摘要： A knife station includes a knife block defining a plurality of slots for receiving a plurality of cutlery objects. A locking assembly selectively locks the cutlery objects in their respective slot, e.g., using a locking pin that passes through an aperture in the blade. A controller is operably coupled to an audio device, such as a microphone, for receiving voice commands. The voice commands are converted to text commands using AI-based speech recognition technology and the text commands are compared to a database of text commands to identify a target cutlery object from the cutlery objects in the knife block. The controller may then illuminate a light emitting diode next to the target cutlery and unlock only that piece of cutlery so that the user may withdraw it from the knife block.

摘要： Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for electrically and mechanically connecting a deadbolt to a main housing of a lock. The main housing can be configured to extend a deadbolt along a path to lock and/or unlock a door while receiving electrical energy from an energy storage device disposed in the deadbolt. The energy storage device disposed in the deadbolt can be proximate to one or more electrical contacts electrically connected to one or more components in the main housing via conductive components of a bolt carriage. The bolt carriage includes a groove attachable to a male detent connector attached to the deadbolt. The groove in the bolt carriage provides a mechanical connection to the deadbolt and also aligns pogo pins with electrical components of the bolt carriage to enable electrical transmission from the deadbolt to the main housing.

摘要： A safe comprises a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing defining an interior compartment for storage of items, the second housing portion being pivotal with respect to the first housing portion between closed and open positions. A latching mechanism cooperates with spaced apart first and second strikers to maintain the second housing portion in the closed position. The latching mechanism includes movable first and second locking elements that engage respective of the first and second strikers when the second housing portion is being maintained in the closed position. The first and second locking elements are retracted away from the first and second strikers to release the second housing portion into the open position. A motor having a rotatable output shaft carries a drive dog. A rotating plate rotatable about an axis is also provided, the rotating plate having an engaging element that is driven by the drive dog. First and second levers are pivotally connected at their proximal ends to the rotating plate at substantially diametrically opposed locations, distal ends of the first and second levers being connected to the locking elements.

摘要： An electric door lock uses an interface to receive a credential to disengage a door lock. The interface is disposed on the user-graspable handle. The interface may comprise a sensor that receives a credential, such as an alphanumeric or symbolic code, a biometric input, or any appropriate combination of inputs. After a credential is entered, a gesture may be input to the interface to indicate that the credential is complete and prompt a controller to disengage the lock device. A gesture may comprise a motion or series or motions. The electric door lock also provides a control system that can be networked to allow remote entry of a credential. The control system can also control a plurality of door handles through a single door, or provide controls through remote devices.

摘要： This invention permits (or rejects) access to a secure location by authenticating precision up to 106 i.e. 10 to the power 6 or 1,000,000. Such precision allows highly secure and controlled access thereby paving a new field of finer control and security than the conventional security techniques based on software or hardware. Objective of this invention is to provide an additional high-robust-security wall over existing locks/vaults/security systems. Such new high-robust-security wall will allow existing owners, companies to have a hacker-proof and secure mechanism without upgrading or replacing their existing security systems in place. Another benefit of this objective is to launch new industrial sectors as below: 1. Sector (R&D Firms): Manufacture, Test and Create new alloys based on resonance frequencies needed to identify a unique key. 2. Sector (Manufactures): Mass produce such keys and metal plates for each metal once such frequencies are identified. 3. Sector (Maintenance & Support): Highly specialized Maintenance and Support services for customers utilizing this security mechanism. For example, Support services such as, customer might need help for delivering such keys securely, replace existing keys in event of malfunction of the old key, Support key and metal plate manufacturers by regularly providing updates on new alloys designed by R&D firms. 4. Sector (Private networks): Private networks connecting R&D firms and Manufacturers, and another private network connecting Manufacturers and Maintenance & Support, and another network connecting Maintenance & Support services and existing customers.
