Disclosed herein is a shipping container that includes numerous multi-factor authentication (MFA) tie ins to provide added security to the container. In some embodiments, the shipping container is associated with a mobile user profiles within a mobile application. A retailer makes a sale, then, using a mobile application, associates the container with the destination address and the MFA details associated with the buyer's mobile application account. Once the container is loaded up, the container will not open again except for the buyer using the buyer's MFA authentication credentials.

A lamp assembly for a vehicle comprising a housing and a securing system for securing the lamp assembly to the vehicle body. The securing system is arranged in the housing and comprises at least one latch movable between a retracted position and a locking position ; an electromagnet to attract a ferromagnetic member secured to the latchin order to move the latch to the locking position; a receiver coupled to a transmitter located inside the vehicle body, the receiver and the transmitter being part of a wireless power transfer device, the receiver being configured to power the electromagnet; and a retaining system configured to retain the latch in the locking position and which can be released to an inactive state for allowing the latch to move to the retracted position.

Aspects of the present disclosure describe a rechargeable door that includes at least one internal rechargeable battery and at least one further DC component powered by such rechargeable battery, wherein the at least one internal rechargeable battery is configured to be recharged via a physical connection, such as wired connections, or other contacts such as magnetic contacts or pogo pins or spring contacts, in the door via a second rechargeable battery or via wireless recharging, for example magnetic inductive or resonance charging, via placement of the second rechargeable battery on or within the door.

The disclosure provides an electronic lock without an active power source, an electronic lock system, and a method of operating the electronic lock. According to an exemplary embodiment, the electronic lock includes a WPR which receives wireless electrical power to provide power for the electronic lock; a circuit board electrically connected to the WPR and including a wireless transceiver which receives a lock command or an unlock command; and a controller configured to generate a lock control signal or an unlock control signal in response to receiving the lock command or an unlock command; and an actuator electrically connected to the circuit board and receives the lock control signal to lock a mechanical lock component or the unlock control signal to unlock the mechanical lock component.

A lock can include a motor assembly, a gear assembly, and an unlocking assembly. The motor assembly can include a motor and a drive shaft. The gear assembly can include a cam, a pinion gear, and a pinion. The pinion gear can include a plurality of teeth disposed along only a portion of a perimeter of the pinion gear. The pinion gear can be configured to engage the pinion. The pinion can be configured to translate laterally to release a biasing member to unlock a door of a container.

Lock arrangement and method for transferring electrical power with a lock arrangement that includes a counterpart of the lock and an electrical lock including a lock case. A device for wirelessly sending electrical power to the lock case and/or into connection with the lock case is arranged in connection with the counterpart of the lock, and arranged in the lock case and/or in connection with the lock case are a device for wirelessly receiving electrical power from the device for sending electrical power that is arranged in connection with the counterpart of the lock. The counterpart of the lock wirelessly sends electrical power to the lock case and/or into connection with the lock case with the device that is for sending electrical power, and the lock case wirelessly receives electrical power from the counterpart of the lock with the device that is for receiving electrical power, when the lock and the counterpart of the lock are at a certain distance from each other. The electrical power received from the connection of the lock is measured and the power level of the electrical power sent is increased and/or decreased in such a way that the measured level of the electrical power received is between certain predetermined upper and lower values or essentially at a given preset level.

Doors provide the means of access to a room or building. Enhancing the functionality of doors today requires ad-hock means for security and or communication. Both of these require a source of electrical power to operate these systems. Security is enabled using either mechanical locking devices, electro-mechanical locks, or magnetic locks. Communication is enabled using a variety of methods from metal striking devices, to push button voice systems, to video cameras. These systems require electrical power by either the use wires and or batteries. The invention describes a method and process for providing power to doors wirelessly.

A hinged object, such as a door, window, gate, lid, etc., comprises a first hinge, a second hinge, and an electromechanical locking device mounted on or in the hinged object. A first electrical wire is embedded in the hinged object that couples the electromechanical locking device to the first hinge, the first hinge to couple to a low-voltage power source to supply low-voltage electrical current to the electromechanical locking device via the first electrical wire. A second wire is embedded in the hinged object that couples the electromechanical locking device to the second hinge, the second hinge to couple to the low-voltage power supply to return low-voltage electrical current from the electromechanical locking device to the low-voltage power supply via the second electrical wire.

Example systems and methods are described that wirelessly charge a rechargeable battery associated with a lock. In one implementation, a rechargeable battery is electrically coupled to an electronic lock module associated with a door corresponding to a door frame. An electronic control module associated with the door frame and physically separate from the electronic lock module generates a wireless charging link between the electronic control module and the electronic lock module. The electronic control module transmits a charging signal to the electronic lock module via the wireless charging link, and the electronic lock module uses this charging signal to charge the rechargeable battery. The implementation also includes a lock associated with the door that can be locked or unlocked by the electronic lock module.
