Abstract: A ball-latch mechanism comprising a plunger supported in a housing and linearly movable from a loaded to an extended position, a trigger rotatable from a latched position, which interferes with linear movement of the plunger, to an unlatched position, which permits linear movement of the plunger from the loaded position, a bias element biasing the plunger from the loaded position, a cocking mechanism comprising a lever arm rotatable about a lever axis from a retracted position within the housing, wherein a bearing surface of the lever arm is outside of a range of motion of the plunger, and a cocked position, wherein the bearing surface of the lever arm bears against the plunger and the plunger is in the loaded position, whereby the plunger may be forced to the loaded position by the lever arm by application of torque to a torque receiving surface of the lever arm.

Abstract: The use of mobile devices which are capable of communicating using uncontrolled networks (e.g., cellular networks) can be managed using multi-band access points and multi-band controllers which can monitor and apply policies to data sent over the uncontrolled networks. Technology for applying policies to data sent over uncontrolled networks can be deployed in a variety of configurations, including configurations where the application of policies is performed using functionality built into a multi-band access point, rather than a separate multi-band controller. These configurations also include configurations which use access points and/or controllers which are specifically designed for uncontrolled networks (e.g., cellular access points). Applications of this technology can be made in a wide variety of contexts, including corporate, military and law enforcement contexts.
