20140072728 | WIRE AND CABLE EXTRUSION PROCESSES - An extrusion system includes a die and tip defining an extrusion cavity is described. The extrusion cavity is configured to receive material for extrusion and coating one or more wires. Furthermore, the die is configured to vibrate at an ultrasonic frequency during coating the one or more wires. | 03-13-2014 |
20140093640 | WIRE AND CABLE EXTRUSION PROCESSES - An extrusion system is described herein. The extrusion system includes a die and tip defining an extrusion cavity, the extrusion cavity configured to receive heated material for extrusion and coating one or more wires. Furthermore, an exit region of the die is configured to be cooled to a temperature less than that of the heated material during coating the one or more wires. | 04-03-2014 |
20150083490 | CABLE STRUCTURES WITH LOCALIZED FOAM STRAIN RELIEFS AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME - Cable structures with localized foam strain reliefs and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In some embodiments, at least one localized foam strain relief may be incorporated into or positioned underneath a cover of a cable structure. For example, the ratio of base material to foam material may be varied during the manufacture of the cover, such that distinct portions of the cover may include more foam than other portions of the cover. This may provide localized strain relief properties to the cable structure while also obviating the need for additional strain relief components to be provided adjacent to or over specific portions of the cover. | 03-26-2015 |
20150357083 | CABLE STRUCTURES WITH MULTI-MATERIAL EXTRUDED STRAIN RELIEFS AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME - Cable structures with multi-material extruded strain reliefs and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In some embodiments, a cable structure may include at least two materials simultaneously extruded through a die and about a conductor. A relationship between the two materials may be changed during the simultaneous extrusion for varying the stiffness of the cable structure, which may thereby provide a strain relief region to the cable structure. One of the two materials may be stiffer than another of the two materials, and the ratio of the amount or thickness of one of the two materials with respect to the amount or thickness of the other of the two materials may be varied during the extrusion process to vary the stiffness of the cable structure along its length for providing the strain relief region. | 12-10-2015 |

20080252415 | RESTRICTED RANGE LOCKBOX, ACCESS DEVICE AND METHODS - A lockbox includes a housing, a key storage area and a lockbox circuit. The key storage area is shaped to receive a stored key and is attached to or positioned within the housing. The key storage area is secured with a lock mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to the stored key. The lockbox circuit comprises a transceiver operable by a magnetically induced current generated by a closely positioned radio access device that can send and receive signals. The circuit is configured to unlock the key storage area upon determining that an access request is authorized to providing access to the stored key. Methods of operation are also disclosed. | 10-16-2008 |
20090153291 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATING ACCESS TO A LOCKBOX - A real estate security system is described wherein access to a lockbox, that houses a key, causes automatic notification to an owner/occupant associated with the property. Such a communication can be used to alert the owner/occupant that a real estate showing is started or completed, that a friend or family member arrived home safely, that a property management accessed the house, or that emergency personnel accessed the house. The lockbox can include additional features that cause notification to the owner, such as automated sensing of tampering with the lockbox, or depressing a button on the lockbox to generate a signal to the owner/occupant of the property. | 06-18-2009 |
20100176919 | ONE-TIME ACCESS FOR ELECTRONIC LOCKING DEVICES - Systems and methods for providing one-time access to electronic locking devices for non-keyholders. The one-time access rights are delivered from a server to the electronic locking device in real-time, or in near-real time, over short and long-range wireless communication links in a manner that is secure and traceable. A handheld device is coupled with the electronic locking device via the short-range communication link, and is coupled with the server via a long-range wireless communication link. | 07-15-2010 |
20120180123 | TRUSTED VENDOR ACCESS - A system is provided and facilitates management of a device by a first entity and management of a third entity by a second entity, wherein by way of the system access rights permitting access otherwise prevented by the device are assignable by the first entity to the second entity, the access rights are able to be administrated by the second entity to the third entity, and the access is obtainable by the third entity using a combination of the access rights and personal identification information to affect the device. | 07-12-2012 |
20150264037 | TRUSTED VENDOR ACCESS - A system is provided and facilitates management of a device by a first entity and management of a third entity by a second entity, wherein by way of the system access rights permitting access otherwise prevented by the device are assignable by the first entity to the second entity, the access rights are able to be administrated by the second entity to the third entity, and the access is obtainable by the third entity using a combination of the access rights and personal identification information to affect the device. | 09-17-2015 |
