Patent number: 11334234Abstract: A system and method for identifying objects possessing minute but significant details is described. At its core, the system includes a user interface, means for comparatively identifying the object and means for displaying results. Notably, because the system does not rely upon highly specialized or complex equipment, the invention is expected to have particular applicability in a wide variety of every-day situations. Moreover, the system is explicitly designed for user friendliness, so as to eliminate that need for extensive training for any prospective user of the system. The system should have particular applicability in key blank identification and key duplication processes.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: HY-KO PRODUCTS COMPANY LLCInventors: Michael A. Bass, Richard W. Ryai, Michael B. Hanish, Chester O. D. Thompson, William R. Mutch, David E. Shaner, Joseph M. Work

Publication number: 20220018157Abstract: Some of the inventive concepts described herein include a data key having a computer readable medium containing information indicative of a bitting pattern for a master key. The bitting pattern on the data key may be downloadable to a key cutting device to cut a duplicate key that has the same bitting pattern as the master key. In addition, a method of creating a data key is also provided herein. The method includes identifying a type of key; identifying a bitting pattern; and storing the type of key blank required and bitting pattern to be cut in the key blank on a computer readable medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Michael A.
