SENSING SYSTEM FOR VERIFYING DEADBOLT ENGAGEMENT
A door lock detection system is disclosed. The system includes a magnet flexibly attached to a strike plate. The strike plate includes an opening. The magnet extends across the opening of the strike plate in a first orientation when a bolt does not extend into the opening of the strike plate. The magnet is configured to be deflected from the first orientation to a second orientation, distinct from the first orientation, in response to the bolt being extended into the opening of the strike plate. The system includes a magnetometer configured to detect one or more magnetic fields of the magnet that is flexibly attached to the strike plate in the first orientation and in the second orientation.
ANTI-THEFT MERCHANDISE HOOK
An anti-theft merchandise hook that includes a top wire connected to a housing portion at a first end of the top wire, and to a mounting portion, used to mount the anti-theft merchandise hook to a stationary surface, at a second end of the top wire opposite the first end. A bottom wire is attached to the mounting portion and extends from the mounting portion toward the housing portion. The bottom wire is configured to hold retail merchandise. A moveable hanger is at least partially disposed within the housing portion. The hanger is configured to move linearly between a closed position in which the hanger abuts the bottom wire, and an open position in which the hanger is spaced some distance from the bottom wire.

A Self-Contained Deadbolt Sensing Arrangement
A sensor, a wireless transceiver and a battery that energizes the transceiver are installed together in a cavity formed in a frame of a door. They are displaced together in the cavity in accordance with the deadbolt position in a direction of displacement of a door deadbolt. A spring that is installed in the cavity accommodates differences among travel distances and differences in lengths of different deadbolts and also differences in gaps between doors and door frames.
Magnet in bolt
It is provided a lock assembly comprising: a striking plate assembly comprising an aperture and a magnetometer arranged in proximity of the aperture; a bolt being displaceable to enable movement through the aperture of the striking plate assembly, the bolt comprising a magnet; and a sensor device for detecting proximate presence of an object, wherein the sensor device is configured to power up the magnetometer when the sensor device detects proximate presence of an object; wherein the lock assembly is configured to detect, using the magnetometer and magnet when the bolt is in a protruded position through the aperture.
Locking apparatuses, systems, and methods of providing access control
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for detecting an alert status of a locking apparatus for an entry point. An external force may be received at a locking apparatus operating in a locked state and determining a first indicia corresponding to the received external force, separately receiving an indication of the external force at an accelerometer of the locking apparatus and determining a second indicia corresponding to the received indication of the external force, comparing the first indicia and the second indicia to determine an alert condition, and selectively performing at least one alert operation corresponding to the determined alert condition.
DELAYED UNLOCKING PUSH-DOWN TYPE EMERGENCY DOOR-LOCKING DEVICE
A delayed unlocking push-down type emergency door-locking device includes a main lock seat, a secondary lock seat, a push-down type handle assembly, a position-sensing module and a timing electromagnetic traction assembly. The push-down type handle assembly is configured for moving along a driving path from a locking position toward an unlocking position, thereby at least one of locking element of the main lock seat is separated from a locking groove to unlock. A stopper is disposed at the secondary lock seat, configured for moving between a stop position and an avoidance position. The timing electromagnetic traction assembly is configured for counting time upon when the position-sensing module detects the push-down type handle assembly is separated from the locking position, and for pulling the stopper from the stop position to the avoidance position after delaying a predetermined delay time to the unlocking position for delaying.

DOCKING STATION FOR MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLES
A docking station for micromobility transit vehicles is provided. The docking station may include a rack configured to dock a micromobility transit vehicle, a bollard for securing the micromobility transit vehicle within the rack, and a dock module configured to detect a characteristic of a lock cable securing the micromobility transit vehicle to the bollard. The dock module may include an inductive coil assembly disposed around a hole of the bollard to detect the lock cable inserted into the hole.
