ELECTRONIC DOOR SYSTEM, DOOR LOCK, AND LOCK ACTUATOR
An electronic door lock includes a motor having a stator and a rotor that rotates relative to the stator. The rotor is configured to rotate a spindle operatively coupled to a deadbolt lock at a 1:1 drive ratio therewith. The spindle is engaged with the deadbolt lock to cause extension and retraction with rotation of the spindle
Motorized electric strike
An exemplary electric strike includes a housing and a keeper pivotally mounted in the housing. The strike also includes a plunger having an extended position and a retracted position, a cage including an aperture, and a locking element movably seated in the aperture. The locking element is engaged with the plunger, and the plunger is structured to urge the locking element radially outward as the plunger moves from an extended position toward a retracted position. The strike also includes a sleeve, a transmission engaged with the sleeve, and a motor drivingly coupled to the transmission. The sleeve is structured to selectively prevent radially outward movement of the locking element and retraction of the plunger. The strike also includes at least one of a lost motion connection and an anti-tamper mechanism.
MOTORIZED ELECTRIC STRIKE
An exemplary electric strike includes a housing and a keeper pivotally mounted in the housing. The strike also includes a plunger having an extended position and a retracted position, a cage including an aperture, and a locking element movably seated in the aperture. The locking element is engaged with the plunger, and the plunger is structured to urge the locking element radially outward as the plunger moves from an extended position toward a retracted position. The strike also includes a sleeve, a transmission engaged with the sleeve, and a motor drivingly coupled to the transmission. The sleeve is structured to selectively prevent radially outward movement of the locking element and retraction of the plunger. The strike also includes at least one of a lost motion connection and an anti-tamper mechanism.
WIRELESS TAG-BASED LOCK ACTUATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Described herein is a wireless electronic lockset comprising a processing unit, a locking bolt, a motor, a wireless communication tag, and a wireless interface. The lockset is capable of connecting to a mobile device via a first communication protocol and/or a second communication protocol. The lockset sends a value to the mobile device via the first communication protocol and receives an actuation command via the second communication protocol if the mobile device has been verified by a server. The actuation command causes the lockset to lock or unlock the door.
AUTOMATIC ANALYZER
An automatic analyzer capable of improving maintainability by facilitating access to an interlock unit. The interlock unit includes an operation member configured to be movably supported between a lock position and a lock release position, and obstruct rotation to an open position of a cover; an electromagnetic driving unit configured to drive the operation member, and a driving connecting unit configured to connect the operation member and the electromagnetic driving unit and drive the operation member by conveying an operation of the electromagnetic driving unit to the operation member. The interlock unit is provided to be attachable and detachable to and from the housing.

The strike also includes a sleeve, a transmission engaged with the sleeve, and a motor drivingly coupled to the transmission. The sleeve is structured to selectively prevent radially outward movement of the locking element and retraction of the plunger. The strike also includes at least one of a lost motion connection and an anti-tamper mechanism.
POWERED PIVOTING FENESTRATION UNIT AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Motorized actuators for pivoting fenestration units that include both lock and open/close actuation, are addressed. Such actuators, and associated fenestration systems and methods, may achieve a variety of potential advantages, including egress functionality, ease of operation, active position control, aesthetically pleasing features (e.g., minimal design impact), intuitive controls, and others.
Wireless tag-based lock actuation systems and meihods
Described herein is a wireless electronic lockset. The lockset is capable of connecting to a mobile device via a first communication protocol and/or a second communication protocol. The lockset sends a value to the mobile device via the first communication protocol and receives an actuation command via the second communication protocol if the mobile device has been verified by a server. The actuation command causes the lockset to lock or unlock the door.
CONNECTION LOCK
A connection lock is provided, including: a driving member, movable between first and second positions; a locking device by which the driving member is restrictable in the second position; a first housing; an actuating assembly, movably mounted to the first housing and assembled with the driving member; a blocking assembly, mounted to the first housing and movable between release and blocking positions; an electronic transmission unit, connected to the first housing; when the driving member is in the first position, the actuating assembly is driven by the driving member to drive the blocking assembly to the release position, the blocking assembly is detachable from an anti-theft hole; when the driving member is in the second position, the driving member drives the actuating assembly and the actuating assembly restricts the blocking assembly in the blocking position so that the blocking assembly is undetachable from the anti-theft hole.
Latch assembly with removable battery
A vertical door latch assembly includes a housing and a bolt movably attached to the housing having a catch portion. A drive motor is located within the housing and is configured to selectively move a lock assembly between a locked position preventing movement of the bolt and an unlocked position allowing movement of the bolt. A battery assembly is removable from the housing when the lock assembly is in first position and fixed to the housing when the lock assembly is in a second position. A controller is in electrical communication with the drive motor and is configured to direct the actuator lock assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position.
