  • Patent number: 11810434
    Abstract: A smart sensor early warning notification system. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for a smart sensor early warning notification system comprising a smart sensor coupled to a door and configured to detect one or more unauthorized access events, including sawing, blunt force and other atypical vibrations to the door. A smart sensor may be communicably engaged with a local alarm to communicate sensor data received at the smart sensor. The local alarm may be configured to process the sensor data received from the smart sensor and trigger an alarm event and/or notification or pre-event detection alert in response to the sensor data. A door controller may be configured to send different pulses or messages to indicate the type of alarm event to an alarm management server and/or access control servers via public/private cloud.

  • Publication number: 20230334926
    Abstract: A wireless lockout-tagout state machine-based access control system and method. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an electronic access control system that utilizes state machine-based single or multiple access codes to enable context-dependent or context-specific user-access permissions for different access points within an access-controlled area. Each state in the state machine may comprise an access event and a first state can lead to one or more subsequent different states, which may enable a feedback loop back to a past state to ensure a sequence of access events. In certain embodiments, the sequence of access events may be configured to ensure one or more safety protocols or parameters.

  • Publication number: 20230326269
    Abstract: A multi-mode electronic access control (EAC) system and method. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an EAC system operable to configure one or more operational modes comprising different levels of security, uses and software capabilities for one or more EAC devices deployed within an access-controlled site. The one or more operational modes may be associated with different user roles, functions and security parameters and may be configured and effected according to one or more phases in an EAC implementation process. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure enable one or more dynamic modes for one or more EAC devices according to one or more user-generated inputs and/or one or more mode parameters or conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230326271
    Abstract: An electronic access control system comprising an electronic access control device that is communicably engaged with a local or remote alarm system via a networked communications interface. In accordance with certain embodiments, the electronic access control device may be operably engaged with the local or remote alarm system to send and receive one or more communication and execute one or more operations to (1) authenticate/authorize an access request from an authorized user, (2) suppress/disable a door intrusion alarm and (3) actuate the electronic access control device to unlock a door. In accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure, the electronic access control system may be communicably engaged with one or more remote server, back-end data system, remote alarm system and/or electronic access control system to enable/enforce the interface between the electronic access control device and the local or remote alarm system.

  • Patent number: 11780105
    Abstract: A razor handle. The razor handle can have a main body and a pivoting head pivotally coupled with the main body about a first axis of rotation. A severable benefit delivery member can extend from a main body connection on the main body to a pivoting head connection on the pivoting head, the benefit delivery member providing a first biasing torque on the pivoting head to affect an angular deflection about the first axis of rotation of the pivoting head relative to the main body. A spring member can extend from a spring-main-body connection on the main body to a spring-pivoting-head connection on the pivoting head, the spring member applying a second biasing torque to affect an angular deflection about the first axis of rotation of the pivoting head relative to the main body.

  • Patent number: 11749039
    Abstract: An integrated arc flash safety system and methods for remote access control and safety compliance. An electronic access control system may comprise an enclosure having a door, a door lock device, an electronic access control unit, and an arc sensor. The access controller comprises electronic hardware and software for sensor/detection operation, door lock device operation, door lock actuation, and wireless remote communication. The door lock device may be controlled by the access controller in combination with the arc sensor. The access controller may facilitate remote access control via a smart mobile computing device (e.g., mobile phone) and telecommunication with a remote cloud server via a communication network (e.g., Internet). Embodiments of the present disclosure enable rapid detection of an arc flash precondition or event within an enclosure and warning generation as well as protection and standard compliance measures to improve technician safety.

  • Publication number: 20230130876
    Abstract: A mesh networked site process management system and method that provides for enforcement of a predefined access methodology by utilizing mesh networking through all possible touchpoints within a site perimeter and compound. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure comprise various computerized components communicably connected via a highly secured mesh network, in which only approved devices are able to participate on a machine-to-machine basis. The network may allow each device to coordinate its activity state with all other devices in the network. If a user desires to interact with one or more devices in the network, then the user must follow agreed upon process steps in order to do so. The user interacts with each network authorized device via a separate communication outside of the highly secured mesh network in order to transfer data to and from each network authorized device for the purposes of electronic access control.
