Patent number: 11434663Abstract: An interchangeable electronic lock mechanism provides selective access to a motor controlled latching system including a motorized pin to lock and unlock a knob assembly. The lock mechanism may be used to replace key operated locking cores, on the exterior of a storage unit, with a plug and optional adapter inserted into a remaining shell housing, and a driver to control access to a storage unit. Manual rotation of the knob activates the drive assembly to control access to the storage unit. An optional break away security feature in the knob inhibits unauthorized unlatching of the lock. When the lock is unlatched, the knob rotates the drive assembly including the plug and adapter within the shell housing, and in turn, activates the driver to operate the lock assembly in the storage unit. An optional modular chassis assembly includes a removable array of components for testing, maintenance and repair.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: 2603701 ONTARIO INC.Inventors: Theodore Ullrich, John McLeod, Tonino Sabelli, Dean Dipietro, Pepin Gelardi

Patent number: 11047392Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a use condition of an appliance, such as a sump pump, and outputting an indication of the current use condition of the appliance. A system implementing the method will first generate an actual first signature of a first characteristic associated with the appliance. The system will then generate an actual second signature of a second characteristic associated with the appliance. Each of the actual first and second signatures are then compared to corresponding expected signatures. The system then selects a current use condition from a plurality of use conditions based on the relationship between the actual signatures and the expected signatures.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: CONNECTM TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Nayeem M.

Patent number: 9663972Abstract: An interchangeable electronic lock includes an electronic access system to activate a motor which powers a gear assembly in the electronic lock. An optional manual bypass allows an operator to override the electronic access. When the lock is activated, the operator manually cranks a lock shaft to lock and unlock a storage unit. A controller selectively operates the motor to move the gear assembly in a linear direction. The gear assembly engages a first portion of a drive assembly with a second portion, to permit manual operation of the lock shaft to lock and unlock the storage unit. An optional modular chassis assembly includes a removable array of components for testing, maintenance and repair. The invention includes a system for operation of the electronic lock, a method of operating the electronic lock and software for operating the electronic lock.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2012Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: WESKO LOCKS LTD.Inventors: Theodore Ullrich, John McLeod, Tonino Sabelli, Dean Dipietro, Pepin Gelardi
