A control system of a marine vessel includes a portable device and a receiving device. The portable device transmits a switch control signal to the receiving device based on an input operation. The control system of the marine vessel performs an authentication control process based on an authentication signal from the portable device, and controls opening or closing of a current path based on the switch control signal from the portable device.

A system in a vehicle includes a panel configured cover a portion of the vehicle through which a port extends and one or more electro permanent magnets arranged on the portion of the vehicle. The system also includes a controller to magnetize the one or more electro permanent magnets based on applying a current of a first polarity to the one or more electro permanent magnets such that the one or more electro permanent magnets on the portion of the vehicle couple to the panel, the panel being metal, or to one or more permanent magnets on a surface of the panel to lock the panel when the panel is in the closed position.

A door lock control system includes a first device including a first transmitter, a first receiver, and a first controller configured to measure first signal strengths of radio signals received from a plurality of surrounding devices by the first receiver, and control the first transmitter to transmit the measured first signal strengths to a second device. The system further includes the second device including a second receiver and a second controller configured to measure second signal strengths of radio signals received from a plurality of surrounding devices by the second receiver, control the second receiver to receive the first signal strengths from the first device, compare the first signal strengths with the second signal strengths, and control a door lock based on the comparison of the first and the second signal strengths.

The invention relates to a handheld transmitter having an energy store, a motion sensor for detecting a movement of the handheld transmitter, and a transmission/reception unit for establishing a wireless connection to an electrically actuable portable lock, wherein the handheld transmitter can be switched over between a manual mode in which the connection establishment can only be triggered by the actuation of an actuation element by a user and an automatic mode in which the connection establishment can be triggered by a movement of the handheld transmitter. A further subject of the invention is a locking system comprising such a handheld transmitter and an electrically actuable portable lock. The invention additionally relates to a method of unlocking an electrically actuable portable lock by means of a handheld transmitter.

A door lock control system includes a first device including a first transmitter, a first receiver, and a first controller configured to measure first signal strengths of radio signals received from a plurality of surrounding devices by the first receiver, and control the first transmitter to transmit the measured first signal strengths to a second device. The system further includes the second device including a second receiver and a second controller configured to measure second signal strengths of radio signals received from a plurality of surrounding devices by the second receiver, control the second receiver to receive the first signal strengths from the first device, compare the first signal strengths with the second signal strengths, and control a door lock based on the comparison of the first and the second signal strengths.

Exemplary hand-held sprayer systems are shown and described herein. An exemplary hand-held sprayer system includes a container for holding fluid. The container has a neck. A closure connects to the neck. A fluid conduit extends from the closure to a dispensing wand. The dispensing wand is configured to be held in a hand and to be moved about while dispensing fluid. A data tag is secured to the container. The dispensing wand has a trigger, a data tag reader, a pump, a motor, a power source, a processor and memory. The hand-held sprayer also includes logic for causing the processor to determine whether a data read from the data tag meets a criteria for allowing the dispensing of fluid from the container. If the data read from the data tag meets the criteria, fluid is dispensed from the container when the trigger is activated.

An intelligent display and self-serve experience system and method are disclosed. The system at least includes an intelligent self-serve experience cabinet. The intelligent self-serve experience cabinet includes: a control module connected with a server; a cabinet body including an externally visible display space; an item transporting device connected with the control module for taking out an item from the display space and placing the item at an intelligent window, or putting the item at the intelligent window back into the display space according to a control command of the control module; the intelligent window connected with the control module for opening or closing a window, and performing predetermined data processing on the item in the window according to a control command of the control module; and a touch display screen connected with the control module for accepting an external input command and transmitting the command to the control module.

A lock system may include a lock unit and a gateway. The lock unit may include a first wireless communicator that is configured to communicate via a LoRa-based wireless communication link to initiate one or more operations, status inquiries, and/or lock unit updates of the lock unit. In some embodiments, the lock unit may also include one or more components that may be maintained in a powered-off and/or low-power standby state when not in use. The lock unit may activate power to these one or more components, including activating a second wireless communicator, for example, after receiving a wakeup signal from the gateway. The lock unit and the gateway may communicate requests for low bandwidth data transfer via the first wireless communicator and requests for high bandwidth data transfer via the second wireless communicator.

An internet-connected garage door control system is disclosed that includes a garage door opener for opening and closing a garage door in response to signals received through the internet, and an in-vehicle remote garage door opener integrated into a vehicle for transmitting the signals through the internet to the garage door opener. The in-vehicle remote garage door opener includes an interface configured to communicate with an internet-connected device, a trainable RF transceiver for transmitting an RF signal to the garage door opener, a user-actuated input, an interface configured to communicate with an internet-connected device, and a controller, wherein, upon actuation of the user-actuated input, the controller is configured to at least one of (a) request a signal to be transmitted by the internet-connected device through the internet to the garage door opener, and (b) cause the trainable RF transceiver to transmit the RF signal to the garage door opener.

A multi-compartment storage container for a drone is disclosed having a housing defining a main compartment, a plurality of separation walls designed to delimit from each other internal compartments which are contained inside the main compartment, closing assemblies associated with an internal compartment operable to be switched between a locked configuration which prevents access to the internal compartment, and an unlocked configuration which allow access to the internal compartment. A control device is also provided being connected to the closing assemblies allowing them to operate selectively and equipped with an interface configured to receive an identification signal from a user. If the identification signal is associated with a predefined access authorization a selected internal compartment associated with the predefined access authorization is unlocked.
