The present invention relates generally to mechatronic locks and more specifically, and preferably, wireless mechatronic smart lock systems for locking doors which can be operated by a mechanical tool after positive authentication of the user. In a first aspect, there is provided a mechatronic lock system arranged for actuating a door lock operating member for locking and unlocking a door upon activation of said system comprising: an outside lock interface, comprising means for receiving a mechanical tool, arranged for operating said door lock operating member by a user of said lock system upon receiving said mechanical tool; an inner assembly, comprising: a wireless communication unit, arranged for wireless communication with a wireless communication device for authorizing said user; a control unit, in communicative connection with said wireless communication unit and arranged to activate said system for unlocking said door by activating a mechatronic clutch arranged for coupling said outside lock interface to said door lock operating member; wherein said mechatronic clutch is activated upon positive authorization of said user for opening said door by operating said outside lock interface.

An intelligent lock, overlock, and lock system can be electrically controlled to open and close one or more locks. The lock, lock system, and method may function on a frequency selected to avoid cross talk, which permits numerous locks to function simultaneously on the same central system with little interruption or delay. A lock may be used as an overlock for an existing lock or be a primary lock and may include a pivoting engagement structure that engages a locking mechanism to provide added strength.

A locking assembly for a non-pivotable door is provided. The locking assembly comprises a spacer plate defining a spacer plate bolt void and a strike plate defining a strike plate bolt void. The spacer plate and strike plate are to be coupled to one another and further fixedly coupled to the non-pivotable door, such that the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void are aligned. The locking assembly further comprises a locking mechanism and a housing, which is configured to receive and contain the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a latch bolt that is moveable between a retracted position within the housing and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the latch bolt extends outwardly from the housing and into each of the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void, thereby locking the non-pivotable door to the housing.

The present disclosure relates to an intelligent prevention passage control system for an electronic device, which comprises a detection device for an electronic device, a traffic control device integrated with the detection device for the electronic device, an industrial control host, a server, an access controller and a management terminal inside the traffic control device, The present disclosure can more accurately judge violations by scoring violations, and can make the system more intelligent by accurately judging violations, thus realizing no manual attendance, solving the problems of personnel recruitment, shift attendance and personnel management, and saving a lot of labor cost. At the same time, the system can avoid the hidden dangers caused by human feelings. sense of responsibility and inertia brought b manual prevention, and ensure the consistent, accurate and reliable standards of detection work.

An electronic key terminal includes a first case and a second case, an elastic member including a planar portion and a wall portion protruding from at least a part of a periphery of the planar portion in a direction from the first case toward the second case, and an electronic board housed in a space defined by the first case and the second case. The wall portion includes protruding portions protruding from opposing sides of the wall portion. The electronic board is partially disposed between the third planar portion and the protruding portions.

Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for storing energy in a electromechanical lock. The electromechanical lock can include a main housing and a deadbolt. The main housing can be configured to extend a deadbolt along a path to lock and/or unlock a door. The deadbolt can have a hollow inner region configured to receive an energy storage device. The energy storage device within the deadbolt can be electrically connected to the main housing. The energy storage device can be used to power an actuator and/or accelerometer in the main housing.

An actuation handle (4) for attaching to an outside of a door (2) has an access control system designed to control a motorized lock, that contains an evaluation unit and a reader (8) for reading and identifying a transponder located in a first detection range (12) defined by the reader (8). The reader (8) is integrated in the actuation handle (4). There is also a sensor (10) for detecting an object located in a second detection range (14) defined by the sensor (10), which is coupled to the evaluation unit and integrated in the actuation handle (4). The sensor (10) is located on a first section (16) of the actuation handle (4), and the second detection range (14) extends outward from the first section (16). The evaluation unit is configured to activate the sensor (10) to detect an object in the second detection range (14) after identifying a transponder.

A presence detection system includes a support layer operable to act as an underlying surface for supporting object(s), a sensor layer disposed beneath the support layer and operable to output readings indicating the presence of object(s) supported on the support layer and a controller for receiving the presence readings from the sensor layer and determining, based on the readings, an indicator of the occupancy status and/or an occupancy level of the support layer. The presence detection system can be used within an access gate system whereby the access gate is operated to a blocking position upon the presence detection system detecting more than one human supported on the support layer, this operation overriding a reading of an authenticated user token. The presence detection system can also be used within an elevator system wherein the elevator door subsystem and the elevator displacement subsystem are controlled based on an occupancy level detected by the detection system. Methods for detecting object are also contemplated.

A security device for an item of merchandise is provided. The security device includes a non-programmable locking mechanism comprising a mechanical lock and a programmable locking mechanism comprising a monitoring circuit operatively coupled to an alarm. The security device is configured to secure an item of merchandise from theft or removal when the mechanical lock is locked and to be separated from the item of merchandise when the mechanical lock is unlocked. The alarm is configured to provide an alarm signal if the security device is separated from the item of merchandise while the monitoring circuit is armed.

Examples of devices are described herein. In some examples, a device may include a plurality of electronic elements. In some examples, each of the electronic elements is mechanically interlockable to another of the electronic elements. In some examples, each of the electronic elements is to control a lock state based on a broadcast signal to modify a shape of the device to a predetermined target shape.
