  • Patent number: 7984630
    Abstract: A lock includes a lock housing, a lock interface, a rotary locking member, a locking bolt, and a locking mechanism. The rotary locking member extends from a side portion of the lock housing, the rotary locking member being rotatable about a first axis between a locking position and a releasing position. The locking bolt is configured to hold the rotary locking element in the locking position when the locking bolt is in a first position and to allow the rotary locking member to rotate from the locking position to the releasing position when the locking bolt is in a second position. The locking mechanism is configured to slide the locking bolt from the first position to the second position in response to proper manipulation of the lock interface.

  • Publication number: 20100039682
    Abstract: An object identifying system includes an optical scanning device configured to record a series of linear images of successive portions of a support surface as the support surface is moved between first and second positions. A processor in electrical communication with the optical scanning device is configured to compile data corresponding to the series of linear images of the successive portions of the support surface to construct a digital image of the support surface. The processor is configured to compare the digital image of the support surface to at least one stored digital image of a known object to identify an object when the object is disposed on the support surface.

  • Publication number: 20090282879
    Abstract: A lock includes a rotary locking member, a locking bolt, and an electrically operable mechanism. The rotary locking member is rotatable about a first axis between a locking position and a releasing position. The locking bolt is configured to hold the rotary locking member in the locking position when the locking bolt is in a first position. The electrically operable mechanism is configured to move the locking bolt in a direction parallel to the first axis from the first position to a second position in response to an electrical signal supplied to the electrically operable mechanism. Movement of the locking bolt to the second position allows the rotary locking member to rotate from the locking position to the releasing position.
