Patent number: 10311265Abstract: A universal mounting ring has an arcuate or curved upper portion and a plurality of downwardly depending tabs. The universal mounting ring is configured to interface with an electrical enclosure, such as conventional electrical junction boxes to permit a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader to be secured within the enclosure and mate with a wide variety of enclosure cover assemblies manufactured by third parties. The downwardly depending mounting tabs are provided with multiple mounting positions such that the reader may be securely mounted at a plurality of positions relative to a cover assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventors: Toby Mark Padilla, Randall Dennis Bousfield

Patent number: 9990485Abstract: An anti-passback algorithm for an access control system is described. The anti-passback algorithm prevents the use of valid credentials to gain access to an access-controlled area by more than one person within a given period of time. The algorithm is capable of distinguishing between credentials intentionally presented to the access control system and credentials that are unintentionally read by the access control system. Certain variables may be set by the access control system manufacturer or a trusted individual to adapt the algorithm for applications.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2015Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventors: Toby Mark Padilla, David Edward Andresky, Bryan Stephen Holloway, Kieran Wingfield, Michael Margraf

Patent number: 9917028Abstract: A temperature-controlled integrated circuit configured with a secure data processing element, and method of manufacture of same, is disclosed. Specifically, the temperature-controlled integrated circuit, comprising a secure data processing element operable within a nominal operating range, is configured with a heat-transfer element which allows the secure data processing element to operate in an extended operating range.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2012Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventors: Toby Mark Padilla, Martin Verwiebe, Ryan Neal Milbrandt, Randall Dennis Bousfield

Patent number: 9767328Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an RFID system that can be tuned dynamically and/or in real-time during a coupling event between a reader and a transponder. The reader can comprise an antenna assembly, a signal driver, and a controller. The antenna assembly may include a tuning circuit and an antenna coupled to the tuning circuit. The tuning circuit can include registers that may be set to adjust one or more characteristics of the reader. A controller is coupled to the antenna assembly to determine characteristics of the received signal and to set hardware or firmware functions that improve the coupling of the reader and transponder and/or improve the reception of the signal(s) from the transponder.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventors: Toby Mark Padilla, Ryan Milbrandt, Bryan Stephen Holloway, Geoffrey Edwards

Patent number: 9734366Abstract: Readers are associated with a number of access credentials and, once authenticated by the reader, may grant the holder of the access credential access to a secured asset. Readers may become the target of attack, such as when an unauthorized party attempts to gain access to the interior of the reader or removes the reader from an installed location. Once removed the reader may be reinstalled in another location or a counterfeit reader used in its place. By providing a paired tamper credential, the reader may deny otherwise authorized access to the secured asset if the tamper credential fails to respond appropriately. The tamper credential may fail to respond due to distance, such as when the reader alone is relocated, or the tamper credential is damaged, such as during an attempt to gain access the interior of the reader and/or remove the reader from its installed location.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventors: Randall Dennis Bousfield, Sylvain Jacques Prevost, Michael Lawrence Davis, David Edward Andresky, Toby Mark Padilla
