A personally installable home emergency alert system, for alerting aid responders and to guide them to a residence where an individual has suffered a personal incident, and having a bulb having a globe portion containing a plurality of low voltage response lights, a base portion attached to the globe containing a plurality of response circuits and connectable to a domestic conventional power supply and adapted to activate the response lights, fastening means on the base portion whereby it is adapted to be received in a conventional domestic electrical lamp receptacle, and, a radio frequency remote controller adapted to communicate with the response circuits in the base portion operable to activate the low voltage response lights.

A vehicle for delivering packages, comprising a tractor comprising a motor, a pair of front wheels, a rear wheel, and a rail between the pair of front wheels and the rear wheel, and a removable container comprising a space for storing packages where a bottom of the container is configured to fit over and mount to the rail.

The present disclosure provides high security, personalized locking devices for securing a wide variety of personal transportation devices. The personalized locking devices disclosed herein may provide a locking mechanism that is keyed to the specific user. For example, the locking mechanism may be keyed to a user's biometric signature (e.g., a fingerprint, palm print, retinal image, voice recognition, and the like). The personalized locking devices disclosed herein are easy to transport and easy to use. The personalized locking devices disclosed herein may be configured to securely fasten a user's personal transportation device (e.g., motorcycles, mopeds, Segways, bicycles, scooters, skateboards) to an external structure (e.g., a bike rack, a fastening post, etc.) for the purpose of theft prevention.

The embodiments presented within provide methods, devices, and computer readable medium involving generation of power within a device, using this power to activate the device, measuring a physical characteristic of the power indicative of an external event, and then waking the device fully based on the external event. The device remains in a low-power sleep state until being woken based on the external event.

A door includes a door panel and an electric lock device including a solar energy module, a biometric verification module, a control module and an electric lock. The solar energy module converts solar energy into an electricity output. The biometric verification module receives a biometric input signal relative to a biometric feature, determines whether the biometric feature conforms with a set of pre-established data, and generates a conforming signal if the determination is affirmative. The control module receives the conforming signal to generate a control signal and an unlocking signal. The electric lock receives the control signal and the unlocking signal. The electric lock operates to unlock the door panel.

A collection station for post-consumer recyclable materials or other materials includes a housing, which may be fabricated from an intermodal freight container, and multiple collection receptacles positioned within the housing under openings in side walls of the housing for depositing materials in the collection receptacles. Each opening and collection receptacle may be designated for a different type of recyclable material, facilitating segregation of the different types of recyclable materials. In some embodiments, an electronic access control unit including a code reader allows a user to unlock access doors covering the openings using a smartphone or other code-carrying device. A rechargeable battery and solar power system may provide power for the access control unit. The collection receptacles may include bag support frames supporting collection bags, and each bag support frame may be retractable against a wall of the housing to enable service access to collection receptacles behind the bag support frame.

Electronic lock with an actuation and cascade self-powering embedded mechatronic system (1) comprising an electric generator (2) that generates electrical energy of variable voltage from a minimum voltage to a maximum voltage from mechanical energy and is capable of communicating through the lock starter chip (3) with a near field, energizing and storing the identification data (4b) provided by the near field (4) in the local memory (3a) of the lock starter chip (3), allowing it to be recovered in a specific time through the energy generated by the electric generator (2).

An electronic lock, including: a power storage device; and photovoltaic cells located on a surface of the electronic lock, the photovoltaic cells being electrically coupled to the power storage device in order to provide a charging current to the power storage device.
