Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a self-mating fastener that includes a backing having a first side, and a rail element protruding perpendicularly from the first side of the backing. The rail element extends in a longitudinal direction along the backing. The rail element has a base portion attached to the first side of the backing and a cap portion distal from the backing. The cap portion has a cap width that is greater than a width of the base portion and the cap portion overhangs the base portion on opposing sides. The self-mating fastener includes an electrically conductive contact element proximate to the rail element.

Abstract: An optical element includes a porous layer with a network of a plurality of interconnected voids. The porous layer is optically diffusive to at least one wavelength of light when the network of interconnected voids is substantially free of fluid. The porous layer of the optical element undergoes a detectable optical change upon fluid ingress into the network or egress from the network of interconnected voids.

Abstract: Smart locking devices, systems and methods are provided. A user mobile device can transmit a wireless signal to an electronic locking device. The electronic locking device includes a power sensor to sense the harvested power, and a controller to process the communication component to determine an algorithm to operate the electronic locking device. The mobile device is connected to a network environment where user authentication and encryption data can be generated, stored, and relayed to multiple user mobile devices for wireless key management for authentication.
