An electromechanical lock and its operation method is disclosed. The method includes: reading data from an external source; matching the data against a predetermined criterion; providing a fulcrum provided that the data matches the predetermined criterion; holding the lock by a locking pin, when engaged, in a locked state, and, when disengaged, in a mechanically openable state; and if the fulcrum is provided, levering mechanical power with the fulcrum to the locking pin to mechanically disengage the locking pin.

Electromechanical lock

Electromechanical lock and its operation method are provided. The lock includes a threshold device configured to control the power transmission mechanism so that the amount of the received mechanical power in the form of the electric power is sufficient for powering the electronic circuit and the actuator, and so that a normal operation of the electromechanical lock, including an insertion of the key into the electromechanical lock, is sufficient for power the electronic circuit and the actuator.

Electromechanical lock and its operation method using mechanical power from normal operation for setting electromechanical lock in a mechanically openable state

An electromechanical lock, its key, and its operation method are disclosed. The method includes: during a first and a second insertion phases of a key, conveying mechanical power to an electric generator by a key follower and enabling mechanically operation of an actuator by the key follower; generating electric power from mechanical power by the electric generator; reading data from an external source; matching the data against a predetermined criterion; and during a removal phase of the key, returning the key follower to a starting position and mechanically resetting the actuator to the locked state.

Electromechanical lock and its operation method. The lock includes a power transmission mechanism to receive mechanical power produced by a user of the lock; a generator to produce electric power from the mechanical power; an electronic circuit, powered by the electric power, coupleable with a key, to read data from the key, and to issue an open command provided that the data matches a predetermined criterion; an actuator, powered by the electric power, to receive the open command, and to set the lock in a mechanically openable state; and a threshold device to control the power transmission mechanism so that a mechanical tension rises until a predetermined force threshold is exceeded, whereupon the mechanical tension transforms to an action producing the mechanical power received by the power transmission mechanism.

A surface () is detected repeatedly be a detector row () of at least one detector (), the direction of the detector row () being the same as the surface's () primary direction of movement, and simultaneously a distance between the surface () and the detector () is detected to produce enlargement data and response rows. Successive response rows are arranged into a response matrix, and the direction of at least one curve in the matrix is determined. Translation of the surface () is determined in response matrices formed by means of the direction or directions of at least one curve or curve portion on the basis of enlargement data.

Three-dimensional measuring apparatus for scanning an object and a measurement head of a three-dimensional measuring apparatus and method of using the same

The invention relates to a method for positioning a container for measurement of wear in the container lining. The method comprises taking a reference picture by a camera means of a set of at least three reference marks mounted on the container, and performing reference measurement of the container lining with a measuring device emitting and receiving optical radiation. Later, in the actual measurement situation, a measurement picture is taken of the set of reference marks with the camera means, and the actual measurement of the wear in the container lining is performed with the measurement device emitting and receiving optical radiation. By comparing the measurement situation picture with the reference picture, correction factors are calculated, on the basis of which the actual measurement of the wear in the container lining and the previously made reference measurement of the container lining are combined so as to be represented in the same coordinate system.

The invention relates to a method for measuring wear in the lining of a container provided with a pivoted axle and an opening, and a container. Fixing of the coordinate systems (16, 17) of a measuring device (1) and the container (6) is performed by measuring the position of fixing points (P1, P2, P3) in the coordinate system (16) of the measuring device, whereafter the i0 lining (10) on the inner surface of the container (6) is measured. The fixing is performed by measuring the position of the fixing points (P1, P2, P3) mounted in connection with the container in the coordinate system (16) of the measuring device (1) in a situation where the opening of the container faces away from the measuring device while the measuring device is directed towards the container bottom. The container (6) is rotated around its pivoted axle (11) to a position in which the opening (9) of the container (6) faces the measuring device (1). The fixing is performed utilizing the angle difference between angle data (.alpha..sub.1) obtained during the measurement of the fixing points (P1, P2, P3) and angle data (.alpha..sub.2) obtained after the rotation of the container (6), said angle difference being obtained by angle measurement known per se, measuring the inclination of the container (6).
