The invention relates to a method for deactivating the locking of at least one door of an accommodating device, said method comprising: effecting the unlocking of the at least one door, measuring the time since at least one event detected by an access-monitoring device of the accommodating device has occurred, and effecting, if the at least one door is open and the measured time exceeds a specified time threshold value, the deactivation of the locking of the at least one door in such a way that the at least one door cannot be locked. The invention further relates to an access-monitoring device, a computer program, an accommodating device, a system, and a use of the accommodating device.

A latch and lock assembly includes a lever pivotable between a latched and unlatched position. A first actuator selectively moves a locking tab between a locked and unlocked position. In the locked position, the locking tab blocks pivotable movement of the lever from the latched position to the unlatched position. In the unlocked position, the locking tab allows pivotable movement of the lever from the latched position to the unlatched position. A second actuator selectively rotates a door opening tab between a first and second position when the locking tab is in the unlocked position is included. When the door opening tab is in the first position the lever is in a latched position, and when the door opening tab is rotated from the first position to the second position, the door opening tab abuts the lever and urges the lever from the latched position to the unlatched position.

Methods, nodes, a power tool and computer programs for and in a power tool (100) for enabling unlocking and locking of the power tool for prevention of unauthorized use, the method comprising receiving (S100) an unlock message to a control unit (210), the message including an instruction to unlock the tool (100), unlocking (S110) the power tool (100) according to the instruction by the control unit (210) via an actuator unit (250), counting (S120) an authorization time period from reception of the first message to the control unit (210) by a counter (230), wherein when the counted authorization time period exceed a predetermined threshold, locking (S130) the power tool (100) by the control unit (210) via the actuator unit (250), thereby enabling prevention of unauthorized use of the power tool (100) by remote unlocking and locking.

The invention concerns a locking mechanism (10) comprising an indoor mechanical actuation lever (11), an outdoor mechanical actuation lever (12) and a lock clutch (13), each mechanical actuation lever being configured to switch between a closed configuration and an open configuration, wherein the lock clutch (13) is configured to take at least three positions: a first position where the lock clutch is disengaged from the indoor mechanical actuation lever and outdoor mechanical actuation lever, a second position where the lock clutch is engaged with the indoor mechanical actuation lever and outdoor mechanical actuation lever, a third position where the lock clutch is engaged with the indoor mechanical actuation lever and disengaged from the outdoor mechanical actuation lever.

A system and method for the controlled dispensation of cigarettes including a container with a logic control unit and an unlocking button by means of which an unlocking request is sent to the logic control unit so that the logic control unit switches a clamping device to an unlocked mode if the unlocking request occurs during one dispensation time interval.

A method for unlocking the lock using real-time wireless power supply includes proceeding with authentication identification of a powerless lock by an electronic key after pairing. Power is wirelessly supplied from the electronic key to the lock when the authentication identification starts or the authentication identification passes. The lock obtains the power wirelessly supplied from the lock to operate. When the authentication identification is identified as being successful, the electronic key outputs an unlocking command to the lock. The lock receiving the unlocking command proceeds with an unlocking operation using the power supplied wirelessly.

A 3D printer having a door lock structure includes a housing, a door panel, a door lock structure, a coloring nozzle set, an actuator, and a controller. The door panel is pivotally connected to the housing. The door lock structure is arranged corresponding to the door panel and has a locking position and an unlocking position. The actuator is connected to the door lock structure and drives the door lock structure to lock or unlock the door panel. The controller is electrically connected to the actuator. The controller controls the actuator to drive the door lock structure to the locking position. The controller activates an unlocking mode after a predetermined time after the coloring nozzle set stops operating. In the unlocking mode, the controller controls the actuator to drive the door lock structure to the unlocking position.

A doorknob indicating system includes an exterior doorknob disposed on an interior side of a door, an interior doorknob disposed on an exterior side of the door, an LED on an escutcheon of said exterior doorknob, a user interface on an escutcheon of said interior doorknob, a source of electrical power, and a controller. The LED, the user interface, and the source of electrical power are operatively connected to the controller. The controller is programmed to illuminate the LED for one or more determined time intervals based upon an input received by the user interface.

A system and method for securing a door with a double lock system. A user may have a key to a personal lock while trusted third-parties may be given keys to a common lock. The keys may wireless control each of the respective lock's functions. In this way, the user can control access by trusted third-parties while maintaining security for a residence.

An apparatus for selectably unlocking a door comprises a base adapted to be mounted within a door, an outer cylinder selectably rotatable relative to the base, the outer cylinder having an central bore therethrough and an inner cylinder selectably rotatably received within the inner bore of the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder has a key slot therethrough and is adapted to unlock a door upon rotation of the inner cylinder. The apparatus further includes a plurality of tumblers extending between the inner and outer sleeves alignable upon insertion of a specific key within the key slot so as to permit rotation of the inner cylinder within the central bore a means for identifying a key inserted within the key slot as an authorized key and a latch operable to selectably couple the outer cylinder to the base wherein the latch uncouples the outer cylinder from the base when an authorized key is located within the key slot.
