  • Publication number: 20240144757
    Abstract: A keyless puck lock apparatus with wireless communications and power interfaces. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a keyless puck lock system enabling a low cost and high security solution that is difficult to tamper with and defeat. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system uses a keyless puck lock assembly that includes a hasp assembly and a keyless lock mechanism that does not require any physical mechanical keys so that it does not have a mechanical cylinder inserted therein to lock or unlock the puck lock. Accordingly, the keyless puck lock system in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention does not have a physical keyway which is a security attack point that is included in conventional hockey puck-type locks.

  • 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.

  • 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.
