  • Publication number: 20230036679
    Abstract: A door locking system includes two door handle units and a mounting device. The mounting device includes two mounting plates and two mounting pins. The mounting pins are fixed radially and axially in the mounting plates, and the mounting plates are secured coaxially at an axial distance. Each door handle unit is secured on the respective mounting plate, facing away from the mounting pins. Further, in the first mounting plate, two first openings are formed in which the two mounting pins are received. The first openings are formed by flaps pivoted to the mounting plate. The flaps can together be brought into a mounting position and into a blocking position by a blocking unit. In the mounting position, the flaps are freely pivotable, and in the blocking position, the flaps are pressed on toward the respective mounting pin by the blocking unit.

  • Patent number: 11496033
    Abstract: A device and method of producing electrical energy by gravitomagnetic induction utilizing Nano-features fabricated on an object surface of an object is presented. The Nano-features may include Nano-bumps and Nano-pits. One device version includes a computer hard disk, a piezoelectric glide head, and/or a GMR read head, a prior art hard drive module electronics. By spinning the nano-features disk one produces an associated magnetic force utilizing a GMR read head for producing power by the presence or the absence of matter on an object that is in motion relative to the GMR read head. A computer system generated by the alternate computer system generates gravito-magnetic energy to power itself and/or other electrical or electronic devices, and/or, detects patterns of asperities or bump on a hard disk to generate binary value private keys applicable in asymmetric cryptography, such as public key cryptography.
