Abstract: Determining a position of a deadbolt used to lock and unlock a door is disclosed. An electromechanical lock can include a deadbolt that can retract or extend along a linear path as the door is to be locked and unlocked. A sensor such as an accelerometer can rotate along a non-linear path as the deadbolt moves along a linear path. The accelerometer can determine a gravity vector that can be indicative of a position of the accelerometer along the non-linear path. A controller can then determine a position of the deadbolt based on the gravity vector.

Abstract: A latch assembly is provided where the latch is moveable to open and close a door by operation of a dead lock assembly that blocks or unblocks movement of a bolt. In a blocked state, a blocking cartridge of the dead lock assembly is prevented from inward movement, blocking inward movement of the bolt. Turning a door knob or door handle causes a spindle extending through the dead lock assembly to move locking bars of the dead locking assembly, the locking bars moving further apart to permit the blocking cartridge to slide there between and move inwardly into the latch housing. The bolt can now move inward by force of the doorjamb upon the bolt in order to clear the doorjamb when opening and closing the door.

Abstract: Latch mechanisms adapted to prevent unauthorized displacement of a latch bolt from an extended, locked position to a retracted, unlocked position. The latch mechanisms prevent the failure of a latch bolt of one latch mechanism to return to an extended lock position from interfering with the ability of a latch bolt of an inter-related latch mechanism from being able to return to an extended, locked position. Further embodiments provide a mounting bracket mounted to a door to allow the associated latch mechanism to be indirectly secured to the door. Additionally, the mounting bracket may have a plurality of mounting orifices that allow the mounting bracket to be used with a wide range of latch mechanisms, as well as provide adjustable attachment of the latch mechanism to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving sensor data associated with a mobile device associated with a vehicle, wherein the sensor data includes at least one of an angular velocity vector, a linear acceleration vector, and a rotational acceleration vector recorded over a period of time, determining an event signature based on the sensor data, and detecting a door closing event associated with the vehicle based at least in part on the event signature. Other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed.

Abstract: A deadbolt lock includes a positioning member mounted to a lock part. A protective member includes a recess formed in one side thereof and is mounted to the lock part and the positioning member. A covered area is formed between the positioning member and the protective member. At least one fixing member is connected to the positioning member and located within the covered area. An outer cover is mounted to the protective member and the positioning member. The at least one fixing member is compact in size to reinforce the protective member to reduce manufacturing cost. The protective member and the outer cover are not damaged by impact from outside of the deadbolt lock to enhance safety features of the deadbolt lock.

Abstract: A camera housing includes a main body having four sides that form a cavity to receive a camera, a door detachably coupled to the main body, and an exposed area in the main body allowing a user to manipulate a button on the camera or access an I/O or microphone interface of the camera. The camera housing includes an indicator window substantially aligning with a visible indicator on the camera, a latch detachably securing a first side of the door to a first side of the main body; and a hinge coupling a second side of the door to a second side of the main body. The camera housing includes securing protrusions that interlock with corresponding mounting protrusions extending from a camera mount. A front face and a rear face of the camera are exposed when the camera is secured by the door in the camera housing.
