  • Publication number: 20240046722
    Abstract: A biometric wireless electronic lockset includes a processor, a battery, a memory communicatively connected to the processor, a user interface, a wireless communication interface, a locking bolt, a motor, and a biometric sensor. The processor is configured to execute instructions which cause the processor to compare stored biometric data to a received first biometric data. Each known user entry includes a user identity of a known user, biometric data, and an indication of whether the known user is an authorized user. Based on a determination that the first biometric data corresponds to a known user entry and whether or not the known user is an authorized user or an unauthorized user, a plurality of responses may be generated.

  • Publication number: 20230215232
    Abstract: An electronic lock includes an interior subassembly including a manual turnpiece, a control circuit, and a motor actuatable by the control circuit, and an exterior subassembly including a facial authentication circuit operatively connected to the control circuit. The electronic lock includes a latch operatively connected to the interior subassembly, the latch being engageable by the manual turnpiece or the motor to move the electronic lock between a locked state and an unlocked state. The facial authentication circuit includes at least one camera and is configured to generate an authentication signal to the control circuit, and wherein, at least in part in response to the authentication signal, the control circuit is configured to actuate the motor to move the electronic lock between the locked state and the unlocked state.

  • Publication number: 20220325557
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and correcting insufficient locking behavior, using an electronic lockset. One aspect is a method of deadlatching an electronic lockset, the method comprising detecting motion of a deadbolt from an unlocked position toward a locked position, determining a position of the deadbolt after the motion ceases via a sensor of the electronic lockset, determining, based on the position, whether the deadbolt has moved to the locked position, wherein in the locked position the deadbolt is placed in a deadlatched state, and transmitting an actuation command to the electronic lockset to move the deadbolt into the locked position.

  • Publication number: 20070201306
    Abstract: A blender base that may be used with a food processor container, a blender container, and a single use beverage container. The blender container includes a novel blade unit having a food processor-style blade and blender type blades. Programs with preprogrammed motor commands for desired operations are stored in memory and may be selected by a user on a user interface. The user interface may include a liquid crystal display, or function switches and light emitting diodes. Upon selection of a particular pre-defined function, the microcontroller retrieves the appropriate program from the read only memory and specifies the preprogrammed motor commands to accomplish the selected function.
