Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a short-range communication device (10, 10?, 5 10?) for a personal protective equipment or a personal protective device (200, 210, 220, 230) comprising a transmission unit (20, 20?, 20?) for wirelessly transmitting a voice signal of a user (100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160) to a receiving unit (40,40?, 40?) over a predetermined distance such that a communication channel is established between the transmission unit (20, 20?, 20?) and the receiving unit (40, 40?, 40?) so that a user (100, 10 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160) can hear the voice signal. The present disclosure further relates to a short-range communication system comprising at least two short-range communication devices (10, 10?, 10?) according to the present disclosure and to a method of establishing a short-range communication between such devices (10, 10?, 10?).

Abstract: A modular surface mounted electric strike system is provided. The system comprises a universal base plate having first and second sides, each having first and second mounting points. Each electric strike module includes a header, a keeper assembly, and an actuator assembly configured for moving between a keeper blocking mode and a second mode. When the first and second latches are separated a first distance, the first and second electric strike modules are attached to the first mounting locations on the respective first and second sides of the base plate. When the first and second latches are separated a second distance, the first electric strike module is attached to the second mounting location on either the first or second sides of the base plate, and the second electric strike module is attached to the second mounting location on the other of the first or second side of the base plate.
