Patent number: 8683833Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2007Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Simonsvoss Technologies AGInventors: James S. Marschalek, Warren A. Simonsen, Ludger Voss, Herbert Meyerle, Norbert Voss, Stefan Parhofer

Patent number: 7845201Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2007Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: SimonsVoss Technologies AGInventors: Herbert Meyerle, Norbert Voss, Ludger Voss, James S.

Patent number: 7703229Abstract: Safety device for a hand-held weapon comprising a transponder for authenticating at least one authorized weapon user carrying or wearing the Transponder or for authenticating an allowed area for using the weapon. The transponder is adapted to emit a wireless preferably cryptified authenticating signal. The safety device further comprises a safety component for a grip of the weapon which is adapted to be necessarily activated by a hand of the user when the hand is holding the grip of the weapon and which upon activation emits a wireless request signal. The transponder is adapted to emit the authenticating signal upon receipt of the request signal from the safety component. The safety means receives and processes the authenticating signal from the transponder and permits firing of the weapon by the user upon receipt of an authenticating signal from the transponder authenticating an authorized user.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2003Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Armatix GmbHInventors: Stefan Parhofer, Bernd Dietel, Herbert Meyerle

Publication number: 20080244699Abstract: A means for the secure personalized identifying and allowing or prohibiting of a logical and/or physical access to a target means. The means comprises a portable identification means for outputting an authorization signal comprising at least one biometric sensor, at least one output elemental, a processor having a memory and a software as well as a sending- and receiving electronic for the wireless data exchange. The identification medium is configured in such a manner that upon successfully authentifying by an authorized user, an authorization signal is output over the output element. The portable identification medium is arranged at a wristband to be fixed at a user's wrist. The means comprises at least one security means which is configured to interrupt and/or prohibit the outputting of the authorization signal in case the wristband is opened and/or disconnected and/or the removing of the means from the user's wrist.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2007Publication date: October 2, 2008Applicant: Armatix GmbHInventors: Stefan Parhofer, Bernd Dietel, Dipl-Ing Bernd Lind
