Methods of protecting an electrically motorized human-powered vehicle are disclosed. A method may include transmitting, from a remote server, a security input relating to a user of the vehicle; receiving, at the electrically motorized human-powered vehicle the security input relating to the user; validating the security input; and enabling one of a first or second set of features based on the security input, wherein the second set of features is different from the first set of features and wherein one of set of features includes a service mode that enables maintenance access to the vehicle.

The embodiments herein provide a secure package delivery and pick-up system. The system comprises a security door with several collapsible storage compartments for accommodating packages meant for delivery or pick-up. The size of the compartments are configured to accommodate packages of different sizes and weights. The system enables secure delivery and return pick-up of packages at unmanned location by using security measures such as electronic key generation, biometric identification, RFID, video cameras. The user is facilitated to monitor the delivery and pick-up activity remotely through a mobile application downloaded on the computing device. The system is easy to install and provides protection of the packages form theft or damages due to weather conditions. The system enables user to share secure electronic keys with other users for a predetermined duration for accessing the building through the secure door and for usage of the storage compartments.

A key, a lock core and a lock, relating to a key, a lock core and a lock are provided. The key includes: a column body, a first end of the column body being provided with a light emitting component; a first cathode component disposed on the column body and connected to one end of the light emitting component to be mated with a second cathode component in the lock core; a first piezoelectric electrode disposed on the column body and connected to the other end of the light emitting component to be pressed against a second piezoelectric electrode in the lock core. When the first cathode component is mated with the second cathode component in the lock core, and the first piezoelectric electrode is pressed against the second piezoelectric electrode in the lock core, a piezoelectric current is generated, to cause the light emitting component to emit light.

A system, method, and device for operations of an electrically motorized vehicle. The vehicle can utilize an electrically motorized wheel to convert a non-motorized wheeled vehicle to an electrically motorized wheeled vehicle. One system includes a server in communication with the device of each of a plurality of electrically motorized wheels, the server operable to track a position of each of the electrically motorized wheels and communicate the position thereof to a transportation network.

A stand-up gun safe comprises a substantially vertical, but moderately tilted, spine that supports one or more hinges, which in turn support two shell components that rotate relative to the spine and swivel relative to each other. In a closed configuration, the respective edges of the two shell components abut each other, creating a secure seam. In an open configuration, the two shell components are separated from each other as they swivel and rotate away from each other on the hinges secured to the spine. A locking mechanism keeps the two shell components in a closed state. Because the spine is tilted, and the two shells are located on the top of the spine, when the lock is released gravity forces the two shells apart from each other, thereby resulting in a gravity-powered opening.

The lock includes an actuator (130), a generator (160), an engagement mechanism (114) to convey mechanical insertion power to the electric generator (160), and an electronic circuit (120), powered by the electric power (310), to read encrypted data (312) from a memory (102) embedded into the key (100), and, if the encrypted data (312) matches a predetermined criterion, to operate the actuator (130), with the electric power (310), to set (314) the actuator (130) to the unlocked position (300). The engagement mechanism (114) is also configured to engage with an extraction (400) of the key (100) and convey mechanical extraction power to the electric generator (160), and the electronic circuit, powered by the electric power (600), is also configured to operate the actuator (130), with the electric power (600), to reset (602) the actuator (130) to the locked position (140).

A high security electromechanical lock has a lock assembly configured to extend or retract a locking member. The lock assembly includes a first microcontroller communicatively coupled to an electronic storage memory. An electronic key input assembly is electrically and mechanically coupled to the lock assembly. The electronic key input assembly includes an electronic dial ring base having a base plate and a communications hub circuit. The base plate has a side wall. The communications hub circuit has a plurality of communications ports arranged around a periphery of the base plate that are accessible through the side wall. Each of the plurality of communications ports is configured to communicate with a respective peripheral electronic device of a plurality of peripheral electronic devices. The base plate is configured to mechanically removably mount each of the plurality of peripheral electronic devices around the periphery of the side wall of the base plate.

An electromechanical locking system includes one or more moveable locking elements and one or more actuators configured to move each of the one or more moveable locking elements between positions. The system includes a receptacle configured to receive a key, a sensor, a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium. The processor causes the sensor to scan the key and detect one or more features of the key, identify a first code that corresponds to the detected features of the key, and apply one or more functions to the first code to yield a second code. The second code includes one or more characters that each character corresponds to one of the plurality of positions. The processor causes the one or more actuators to move the one or more movable locking elements to the positions that correspond to the one or more characters of the second code.

An electronic gaming machine includes a cabinet, an access door, an electromechanical latch mechanically coupled to the cabinet and configured to mechanically engage and disengage the access door, and a switch assembly operable to control the electromechanical latch.
