Abstract: A wireless lock assembly includes a latch assembly that includes a wireless, electrically operated latching component, and a manually movable latching component. The wireless, electrically operated latching component is movable between activated and inactivated positions. The electrically operated latching component will remain in the activated position for a predetermined period of time, after which it will return to the inactivated position. The lock assembly also includes a handle assembly that is manually movable from a non-enabled position into an enabled position when the electrically operated latching component is moved to its activated position. When the handle assembly is in its enabled position, it can be manually moved so as to move the manually movable latching component from a locking condition to a releasing condition. The handle assembly can be manually moved from its non-enabled position to its enabled position by manual engagement and depression of an exposed surface portion thereof.

Abstract: A compact, reliable motorized oven door latch assembly utilizes a latch that pivotally connects to a motor at an axis that is offset from the motor's axis. The latch includes a latch guide that is guided by a slot in a housing of the assembly. Rotation of the motor moves the latch between open and closed positions. A cam rotationally engages the motor and includes axially disposed cam surfaces that interact with side-by-side switches to sense when the latch is open and closed. The assembly includes a reusable release/service feature that allows the latch to be opened without operation of the motor if the latch becomes stuck in the closed position. The service feature includes a resiliently deformable flange that defines part of the guide surface.

Abstract: A geometric-shaped core (12) for a golf ball (10) has a plurality of outwardly extending projections (14) formed on a spherical central portion thereof. A layer (22) of a relatively less resilient material is applied in the interstitial space between the projections (14) on the surface of the core (12), and a cover (24) is applied over the core (12) and interstitial layer (22). The geometric-shaped core (12) is manufactured by first providing flexible, resilient, honeycombed inserts (42) to be used in a conventional compression mold (30). The inserts (42) are placed into the upper and lower mold cavities (30), the core material (40) is added, and the geometric-shaped golf ball core (12) is compression molded.
