  • Patent number: 12601213
    Abstract: An arrangement for closing an access member rotatable relative to a frame, the arrangement comprising a frame part for fixation to the frame; an access member part for fixation to the access member, the access member part being rotatable relative to the frame part about a hinge axis between a closed position and an open position; a mechanical force device configured to store mechanical energy from an opening movement of the access member part from the closed position to the open position, and configured to release the stored mechanical energy to a closing movement of the access member part from the open position to the closed position; an electromagnetic generator arranged to be driven by the closing movement to generate electric energy; and a freewheel arranged to disengage during the opening movement and to engage during the closing movement to drive the generator.

  • Patent number: 12321486
    Abstract: It is provided a method for providing data for training a machine learning model. The method is performed in a training data provider (1) and comprises the steps of: obtaining (40) a data structure comprising a chain of delegations, the chain of delegations covering a delegation path from a media capturing device (3) to the training data provider (1) such that, in the chain of delegations, each delegation is a delegation from a delegator to a receiver; sending (42) a key request to a delegation verifier (2), the key request comprising the data structure; receiving (44) a decryption key from the delegation verifier (2); obtaining (46) encrypted media data captured by the media capturing device (3); decrypting (48) the encrypted media data, resulting in decrypted media data; and providing (50) the decrypted media data for training the machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 12188290
    Abstract: An arrangement (16) for controlling movements of an access member (12) relative to a frame (14), the arrangement (16) comprising abase section (18) for connection to either the access member (12) or the frame (14); a fixation part (20) for connection to the other of the access member (12) and the frame (14); a flexible elongated element (22) configured to be tensioned to thereby force the base section (18) and the fixation part (20) to move towards each other in a relative closing movement (86); and a braking device (82) arranged to brake a speed of the relative closing movement (86).

  • Patent number: 11466499
    Abstract: A manipulator for controlling a locking function and a maneuvering function of an access member rotatably coupled to a frame is disclosed. The manipulator includes an actuator configured to provide a substantially linear first actuating movement in a first direction and a substantially linear second actuating movement in a second direction, opposite to the first direction; a latch bolt functionally coupled to the actuator, the latch bolt arranged to move to an unlocking position in response to movement of the actuator in the first direction and arranged to move to a locking position in response to movement of the actuator in the second direction; and a transmission mechanism functionally coupled to the actuator, the transmission mechanism configured to transmit the first actuating movement in the first direction provided by the actuator to an opening movement of the access member. An access member, a system and a method are also provided.
