A method for controlling door access with improved safety includes connecting door locks with a control device. Through physical and electrical connection by an emergency control unit, the control device can set all door locks to a locking state and can revoke unlocking authority of all door locks. When the emergency control unit is physically disconnected from the control device, all door locks can operate independently in locking and unlocking. Furthermore, the control device is connected to at least one gunshot detection device and/or at least one fire detection device. When a gunshot event and/or a fire occurs, the door locks near the gunshot location or the fire can be rapidly locked to reduce the movement speed of the gunman and/or the spreading speed of the fire.

A vehicle is provided that includes a wiper-integrated tailgate handle switch mounted to a window glass of a tailgate. The wiper-integrated tailgate handle switch includes a tailgate handle switch, which is configured to press a current carrying switch arranged in the internal space thereof using the height of an insertion space defined by a difference in height between transverse and longitudinal bodies of a handle switch housing, and a wiper. Therefore, a degree of freedom in design of the tailgate is increased which improves the aesthetic of the tailgate by removing the tailgate handle switch from the tailgate.

A drawer assembly is described that includes one or more mini-drawer assemblies. A mini-drawer assembly comprises a sliding tab along a rear-to-front axis, a release mechanism coupled to the sliding tab, and a body having a body bottom coupled from the body bottom to the sliding tab. The body may slide over the sliding tab. The mini-drawer assembly may include a plurality of compartments in the body and a plurality of lids that are hingedly coupled to the compartments. Each lid may have a respective fastening element. A plurality of latches may couple to the body such that each latch is coupled to a corresponding compartment. The latch may hold the respective fastening element of the lid. When the body is pulled out along the rear-to-front axis, the release mechanism may engage with the latch to release the respective fastening element and to unlatch the lid of the compartment.

A locking system provides multiple lockable latching mechanisms that are collectively operable and lockable from a central actuation mechanism. Each latching mechanism can be positioned and actuated independent of the positioning of others of the latching mechanisms. In particular, the latching mechanisms need not be aligned with one another. The system uses flexible connectors between the central actuation mechanism and the respective latching mechanisms. The flexible connectors can have different respective lengths.

A structure for securing broadcast cables and connectors includes a wall mounted enclosure including a front section, a middle section and rear section, the front and middle sections surrounding a first cavity and the middle and rear sections surrounding a second cavity; a panel having a first and second wings joined together at a convex angle and defining a plurality of isolation plate mounts; the panel being selectively interchangeable between first and second configurations, wherein the first configuration is defined by the panel being selectively attached such that the convex angle faces the first cavity and the second configuration is defined by the panel being selectively attached such that the convex angle faces the second cavity; an internal lock system for selectively accessing the second cavity; and the internal lock system being accessible from within the first cavity.

The disclosure relates to a method including the steps of: detection of a presence of an access authorization verification apparatus in surroundings of an access control apparatus by first communication means of the access control apparatus, and prompting, when the presence of the access authorisation verification apparatus in the surroundings of the access control apparatus is detected, of a change of operating mode for second communication means of the access control apparatus. In addition, the disclosure relates to an access control apparatus, a computer program, a recording apparatus, a system and a use for an access authorisation verification apparatus.

A ticket dispenser comprising a housing body, a lockable housing door configured to close an opening in the housing body, a ticket dispensing aperture, a lockable security cover configured to prevent the removal of tickets through the aperture, and a lock assembly, wherein the lock assembly is configured to lock the housing door and security cover when in a first orientation, wherein the lock assembly is configured to lock the housing door and not to lock the security cover when in a second orientation, and wherein the lock assembly is configured not to lock the housing door or the security cover when in a third orientation.
