A touchless motion sensor system for performing directional motion detection includes first and second touchless motion sensors. First and second sensing units are coupled to the first and second touchless motion sensors each having a sensing unit disable input, a sensing unit disable output, a sensing unit to sensing unit motion detected output, and motion logic. The first sensing unit disable output is coupled to the second sensing unit disable input, and the second sensing unit disable output is coupled to the first sensing unit disable input.

A device for accommodating a component in an interior space has a housing comprising a housing wall delimiting the interior space of the housing, and a passage portion in the wall. The component comprises a sensing element with an actuating portion, and a holding portion mechanically connected to said actuating portion and has at least one latching hook with a latching lug. The component has a holder with a latching edge. When the component is accommodated in the interior space, the actuating portion, in a first state, is arranged in the passage portion, and, to reach a second state with the actuating portion in the interior space, is displaceable into the interior space so the latching lug of the latching hook engages over the latching edge. The latching connection so created prevents the actuating portion from being displaced in the direction of the passage portion, and enables damage-free removal.

An electronic device including a keyless sensor according to various embodiments includes: a case including an opening; a sensor frame provided inside the case and at least partially exposed to an outside of the case through the opening, the sensor frame including a conductive part and a non-conductive part; and a hybrid sensor provided inside the case and accommodated in the sensor frame, wherein the hybrid sensor includes: a base disposed in the sensor frame; a pressure sensor disposed on the base and in contact with the conductive part; and a touch sensor disposed on the base and in contact with the non-conductive part.

A locking assembly for a non-pivotable door is provided. The locking assembly comprises a spacer plate defining a spacer plate bolt void and a strike plate defining a strike plate bolt void. The spacer plate and strike plate are to be coupled to one another and further fixedly coupled to the non-pivotable door, such that the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void are aligned. The locking assembly further comprises a locking mechanism and a housing, which is configured to receive and contain the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a latch bolt that is moveable between a retracted position within the housing and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the latch bolt extends outwardly from the housing and into each of the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void, thereby locking the non-pivotable door to the housing.

Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.

A lock control apparatus for a vehicle includes anchors to receive a signal transmitted from a terminal; a communication module to communicate using controller area network (CAN) communication; a detector installed on a door to input a detection signal; and a processor to receive the signal transmitted from the terminal from at least one of the anchors through the communication module, calculate a position of the terminal based on the signal transmitted from the terminal, determine whether to unlock the door in response to the position of the terminal and the detection signal, and control an engine to start. The processor controls the anchors to enter a sleep mode in response to waiting times of the anchors and resets the anchors to release the sleep mode and controls the anchors to enter a waiting mode in response to the number of anchors transmitting the signal from the terminal.

A robotic post includes a memory and a processor in communication with the memory, an optical sensor, a support holder and a securable hook. The robotic post is configured to secure an item container by coupling it to the securable hook and further adjusting the support holder. An optional robotic arm manipulates items in or out the item container based on particular semantics of interest inferred based on inputs from the optical sensor.

The present invention relates to a smart key for a vehicle including a substrate part on which components are mounted, a key accommodation part formed on the substrate part and into which an auxiliary key part is inserted, a reinforcement part coupled to the substrate part and augmenting rigidity, and a case part covering the substrate part, the key accommodation part, and the reinforcement part to augment the rigidity thereof.

A holding device for an identification element wherein the identification element is inserted in an identification system. The holding device includes a holding unit by which the identification element is held, and a data transceiver by which data is transferred between the holding device and the identification system. The data is transferred between the identification element and the holding device by the data transceiver even when the identification element is arranged outside of the holding unit. Also disclosed is an identification unit including a holding device and an identification element and to an identification system having an identification unit.

An arrangement (10) for an electronic locking system (24), the arrangement (10) comprising an actuating element (12) arranged to perform an actuating procedure (18) by means of manual manipulation by a user; an electromagnetic generator (14) comprising a stator (20) and a rotor (22), the rotor (22) being arranged to be rotationally driven relative to the stator (20) at least temporarily during the actuating procedure (18) by movement of the actuating element (12) to thereby generate electric energy; and an electronic control system (16) arranged to be electrically powered by the generator (14); wherein the control system (16) is arranged to control a provision of feedback to the user; and wherein the feedback is a haptic feedback in the actuating element (12), a sound signal, a light signal, or combinations thereof. An electronic locking system (24) comprising the arrangement (10) is also provided.
