Publication number: 20100180648Abstract: A security attachment for engagement in a security slot (1100) in the casing of a laptop computer or the like provides a body (1) with a rotatable lock (10) and a projecting tongue (20) which is axially retractable into a flat sided, rotatable outer casing (2). A pair of spring steel strips (40, 50; 100, 110) are slidably mounted in an elongate cavity (22) in the tongue. The tongue is inserted into the security slot by pushing the lock into the casing, and then locked in place by rotating the lock so as to advance the strips axially through the security slot within the tongue. The distal ends (42, 52; 102, 112) of the strips are deflected progressively outwardly via lateral apertures (23, 24) at the distal end (27) of the tongue by sliding engagement with a wedge (28, 29) formed at the distal end of the tongue so that they engage the laptop casing at the periphery of the aperture at an oblique angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2008Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventor: Stefan Knox

Publication number: 20100180649Abstract: A self-powered electronic lock is provided having a housing, a lock element mounted in the housing for movement relative to the housing between a locked position and an unlocked position, a code input device operating with a first set of electronics, and an electric actuator operating with a second set of electronics. The electric actuator is operatively coupled with the lock element to allow movement of the lock element from the locked position to the unlocked position. A first electric power generator is operative by a user to supply electrical power for operating the code input device and the first set of electronics. A second electric power generator is operative to supply electrical power for operating the electric actuator and the second set of electronics. The first and the second set of electronics are electrically isolated and are synchronized to generate a common number for a combination code.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2009Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventor: Michael P.

Publication number: 20100180650Abstract: An anti-theft lock includes a cylinder having multiple upper pin holes and a core is rotatably received in the cylindrical recess and has multiple lower pin holes which communicate with the upper pin holes. Each lower pin hole includes a shoulder located close to the wall of the core. A lower pin, an upper pin, a spring and a cap are installed into the aligned lower pin hole and upper pin hole in sequence. A special lower pin, a special upper pin, one of the springs and one of the caps are received in one of the aligned upper pin hole and lower pin hole. The special upper pin includes ridges rested on the shoulder of the lower pin hole and a gap is defined between the special upper pin and the special lower pin.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2009Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventor: Tien-Kao Liu

Publication number: 20100180651Abstract: A lock device comprises a cylinder housing (10) with a cavity (12) and a substantially cylindrical cylinder core (20), which is rotatably accommodated in the cavity. A tailpiece (50) arranged to cooperate with a lock mechanism. An adapter (40) is rotatably accommodated in the cavity in the cylinder housing and axially connected to the tailpiece First means for interconnecting the adapter and the cylinder core are arranged to allow mutual and free independent rotation of the core and adapter in a locked operational mode and to prevent mutual rotation in an unlocked operational mode. Second means for interconnecting the adapter and the core are arranged to fix the cylinder core against axial displacement relative to the cylinder house in both operational modes for the first means.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2008Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventor: Daniel Andersson

Publication number: 20100180654Abstract: A cold roll forming mill for the manufacture of hollow flange seam welded beams from a single strip of metal comprises a forming station (1), a seam guide and welding station (2) and a shaping station (3). Either or both of the forming and shaping stations (1,3) comprise independently supported side engaging roll combinations (7,12) adapted, in use, to roll either or both of opposite sides of the strip. Adjacent transverse pairs of side engaging roll (7,12) combinations are selectively movable relative to each other in a transverse direction perpendicular to a direction of travel of said strip through said mill. At least some of the side engaging roll combinations (7,12) are driven. Drive rolls (6) spaced within the forming and shaping stations (1,3) engage the strip between opposite edges thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2010Publication date: July 22, 2010Applicant: SMORGON STEEL LITESTEEL PRODUCTS PTY LTDInventors: Ross John Bartlett, Alexander Noller

Publication number: 20100180656Abstract: A rolling technique for manufacturing magnesium alloy sheets with high plasticity which is characterized in that by heating the rolls during rolling to ensure an unconventional decreasing temperature field from the surface to the center within the rolled material. Due to the poor plasticity and formability of magnesium and magnesium alloys, the use of their sheet products are currently limited, in particular, in high performance applications. To solve this problem, improving on the plasticity and formability of magnesium and magnesium alloy sheets is urgently needed. The present invention presents a rolling technique to manufacture magnesium and magnesium alloy sheets with high plasticity. The said rolling method is featured by heating the rolls during rolling to ensure an unconventional decreasing temperature field from the billet surface to its center, and to make the roll temperature to match with the initial temperature field of the billet material.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2008Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventor: Erde Wang
