The invention provides a digital lock including at least two magnets. One magnet is a semi-hard magnet and the other magnet is a hard magnet. The hard magnet is configured to move to close the digital lock in the event of malicious attack, blocking the intruder thereby the magnets acting as a blocking pin, and the mechanical and/or electromagnetic energy of the attack is configured to move the hard magnet to seal the digital lock from the intruder.

An exemplary access control device includes a locking member having a locked position and an unlocked position; an electronic actuator operably connected with the locking member; a switch connected between the electronic actuator and a power supply, the switch having a closed state in which the electronic actuator is connected to the power supply and is operable to maintain the locking member in the unlocked position, the switch having an open state in which the electronic actuator is disconnected from the power supply; and a manual actuator operable to transition the switch between the open state and the closed state.

A digital lock including at least two magnets is disclosed. One magnet is a semi-hard magnet and the other magnet is a hard magnet. The hard magnet is configured to open or close the digital lock. The semi hard magnet and the hard magnet are placed adjacent to each other. A change in magnetization polarization of the semi hard magnet is configured to push or pull the hard magnet to open or close the digital lock.

A locking system is described. The locking system, includes a lock. The lock includes a semi-hard magnet and a hard magnet. The hard magnet is configured to move to open or close the lock, the lock is self-powered using near field communication (NFC), and the lock is digitally controlled using a mobile application.

An electromagnetic lock assembly includes a magnet block having a coil assembly and a connection for receiving an electrical current; and a control system having a detection circuit and an activation circuit, wherein the detection circuit senses a voltage across the coil and automatically sends an activation signal to the activation circuit when the voltage decreases from a supply voltage to a reference threshold voltage, the activation circuit increasing the electrical current through or the voltage across the coil assembly upon receipt of the activation signal. The electromagnetic lock assembly may further include an armature for coupling with the magnet block, wherein the supply voltage is configured by the control system to magnetically couple the armature and the magnet block absent an external separating force applied against the armature or magnet block.

The invention provides a digital lock including at least two magnets. One magnet is a semi hard magnet and the other magnet is a hard magnet. The hard magnet is configured to open or close the digital lock. The semi hard magnet and the hard magnet are placed adjacent to each other. A change in magnetisation polarisation of the semi hard magnet is configured to push or pull the hard magnet to open or close the digital lock.

A wireless deadbolt door lock is an electric dock lock that can be powered and controlled through wireless means. This is accomplished using an electric deadbolt door lock body containing a Dual Position Latching Solenoid (DPLS) to move a deadbolt plunger in a reciprocating linear motion, between a withdrawn deadbolt position and a locking deadbolt position, protruding out from the electric deadbolt door lock body. The DPLS is controlled by an energy efficient bi-stable permanent magnet activation system (BSPMAS), which can be wirelessly controlled. A wireless charging station between the door frame and the door can be used to charge batteries or capacitors to power the BSPMAS. A mechanical release/locking device and electrical mechanical switches are also provided for unlocking or locking the deadbolt door lock when a wireless device is unavailable.
