Abstract: A lock system includes a cylindrical door lock having a latching spindle and an opening spindle which are concentrically oriented, and a wireless communication system to transmit signals indicating the relative positions of the latching spindle and the opening spindle. A door lock assembly can include a lock mechanism for placing the lock assembly into an unlocked state or a locked state, an electrically controlled actuator assembly to control the lock mechanism, a transceiver coupled to the actuator assembly, and a communication device to communicate over a two-way wireless network with the electrically controlled actuator. A retrofit actuator assembly adapted to be mounted on an existing lock to control a locking mechanism of the lock, and a two-way communication device to control the retrofit actuator assembly and to receive signals from the retrofit actuator assembly indicating a state of the locking mechanism.

Abstract: Portable accelerometer coupled to a processor and wireless transceiver providing remote monitoring of sensed acceleration. A BLUETOOTH®-compatible transceiver allows bi-directional communication including transmission of operating parameters and programming as well arm and cancel commands. Networked communications allows remote monitoring and integration with public safety answering point (PSAP). Signal processing at the portable device discerns includes comparison of sensed acceleration with stored profile.

Abstract: Management of location information communicated using wireless devices and communication networks. Authorization to access location information may be granted implicitly, explicitly or in light of predetermined circumstances. Location information and navigation tools can be used to find, or avoid, a particular location. Location information may be generated by a mobile device-based section, by a communication network-based section or by a combination of device-based and network-based sections. Location information may be integrated with emergency response facilities to provide police, fire or medical assistance.
