Publication number: 20240060808Abstract: The invention is a water meter reading device having a piston (503) or a membrane (527) that moves with the pressure changes of the water pipe (301, 501, 601) network. The movement charges a capacitor (704) with electric energy released for reading the water meter. This makes it possible to realise the system without a battery, as the electricity needed for reading the water meter, and communicating the water meter reading to the water company, is used at the same moment that the electricity is generated. This also has the consequence that the water meter readings occur at the same time as the pressure changes in the water pipe (301, 501, 601) network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventor: Mika PUKARI

Publication number: 20220327877Abstract: The invention relates to methods and systems where a mobile phone is used to open doors of buildings and vehicles instead of a dedicated physical key. In the invention, the mobile station is configured to provide the operating power to the lock without a power chord. A mobile station app is then configured to communicate with the lock via a short-range wireless communication connection, and open and close the lock. The object of the invention is to provide an electronic software-based key and lock system that is cheaper and easier to use than the physical key.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2020Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventor: Mika PUKARI

Patent number: 11164407Abstract: A method and a tag for opening a powerless electromechanical lock are provided. The tag comprises a power source, a near field communication transceiver, an antenna connected to the transceiver, an proximity switch and a controller. The switch is configured to wake up the controller from a low power mode upon a detection of a predetermined signal. The controller is configured after the wake up to activate the near field communication transceiver and control the transceiver to transmit via the antenna wirelessly first operating power to the lock for communication and authentication, perform authentication with the lock and, provided that the authentication is successful, control the transceiver to transmit wirelessly second operating power to the lock for the lock to be set into an openable state.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2017Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: ILOQ OYInventors: Väinö Tikkanen, Janne Heusala, Mika Pukari
