Patent number: 10435927Abstract: Latch mechanisms adapted to prevent unauthorized displacement of a latch bolt from an extended, locked position to a retracted, unlocked position. The latch mechanisms prevent the failure of a latch bolt of one latch mechanism to return to an extended lock position from interfering with the ability of a latch bolt of an inter-related latch mechanism from being able to return to an extended, locked position. Further embodiments provide a mounting bracket mounted to a door to allow the associated latch mechanism to be indirectly secured to the door. Additionally, the mounting bracket may have a plurality of mounting orifices that allow the mounting bracket to be used with a wide range of latch mechanisms, as well as provide adjustable attachment of the latch mechanism to the mounting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Paul Raymond Arlinghaus, Mohammed Maksood Ali, Jonah M.

Patent number: 9473438Abstract: A system for analyzing email for compliance with a set of rules, including enhanced email devices configured to determine whether an email message probably conforms or does not conform to the rules. If the email message is determined to probably not conform to the rules, designate the email message to be a probable non-conforming email (NCE), and electronically transmit a reporting message to a server containing a copy of the probable NCE, user-identifying information, and reasons for probable non-conformance. The server is configured to receive the reporting messages and, for each probable NCE, calculate a digital signature of the probable NCE. If the probable NCE is not stored in the NCE database, the server stores the probable NCE and the signature in the NCE database along with the user-identifying information and the reasons for non-conformance. Otherwise, it adds the user-identifying information and the non-conformance reasons record in the NCE database.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: OTC SYSTEMS LTD.Inventors: Timothy Scott Graham, Christopher R.
