  • Patent number: 8683833
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a handle set for a lock with a latch, the handle set having an authentication circuit and actuator in the interior handle that allow access to authenticated transponders. The present invention also provides a device and method for transmitting a rotational movement and force in an electronic lock, wherein the transmission takes place in a coupled state and not in a decoupled state and wherein the transmission of force does not damage an actuator that requires little energy to change between the coupled and decoupled states. A coupling cartridge of an electronic lock can easily be handed. The electronic lock can be retrofitted in installed mortise locks and used with cylindrical locks. The electronic lock can include a security feature that prohibits the electronic lock from changing between the coupled and decoupled states.

  • Patent number: 7845201
    Abstract: An electronic access control device with an actuator that requires little energy to change between the coupled and decoupled states. The actuator can have levers that interact to bias the control actuator in the decoupled state. The actuator can be changed between coupled and decoupled states by magnetizing and demagnetizing an armature that interacts with the levers. The electronic lock can include a security apparatus that prohibits the electronic lock from changing between the coupled and decoupled states when an external magnetic field is applied.

  • Publication number: 20100144269
    Abstract: Among others, the invention relates to a method and a system for controlling a system for receiving a wireless data transmission between at least two components (12, 100, 50), wherein at least one wireless interface (102, 112) can be activated, or is activated, for wireless data transmission. According to the invention, a first component (100) monitors an environment for the occurrence of at least one predefined change and/or for the occurrence of at least one predefined feedback from the environment. Once such a change, or feedback, has occurred, a wireless interface (102) is activated for the wireless data transmission, and optionally for the energy supply of a second component (50) via the wireless interface. The predefined change or feedback is caused particularly in that the second component (50) is returned to the environment. The system may be a system (10) for determining the identity and/or authorization, such as a locking system.
