    Abstract: The present application concerns access control for controlling unlocking of a door (102) at the presentation of credentials (108) at the door. A credentials relay unit (112) and a lock controller (114) are mounted in the vicinity of the door. The credentials relay unit transmits received credentials to a pre-configured, first network address, and in addition transmits a wake-up signal (122) to the lock controller, which upon receipt of the wake-up signal will transmit a request (126) for instructions to a pre-configured, second network address. In response to the request, the lock controller receives unlocking or no-action instructions (128a, 128b), and in case unlocking instructions are received, the lock controller transmits an unlocking signal (132).

    Abstract: A method and assembly produce color images of a scene captured by an image sensor exposed to visible light as well as IR radiation. A first image is captured with a first proportion of an iris aperture covered by an IR-cut filter. A first amount of radiation captured in the first image is determined and a second image captured with a second proportion of the iris covered by the IR-cut filter. A second amount of radiation captured in the second image is determined and a proportion of IR radiation is calculated in the scene based on the first amount of light, the second amount of light, the first IR-cut filter proportion, and the second IR-cut filter proportion. An IR contribution is removed from an image by using the calculated proportion of IR radiation.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an emergency notification system where indicators are mounted on or in a building in such a way that optical or thermal signals emitted from the indicators form a time-variant indication detectable outside the building of an emergency event taking place inside the building. Sensors detecting a predetermined sound are mounted inside the building and are each connected to a nearby indicator. When a sensor makes a detection, it sends event information to its associated indicator which will prompt the indicator to emit a first optical or thermal signal. Based on a signal from a timer connected to the indicator, a property of the first signal will change after a certain time has passed, thereby providing the time-variant indication.
