A locking mechanism for a bored lock has a lock chassis, a locking element, a motor housing, a reversible electric motor, an auger, and a spiral lock spring disposed between the locking element and the motor. The motor may drive the auger in a first or second rotational direction to move the spring towards/away from the motor to reduce/increase spring force on the locking element, thereby moving the locking element to an unlocked/locked position. One of the locking element and motor housing has a projection while the other has a guideway for slideably receiving the projection. The guideway prevents rotation of the locking element with respect to the motor as it moves between locked and unlocked positions. The projection and guideway are interlocked to prevent disassembly of the locking element and motor housing.
A lock having a latch assembly with a bolt head freely movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The latch assembly also includes lock pin that is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, which may be moveable by a motor and/or biasing mechanism.

When the lock pin is in the locked position, the lock pin engages the keeper to hold the keeper in the latched position, and thus the bolt head in the extended position in the strike housing. The lock also includes an access control system for controlling the motor of the lock.

In one embodiment, one or more capacitors are discharged to power one or more electrical loads of a door lock and then charged by one or more associated power sources. During this type of operation, a voltage of the one or more capacitors may cyclically vary between a first voltage threshold and a second voltage threshold. Methods related to estimating an amount of energy provided to the one or more capacitors using time measurements are also described.
A lock includes an electrically powered locking mechanism operable between locked and unlocked positions, a power supply, and a controller for operating the locking mechanism between locked and unlocked positions. The controller regulates the amount of electric power supplied to the electrically powered locking mechanism and determines temperature in the vicinity of the locking mechanism, and is capable of supplying first and second levels of electric power to the electrically powered locking mechanism in accordance with the temperature in the vicinity of the locking mechanism. If the temperature in the vicinity of the locking mechanism is within a predetermined temperature range, a first level of electric power is supplied to the electrically powered locking mechanism to operate between locked and unlocked positions. If the temperature is below the predetermined temperature range, a second, lower level of electric power is supplied to the electrically powered locking mechanism.

A locking mechanism for a bored lock has a lock chassis, a locking element, a motor housing, a reversible electric motor, an auger, and a spiral lock spring disposed between the locking element and the motor. The motor may drive the auger in a first or second rotational direction to move the spring towards/away from the motor to reduce/increase spring force on the locking element, thereby moving the locking element to an unlocked/locked position. One of the locking element and motor housing has a projection while the other has a guideway for slideably receiving the projection. The guideway prevents rotation of the locking element with respect to the motor as it moves between locked and unlocked positions. The projection and guideway are interlocked to prevent disassembly of the locking element and motor housing.

Systems and methods for controlling access through a door are provided. Certain of the systems and methods described herein include a detection sensor that detects the proximity or contact by a user to a door handle or other portion of a door. According to one aspect, upon detection of such proximity or contact, a reader is controlled to change from a low power mode to an operational mode to read a credential. According to another aspect, upon detection of such proximity or contact, an access notification system generates a perceptible signal inside the access-controlled location that a user is at the door.

MEASURING HARVESTED ENERGY USING AN ULTRA-LOW DUTY CYCLE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
A system and method for measuring harvested energy for use in an access control system. A capacitive storage device is charged to a voltage high threshold, where the storage device stores energy harvested from at least one sensor and is coupled to an energy harvesting manager adapted for managing the amount of energy received by the at least one sensor, and then a reference load is applied until the capacitive storage device discharges to a predetermined voltage value. A time constant defined as the time required for the capacitive storage device to discharge to the predetermined voltage value is compared to the reference load to determine an exact or near exact capacitance of the storage device, before discharging the storage device to a voltage low threshold and determining an amount of energy used per charge unloaded by comparing the voltage high threshold and the voltage low threshold.
A method for measuring energy harvested from at least one energy source for use in an access control system, comprising providing an access control device adapted to be at least partially powered by energy harvested from at least one energy source; providing at least one sensor receiving energy from the at least one energy source; providing an energy harvesting manager coupled to the at least one sensor; providing a capacitive storage device coupled to the energy harvesting manager; charging the capacitive storage device to a voltage high threshold, V-HTH; applying a reference load to the capacitive storage device until the capacitive storage device discharges to a predetermined voltage value; determining a time constant; and determining an exact or near exact capacitance of the capacitive storage device by comparing the time constant to the reference load predetermined value.
