An imaging device with a two door interlock system for detecting a positional state of orthogonally mounted first and second access doors of the imaging device. The two door interlock system includes a mounting assembly rotatably mounted to a frame of the imaging device and movable by the first access door between a first position and a second position, and an actuator projecting from an inner surface of the second access door, and a sensor positioned on the mounting assembly and providing an output signal that changes between a first state and a second state. The output signal being in the first state when both of the first and second access doors are in their respective closed positions and in the second state when at least one of the first and second access doors are in their respective open positions.

An exemplary bolt assembly includes a housing, a bolt, and a magnetic sensor. The housing includes a tubular sleeve configured for mounting in a latch bore of a door. The bolt is movably mounted to the housing for movement between an extended position and a retracted position. The magnetic sensor includes wires that extend through the tubular sleeve, and is operable to transmit information relating to an open/closed position of the door.

An electronic lock device according to one embodiment includes a first magnetometer, a second magnetometer, a dynamic ferromagnetic component positioned between the first magnetometer and the second magnetometer, a processor, and a memory comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, causes the electronic lock device to read sensor data from the first magnetometer and the second magnetometer, modify the sensor data to generate compensated sensor data that compensates for magnetic noise generated by the dynamic ferromagnetic component, and determine whether the door is in a closed state or an open state based on the compensated sensor data.

A door position sensor of an electromagnetic door lock. The electromagnetic lock also includes an electromagnet and a strike plate. The electromagnet is secured to the door frame and the strike plate is movably mounted to the door so that a controlled amount of door movement in the opening direction is permitted while the strike plate remains in contact with an energized electromagnet. The door position sensor may comprise a sensor in or on the electromagnet and a permanent magnet mounted to the door and disposed in proximity to the sensor when the door is in a closed position. The sensor may be a reed switch or a Hall Effect sensor. The permanent magnet and strike plate may be mounted to the door by a mounting tray. The mounting tray may include indicia to aid in providing a proper alignment of the strike plate to the door and electromagnet.

A method of determining a door state in a camera-based door position system according to one embodiment includes capturing, by a camera system, an image of a door lock secured to a door, wherein the door lock includes a thumbturn that is moveable between a first position corresponding to a locked state and a second position corresponding to an unlocked state, converting, by a processing system, the captured image to a grayscale image, generating, by the processing system, a door state image based on the grayscale image, and determining, by the processing system, a current door state of the door based on the door state image and a reference image.

A locking device that can be mounted into a rotating or swinging door is disclosed. The locking device can have a deadbolt. The locking device can detect the position of the deadbolt and/or whether the door is closed. The locking device can have a camera, microphone and speaker. The locking device can send images detected by the camera and audio detected by the microphones to a remote computer.

An electronic gaming machine including a cabinet defining an interior space. The electronic gaming machine also includes a door releasably fastened to the cabinet operable to move between a locked state preventing access to the interior space and an unlocked state permitting access to at least a portion of the interior space. A security housing comprising a locking assembly and an optical switch coupled to a processor. The locking assembly includes an actuator defining a channel. The optical switch comprises a transmitter and a receiver. When the door engages the locking assembly, the actuator is operable to move the channel to align with the transmitter and the receiver to form an optical path between the transmitter and the receiver through the channel and the optical switch is operable to communicate the locked state to at least one of the processor, the server computer, and the gaming system.

A door assembly for a vehicle includes a door and a check strap pivotally coupled to the door. An engagement member is releasably engageable with the check strap. A spring is positioned to bias the check strap toward the engagement member. When the engagement member is engaged with the check strap, the check strap maintains the door in an open position. When the engagement member is disengaged with the check strap, the door is swung to the closed position under the bias of the spring.

The invention relates to a lock (1) which can be actively released and locked by control technology, particularly for use in automatic storage machines having a plurality of compartments with compartment doors (2) which are to be opened individually, and to an automatic storage machine having at least one such lock (1). The lock (1) comprises a detent pawl (14), which can lock a locking element (9), which is permanently connected to a compartment door (2), in the lock such that the compartment door (2) can be held in closed position. The lock further has a first electric drive element (17) which transitions the detent pawl (14) from the locking position to a release position upon the applying of electrical power, such that the compartment door (2) can be opened. The lock (1) further comprises a security device (32), which prevents an automatic reset of the detent pawl (14) from the release position to the locking position when the lock (1) is in an unpowered state or the automatic storage machine is in an unpowered state, and an unintentional, accidental or improper locking of a compartment door can thus be avoided. In order to properly lock a compartment door, the security device (32) of the lock (1) comprises a second electric drive element, by means of which the detent pawl (14) can be transitioned back to the locking position thereof upon the applying of electrical power to said second electric drive element during closing of the compartment door (2).

An intelligent door lock system is coupled to a door at a dwelling. A sensor is at the dwelling. The sensor is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the sensor and includes a bolt. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together. A camera is coupled to or part of the intelligent door lock system. The camera is configured to define a safe zone in the dwelling in which an occupant, and a non dwelling occupant third person is allowed into the dwelling.
