  • Power Outlet with Restricted Access
    Publication number: 20120274441
    Abstract: An apparatus to provide controlled electrical energy in a substantially public setting includes a power control unit. The unit includes credential entering circuitry which, upon authentication, provides access to a supply of AC-type electrical energy which can be used to recharge batteries of a vehicle. Authentication can be carried out locally, or at a displaced access control system. An access credential can be entered via a card reader or a wires receiver.

  • Controller providing shared device access for access control systems
    Patent number: 8102240
    Abstract: An access control system and method for controlling access to secured areas includes a plurality of local readers connected to corresponding local control devices for reading portable access devices. A system reader reads the portable access devices, and a system control device is electrically connected to the local control devices. The system control device controls access to a common secure area using the system reader by validating the portable access devices using one of the local control devices. The system control device locally stores information from the portable access device and the associated local control device which may include validation or authentication data received from the associated local control device, so that repeat validation of the portable access device can be communicated from the associated local control device.
