechanical lock is achieved through a mobile device in data communication with the lock and an Internet cloud service.

Electronic seal of multi-frequency type

The present invention comprises a plug-bolt set with a circuit board and a detection antenna on a bolt-piece and a lock-seat set with a main antenna. The circuit board is set with a chip, a main circuit, and a secondary circuit. When the lock-seat and the bolt-piece are engaged and locked; the chip, the main circuit, and the main antenna are electrically connected to emit a first signal for providing the identification host to monitor, and controlling the secondary circuit to be electrically connected with the chip and the detection antenna to emit a second signal. The second signal can be used for the mobile phone software to do the quality control of the first signal. The first and second signals can be cut-off simultaneously when the plug-bolt is broken. This allows the end customer to do the actual test and quality control using the mobile phone.
