Method and apparatus for radio frequency security system with automatic learning

A security system for control access of multiple users to a selected area combines rotating electronic security code or equivalent technology with an automatic self-learning receiver. The first transmitter is “learned” by the receiver manually, but subsequent transmitters are learned without the need for actuating the conventional “manual learn” mode of the receiver. Instead, by simply sending the transmit signal twice within a fixed time period, users of the subsequent transmitters use “self-learning” circuitry (interposed between conventional transmitter and receiver technology) in a way that is relatively transparent to the user. Other aspects of conventional systems are provided, such as separate control via computer or otherwise of an authorized list of uniquely-identified transmitters. In alternative embodiments, even the first transmitter / controller can be programmed into the receiver (such as at the time of manufacturing or installing the system).

Safety restraint buckle three-state tongue sensor

A safety restraint buckle apparatus and method wherein a Hall element is mounted with respect to a housing and a magnet is mounted with respect to the housing, at a distance from the Hall element. A latch is movably mounted between a latched position and an unlatched position. A tongue is movable between an engaged position within the housing and a disengaged position. In the engaged position of the tongue, the latch is in the latched position. An ejector with a pole piece or a pole member is movably mounted between a loaded position and an unloaded position. When the ejector is in the unloaded position, the Hall element operates in a high magnetic state. When the ejector is in the loaded position and the tongue is in the engaged position, the Hall element operates in a low magnetic state because the magnetic flux density is shunted through the tongue. When the latch is in the latched position and the tongue is in the disengaged position with the ejector thus held in an intermediate position, the Hall element operates in a mid magnetic state, between the low magnetic state and the high magnetic state, to indicate a false positive latch condition of the safety restraint buckle apparatus.

In a security cover, or system, for a fastener both (1) a step washer, and (2) a hollow cylinder rotating to the contained step washer, are affixed to a surface by a nut, or by a bolt head, that is to be protected from tampering. A (3) hollow cap fits loosely over the bolt head or nut, and is either (A) compressively forced upon the step washer, the cap being within cylinder that is then rotatable relative to the cap, step washer and nut or bolt head; or else (B) compressively forced into the hollow of the cylinder, therein to rotate together with the cylinder relative to the step washer and nut or bolt head. The (3) hollow cap may also be fit compressively over, as opposed to within, the cylinder. No matter to which component the cap fits compressively, and whether mounted to the interior or exterior of the cylinder, the outermost structure—normally the cylinder—(A) rotates freely to the bolt head or nut contained therein, (B) is, by action of the lock washer, highly resistant to becoming compressed so as to gain purchase on the enclosed bolt head or nut for malicious loosening and tampering, and (C) is, by its compression fit, highly resistant to removal. An optional (4) ring can be fit between the cap and the cylinder and into complimentary circumferential grooves on each. The rotating incompressible cover in three, or in four, parts provides permanent, unremovable, security to a bolt head, or a nut, from tampering.
