Abstract: A method for determining a distance between two spatial points, thus between a first point and a second point, includes recording a first picture from a first viewing point, wherein the first picture includes a reference object and the first point, recording a second picture for a second viewing point, wherein the second picture includes the reference object and the second point and wherein the second viewing point is different than the first viewing point and finally determining the distance between the first point and the second point from picture data of the first picture and picture data of the second picture using a known dimension of the reference object. Thereby, the first point and/or the second point can be arranged outside a plane encompassing the reference object.

Abstract: A system is provided with a portable device (31) for the transmission of signals to a second device, wherein the portable device (31) is wearable on the body of a user.

Abstract: Method for controlling the locking of an electronic lock (5), including the following steps: a user (4) is identified vis-à-vis the electronic lock, the electronic lock (5) displays a question, the user transmits the question to a central station (1), the central station computes the answer to the question and transmits this answer to the user, the user enters the answer in the lock, the lock verifies whether the response is correct and decides according to this answer whether to unlock the door a receipt code is displayed by the lock (5) and transmitted by the user to the central station (1) with the aid of the mobile equipment (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for information transmission between a write- and/or read installation and several portable devices. According to the invention, the information transmission between a portable device and the write- and/or read installation is effected via two channels. On the one hand a first information transmission takes place capacitively and preferably with the human body as a transmission medium. On the other hand, the information transmission procedure also includes a second or conventional “contactless” transmission, i.e. an inductive transmission or a transmission via electromagnetic waves, for example in the radio frequency-, microwave- or infrared range.

Abstract: The invention relates to the information transmission between a data-transmitting apparatus and a read- and/or write module, in particular for the use of access control. According to the invention, data to be transmitted is represented as a digital signal by the data-transmitting apparatus, and this signal is converted into an ultra-broadband signal by way of the spread spectrum method, and capacitively and/or resistively transferred via the body of the user to the write- and/or read module.

Abstract: A lock cylinder with key, in which the cylinder has a rotor and a stator with radial tumbler pins and the key has depressions corresponding to the tumbler pins. At least one tumbler pin functions as a control pin (K), in that a zone produced by an offset provides a side coding (F) in addition to the depth coding (T) with a diameter corresponding to an additional coding (B) and the associated key has a depression with sides (8), whose spacing between the sides corresponds to the coded diameter (B) of the control pin offset and whose tumbler pin cooperates on the one hand with the milled coding in the key and on the other hand with control faces formed in the key blank. The aim is to create a copying or forging obstacle by means of a technical measure in the cylinder and on the blank.

Abstract: An individual identification system is a modular combination of a person-related first unit with transmittable/receivable storage elements by way of an antenna, the unit operating alone or together with a further unit having an additional, but different, identification part, and a person-unrelated and instead object-related second unit for the interaction between the person and the object and with a control for checking and maintaining the interaction with which units and objects are crosslinked. The person-related first unit is carrier oriented and is permanently or removably located on a use article, e.g., on a key, in a pass, on or in a watch or any other object which changes position with the person and is not coordinate-fixed. The object-related second unit is place-oriented and is at fixed locations (e.g. building doors), or is arranged in fixed manner on moving objects (e.g. vehicles).

Abstract: A lock cylinder with key, in which the cylinder has a rotor and a stator with radial tumbler pins and the key has depressions corresponding to the tumbler pins, has at least one tumbler pin exercising the function of a control pin (K), in that a zone formed by an offset is used for a flank code (f), provided in addition to the depth code (T) and having a diameter (B) corresponding to an additional code and the associated key has a depression with side flangs (8), whose spacing corresponds to the coded diameter (B) of the offset of the control pin.

Abstract: A cylinder lock system employs a key which has a pair of projections extending from opposing parallel edges of the key blade. The keyway of the lock has an enlarged slot portion for receiving the projections upon insertion of the key. One of the projections cams pins of an auxiliary pin stack to present a shear line between the pins to permit rotation of the key plug to an unlocked mode. The other projection is received in a groove formed in the shell and is engageable against a surface of the groove upon rotation of the key to retain the key within the keyway.

Abstract: A lock cylinder has a stator rotatably mounted in a lock cylinder casing fixed with respect to the lock, is lockable to said casing and is operatively connectable to the driver on the rotor by means of tumbler pins between rotor and stator. The stator can be locked to the casing by an electromagnetic latch and for rotating the stator together with the rotor, use is made as a blocking catch of the tumbler pins arranged in a selected manner with respect to the shear line therebetween. The locking and unlocking between the locking cylinder casing and the stator is effective if the tumbler pins prevent the relative movement between the rotor and stator.
