  • Publication number: 20250046135
    Abstract: Release mechanism for an electronic locking system, wherein the release mechanism is configured such that an input member and an output member are locked against relative rotation and can rotate together within a locking ring opening when a locking member is located in an input member recess and in an output member recess, and such that the output member is released to rotate relative to the input member when the locking member is located in the output member recess and in a locking ring recess. A freewheel mechanism and assemblies for an electronic locking system are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11455850
    Abstract: It is presented a power converter for transferring electric power provided on an input terminal to an energy storage element. The power converter comprises: an inductor; a switch connected to selectively control a connection between the inductor and the input terminal; and a comparator, wherein an output of the comparator controls the switch, a first input of the comparator is supplied with a voltage being proportional to a voltage of the input terminal, and a second input of the comparator is supplied with a voltage being proportional to a current from the input terminal; wherein the energy storage element is connected to a point between the inductor and the switch.
