A merchandise security device is provided. The merchandise security device may include a housing operably coupled with a cable. The cable is configured to be extended and retracted relative to the housing and to at least partially surround an item of merchandise. The merchandise security device may also include at least one sensor operably engaged with the housing and configured to detect unauthorized movement of the housing relative to the item of merchandise. The merchandise security device may further include a lock mechanism configured to lock the cable about the item of merchandise.

A lock having an alarm function for a two-wheeler comprises a lock body and a securing hoop movable relative to the lock body between a securing position for securing the two-wheeler and an open position for releasing the two-wheeler. The lock body has a locking mechanism to selectively lock the securing hoop to the lock body in the securing position, and further comprises an alarm device for outputting an alarm signal. The locking mechanism can selectively be moved into an unlocked position, a locked position, or an alarm activation position, with the securing hoop being released for a movement into the open position in the unlocked position, with the securing hoop located in the securing position being locked at the lock body in the locked position, and with the alarm device being activated or being able to be activated by moving the locking mechanism into the alarm activation position.

A smart cable lock is provided that is configured to mechanically secure items and provide an automatic determination that securing is achieved. The smart cable may be integrated into a vehicle, or otherwise may communicate with a vehicle. The vehicle includes one or more ports configured to house the cable when not in use. In some embodiments, an accessory includes one or more ports configured to engage with the connector. In some embodiments, the cable is affixed to the vehicle at one end, using a retractor, for example, and can be unspooled, intertwined with equipment, and then secured to a port on the vehicle. The smart cable lock secures and releases a latch based on user indications and authorizations. For example, if the cable is destroyed or damaged, or an unauthorized indication is made, the cable lock system may sound an alarm, or otherwise alert the user.

Method and its enabling device for remote wireless micro-latching for security purposes, comprising at least one user or controller, one mobile communication device, and one secured device, whereas said user is enabled to open or close a micro-latch in said a secured device, for instant a safe box or a medical cabinet, allowing access to secured content, including money, ID card, checks, as well as medicine. Also disclosed is a multiplicity of said devices and their preprogrammed remote control by computer or mobile app. The micro-latching can be amplified to macro-latching, for instance by a micro-solenoid switching a high power electrical switch bank or relay, which in turn initiates industrial processes.

A portable lock comprises a lock body and at least one securing part, in particular a U hoop or a bolt, wherein the at least one securing part can be selectively locked to the lock body or released from the lock body. In this respect, the lock body comprises at least one introduction opening for introducing the at least one securing part into the lock body; at least two sensors for detecting the securing part introduced into the lock body and for generating corresponding detection signals; an evaluation and control circuit for determining a current occupancy state of the lock body in dependence on the generated detection signals, wherein the evaluation and control circuit is configured to associate different combinations of generated detection signals with different occupancy states of the lock body; and an electromechanical locking device that has at least one electrically drivable latch for locking the at least one securing part in the at least one introduction opening, wherein the evaluation and control circuit is configured to control the locking device.

A portable hoop lock comprises a lock body that accommodates an electromechanical locking mechanism; and a hoop that has at least one locking section that can be selectively introduced into the lock body or released from the lock body, wherein the locking mechanism comprises at least one latch and an electric motor for driving the latch, wherein the latch is configured to lock the locking section of the hoop introduced into the lock body to the lock body in a locking position and to release the locking section of the hoop for a removal from the lock body in a release position. In this respect, the electric motor is configured to selectively move the latch from the locking position into the release position via a drive transmission section of the locking mechanism and the lock body has a watertight cover that surrounds the electric motor.

A two-wheeler lock, in particular a frame lock, wherein the lock is preferably at least partly drivable in a motorized manner, comprises a sensor for detecting different positions of an element of the lock movable along a defined movement path. The movable element here has a permanent magnet and the sensor is configured as a magnetic sensor. This magnetic sensor is furthermore configured for a three-dimensional magnetic detection to detect positions or movements of the movable element deviating from the defined movement path and/or to detect manipulation attempts by means of external magnets.

The invention relates to a portable lock having an unlocking motor, an authentication module for authenticating a user of the lock by which the unlocking motor can be actuated to unlock the lock on a successful user authentication, and having a transport security element that can be actuated by the user and whose actuation moves the lock into a transport security mode in which an unlocking of the lock is precluded. A further subject matter is a locking system comprising such a lock and a mobile end device by means of which a user of the lock can authenticate himself thereat. The invention furthermore relates to a method of unlocking a mobile lock.

A security tag including: a housing and circuitry which detects a locked state, the circuitry configured to execute a signal transfer function responsive to interchanging a pin and a lanyard in the circuitry, and/or the housing including a replaceable battery compartment locked by inserting either the pin or the lanyard into a lock mechanism which differently secures the pin and the lanyard; and an alarm, in communication with the circuitry, triggered by an undisarmed breach of the locked state.

A first portion of a security device, the first portion configured to have a separate state with respect to a second portion and a combined state with respect to the second portion, such that when in the combined state, the first portion is mated, interlocked, and/or locked with the second portion to collectively form the security device.
