  • Patent number: 11936786
    Abstract: Provided is novel technology for secure security data transmission and more particularly for registering network-enabled security devices such as IP cameras to a security server over a public network such as to a cloud-based security service. An enrolment server is provided that is logged into using a computing device to request and receive an activation code for the security device. The activation code is then provided to the security device, e.g. directly by the computing device. The Security device authenticates itself based on the activation code and in one example provides a public key that will be used to verify its registration. Data transmissions by the device are secured in part on the basis of its registration.

  • Patent number: 9175717
    Abstract: The safety carabiner includes a body including a central portion extended at the ends thereof by a first hook-shaped branch provided with a retaining portion and a second branch, respectively, the first branch having a retaining portion, and a closing finger pivotably mounted on the second branch of the body around a pivot axis, between closed and open positions of the carabiner; where retaining portion includes a slender end portion that is generally tapered seen from the side and the retaining portion is configured so that, when the carabiner extends substantially perpendicular to said flat support, and the first and second branches of the carabiner are bearing on said flat support, the free end of the end portion forms the bearing zone of the first branch on said flat support.

  • Patent number: 8955203
    Abstract: The carabiner includes a body delimiting a basic frame, a closing finger pivotably mounted on the body between closed and open positions of the basic frame, locking means movably mounted on the closing finger between locked and unlocked positions of the closing finger, and actuating means arranged to move the locking means between the locked and unlocked positions thereof, where the actuating means include a handling member connected to the locking means and movably mounted on a portion of the carabiner body opposite the closing finger, between a first position in which the locking means are in the locked position and a second position in which the locking means are in the unlocked position, the handling member being arranged so that moving the latter between the first and second positions thereof causes the locking means to move between the locked and unlocked positions thereof.

  • Publication number: 20090320732
    Abstract: The invention relates to a braking device (4) for braking the boom of a sail boat, comprising a body (12) with fixation means (5) mainly to the boom or a control rope, and means for braking a main rope (6) having its ends connected or guided at two points on both sides of the central longitudinal axis of the sail boat, characterised in that the braking means include at least a first passage opening (14, 15, 16) formed in the body (12) for a loop (20) of the main rope (6), and a second opening (18) formed in the body (12), essentially parallel with the first opening (14, 15, 16) and inside which protrudes a member (19) for retaining the loop (20) that passes around it.

  • Patent number: 7621509
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for guiding the bolt rope of a sail. The inventive device (6) comprises two curved jaws (9, 10) which are fixed to one another around a pivot point (11). The first jaw (9) is equipped with an inward-facing extension (12) comprising a flat portion (13) and a recess (14). The second jaw comprises a U-shaped locking buckle which is mounted such that the ends thereof can pivot around a position of equilibrium. According to the invention, when the device is in the closed position, the middle portion of the buckle is engaged in the recess so that the jaws are held together and, when the device is in the open position, the middle portion of the buckle rests on the flat portion of the extension so that the jaws are kept at a distance from one another.
