Abstract: A re-keyable lock provides a cylinder that may be removed from the cylinder housing when the cylinder is in the unlocked state allowing the lock to be re-keyed with a standard key. A blocking element may be removed by a user having access to the keyhole and otherwise serves to retain the cylinder in the cylinder housing during the unlocked state.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing global message monitoring in a paging system includes a message origination and delivery device (MODD) (20). The MODD (20) includes a data structure (100) which identifies certain users as message monitoring users. Message monitoring users receive monitored page messages (300), which are duplicates of pages sent to users being monitored. The MODD (20) sends pages to a pager in the possession of the message monitoring user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a verified message receipt in a messaging system (10) notifies users (30) when messaging system subscribers (40) retrieve messages (370). Verified message receipts can take the form of pages, faxes, automated call-backs or additional messages. In operation, when a user (30) leaves a message (370) for a messaging system subscriber (40), a verified message receipt flag (375) is raised and a user pager number (380) or user fax number (390), or user telephone number (395) is entered. A message origination and delivery device (20) includes many message boxes (300) for many subscribers (40). The message origination and delivery device (20) generates verified message receipts when subscribers (40) retrieve messages (370).

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for preventing theft or unauthorized use of motor vehicles. An auxiliary electrical switch is mounted on the housing of the ignition or starter key cylinder, and is connected to a fuse in the main electrical circuit. When the key cylinder is removed and the ignition or starter switch is shorted, this auxiliary switch causes the fuse to blow out and disable the electrical system in the vehicle. The ignition or starter switch actuates a relay, which in turn is connected to a valve mechanism in the fuel line and the ignition coil or starter through independent circuits. Actuation of the relay causes electrical power to be delivered to the fuel valve and ignition coil or starter. When the relay is de-actuated, the ignition coil is grounded, and the vehicle cannot be started with a jumper wire. A further switch is disclosed for disabling the relay.
