Abstract: An actuation device, for example for a door lock, is capable of actuation by a control unit which can be initiated by a transponder reader unit, said control unit being connected to a magnetic signal evaluation unit. The transponder reader unit generates signals which correspond to the signals of a magnetic card read head, for the initiation of the magnetic signal evaluation unit.

Abstract: A flat metal key has a groove-shaped recess in the narrow side of the bow for receiving a transponder as a code transmitter, a ferrite coil and a line connecting the ferrite coil with the code transmitter.

Abstract: A locking device with at least one key and a locking cylinder having at least one cylinder core with a key channel. The core is mounted rotatably in a cylinder housing, mechanical tumblers for blocking and releasing the cylinder. An actuator is disposed in the cylinder housing for shifting a blocking element blocking and releasing the cylinder core. An electronic code transmitter is provided in the key and an electronic code evaluator in the cylinder housing for controlling the actuator. The electronic code transmitter is formed by a transponder (26) and the electronic code evaluator by a transponder reading device (16, 17). A power supply device (24) is disposed in the cylinder housing (1). The blocking element (23) engages in at least one recess (42, 43) disposed on the periphery of the cylinder core (4) spaced from the key channel (10, 11) in the axial area of the cylinder core (4) which is provided with the mechanical tumblers (49, 50, 51).

Abstract: An electronic music signal generator digitally stores amplitude values representing a complex wave in a number of different memories. By reading out the stored values, under control of a clock circuit, and superimposing them in various ways various effects such as decay can be produced to achieve either single toned or multi-toned sounds closely simulating the sound impression created by mechanical musical instruments.
