Patent number: 8587405Abstract: An electronic access control device is disclosed comprising two microprocessors. The first microprocessor receives a wirelessly transmitted that is compared to a stored access code. If those two codes match, the first microprocessor transmits a special communication code to the second microprocessor. The second microprocessor opens the lock if the transmitted communication code matches a stored communication code.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2005Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: O.S. SecurityInventors: William D. Denison, Bradley S. Silvers, Lawrence Brownfield

Publication number: 20070164324Abstract: An electronic lock utilizes two microprocessors remote from each other for enhanced security. The first microprocessor is disposed close to an input device such as a keypad, and the second microprocessor is disposed close to the lock mechanism and well protected from external access. The first microprocessor transmits a communication code to the second microprocessor when it receives via the input device an access code that matches a preset access code. The second microprocessor opens the lock if the transmitted communication code matches a preset communication code. The dual-microprocessor arrangement is advantageously used in a voice controlled access control system and in a motorcycle ignition control system. The present invention further provides an electronic access control system which has a master electronic key having a preset number of access, and an electronic alarm system for a bicycle that has a remote control mounted in the helmet of the rider.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2007Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: William Denison, Lawrence Brownfield, Bradley Silvers

Publication number: 20070096866Abstract: A vending machine uses a field-programmable electronic lock that learns a key code from a corresponding electronic key. The electronic lock has a learning process activation device that is accessible when the door of the vending machine is in the open position. Using the learning process activation device, a service person activates the electronic lock to perform a key code learning operation, in which the electronic lock receives a key code transmitted from an electronic key and stores the key code in a non-volatile memory for future access control of the vending machine. Data encryption is employed in the communications between the key and the lock to ensure the security of the communications. A communication device installed in the vending machine for communicating with a home base computer allows the operation of the electronic lock to be remotely controlled for access control and auditing purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2006Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: William Denison, Bradley Silvers, Lawrence Brownfield

Patent number: 6052603Abstract: An interface between a portable cellular phone and an automobile radio to allow hands-free operation of the phone is housed in a remote housing connected to a battery eliminator cigarette lighter adapter plug for simple installation into an automobile. The interface converts incoming signals from the cellular phone from audio frequency to radio frequency and transmits the signals to the existing automobile radio receiver, wherein the signals are reproduced over the radio speakers. The interface may also be used with a power conversion system to increase the power of the phone transmissions. Further, the interface may be used with any external communication source, such as a facsimile machine or laptop computer and modem. The interface is also easily adapted for use with any stand-alone audio producing devices, such as a cassette deck or compact disc player.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1997Date of Patent: April 18, 2000Assignee: Mold-Tech Plastics Limited PartnershipInventors: Richard M.
