Abstract: A method of forming lock cylinder plug using metal injection molding includes injecting a material that has a metal component and a plastic component into a mold. The metal component of the material is at least partially steel. The method includes molding the material into a lock cylinder plug having a key way passage. The method includes debinding the lock cylinder plug and supporting a portion of the lock cylinder plug using at least one ceramic support before increasing the density of the lock cylinder plug by performing a sintering heating process. The method includes inspecting the lock cylinder by inserting a key way portion of a key way gauge into the key way passage of the lock cylinder plug. Inspecting also includes classifying the lock cylinder plug as acceptable, at least in part, if the key way portion of the key way gauge is insertable entirely within the key way passage.

Abstract: A handle assembly includes a removable handle positioned over a sleeve. The handle assembly includes a catch positioned within the sleeve, and when extended, the catch prevents relative movement between the handle and the sleeve. The handle assembly includes a spindle positioned within the sleeve. The spindle has a longitudinal axis. The spindle is rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. When in the locked position, the sleeve is not rotatable, and when in the unlocked position, the sleeve is rotatable. The handle assembly includes a support structure that is configured to support the spindle. The support structure is in a fixed rotational relationship with respect to the handle. When the catch is in an extended position and the spindle is in the locked position, deflection of the spindle in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis is resisted by way of the support structure.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system and method of generating a duty-cycle matched differential clock divider circuit. The duty-cycle matched differential clock divider circuit may include a primary latch, differential latch, and a first inverter. The primary latch may be coupled to receive a feedback signal and complementary input clock signals. The primary latch may be configured to produce a first output signal. The differential latch may be coupled to receive the first output signal produced by the primary latch and the complementary input clock signals. The differential latch may be configured to produce a second output signal and a third output signal. The first inverter may be coupled to receive the second output signal produced by the differential latch, and may be configured to produce the feedback signal applied to an input of the primary latch.

Abstract: A rekeyable lock cylinder with a cylinder body and a plug assembly. The lock cylinder includes a plurality of key followers and a corresponding plurality of racks disposed in the plug assembly. The lock cylinder includes, for example, a locking bar for blocking rotation of the plug assembly with respect to the cylinder body to prevent unlocking of the rekeyable lock cylinder with an unauthorized object. In some embodiments, the locking bar is configured such that torqueing the plug assembly with an unauthorized object applies force to the locking bar without translating such force to the plurality of racks. This type of arrangement enhances torque resistance of the lock cylinder against attempted forced entry.

Abstract: An adapter for either a handle set or a lever set door lever is equipped with a pair of springs to provide a pre-load on the spindle. The pre-load prevents sagging of the lever due to the large mass of the lever. A sleeve in the adapter is formed out of a compressible material that accepts the spindle in a press-fit configuration. This allows for greater manufacturing tolerances while still providing a solid and secure engagement between the spindle and the adapter. As a result, any free play in the lever is eliminated and the lever is maintained in a horizontal, home position when the lever is not in use. Following use through rotation of the lever, the springs promptly return the lever back to the home position while the sleeve prevents any slop or free-play in the lever's motion.

Abstract: A method of training a custom hotword model includes receiving a first set of training audio samples. The method also includes generating, using a speech embedding model configured to receive the first set of training audio samples as input, a corresponding hotword embedding representative of a custom hotword for each training audio sample of the first set of training audio samples. The speech embedding model is pre-trained on a different set of training audio samples with a greater number of training audio samples than the first set of training audio samples. The method further includes training the custom hotword model to detect a presence of the custom hotword in audio data. The custom hotword model is configured to receive, as input, each corresponding hotword embedding and to classify, as output, each corresponding hotword embedding as corresponding to the custom hotword.
