There are disclosed compounds of the following formula I or a stereoisomer or pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof, wherein all substituents are as defined herein, which are useful in the modulation of IL-12, IL-23 and/or IFN?, by acting on Tyk-2 to cause signal transduction inhibition. The compounds of the invention may be useful for treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases or disorders.

Substituted N(-methyl-D3)pyridazine-3-carboxamide or M-(methyl-D3)-nicotinamide compounds as IL-12, IL-23 and/or IFNα modulators

An adapter for either a handle set or a lever set door lever is equipped with a pair of springs to provide a pre-load on the spindle. The pre-load prevents sagging of the lever due to the large mass of the lever. A sleeve in the adapter is formed out of a compressible material that accepts the spindle in a press-fit configuration. This allows for greater manufacturing tolerances while still providing a solid and secure engagement between the spindle and the adapter. As a result, any free play in the lever is eliminated and the lever is maintained in a horizontal, home position when the lever is not in use. Following use through rotation of the lever, the springs promptly return the lever back to the home position while the sleeve prevents any slop or free-play in the lever's motion.

Door handle adapter for sprung hub

An electronic lock with a latch assembly, an interior assembly, and an exterior assembly. The latch assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The assembly includes an internal spring actuating mechanism. The assembly also includes a touch keypad subassembly configured to detect touches to at least a portion of its surface.

Locking assembly with spring mechanism

A privacy lock assembly and method of operation are provided. The lock assembly has a push button offset from the central axis of the lock assembly for locking and unlocking the assembly. The lock assembly includes compression springs to maintain integrated handles in predetermined orientations when the handles are not subject to a load.

Privacy lock

A spring assembly for a handle set assembly includes a housing and a gear rotatably positioned within the housing. The gear has a default position and at least one actuated rotated position. The spring assembly includes at least one rack positioned within the housing. The at least one rack is movable in a rack displacement direction that is normal to the axis of rotation of the gear in response to rotation of the gear between a neutral position and a displaced position. The spring assembly includes a slider positioned at a first end of the at least one rack, the slider being slidable along the rack displacement direction. The spring assembly includes at least one spring captured between the housing and slider. The at least one spring is positioned to apply a spring force to the at least one rack toward the neutral position when the at least one rack is in the displaced position.

Handle set engagement cartridge

An electronic lock includes a latch assembly that includes a bolt that is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The electronic lock includes a keypad for receiving a keypad input event. The electronic lock includes a processing unit being configured to control the movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position responsive to receiving a valid keypad input event. The processing unit is configured to capture the keypad input event. Based at least in part on a characteristic of the keypad input event, the processing unit indicates if a tampering event exists. The characteristic includes at least one of an input location on the keypad, an input duration on the keypad, and an input timestamp.

Tamper alarm for electronic lock

A rekeyable lock cylinder with a cylinder body and a plug assembly. The lock cylinder includes a plurality of key followers and a corresponding plurality of racks disposed in the plug assembly. The lock cylinder includes, for example, a locking bar for blocking rotation of the plug assembly with respect to the cylinder body to prevent unlocking of the rekeyable lock cylinder with an unauthorized object. In some embodiments, the locking bar is configured such that torqueing the plug assembly with an unauthorized object applies force to the locking bar without translating such force to the plurality of racks. This type of arrangement enhances torque resistance of the lock cylinder against attempted forced entry.

Rekeyable lock cylinder with enhanced torque resistance

A touch screen electronic deadbolt includes a planar, exterior touch panel with a touch overlay for receiving tactile input for entry of an access code to engage and disengage a deadbolt. The touch panel is contained within a housing cavity of a rectilinear housing. A touch overlay rests above the housing cavity extending to the edge of the housing without the use of a bezel or frame, thus providing a sleek and low profile appearance. An interior escutcheon may be in communication with the exterior touch panel allowing a user to manually engage and disengage the deadbolt from within a dwelling.

Deadbolt touch panel for keyless entry

MLVM is a DRAM product that has the flexibility for certain performance characteristics to change based on programming characteristics made when writing the data and the ability to write multiple bits of data at the same time. At the simplest level, this means that depending on the type of operation(s) being executed, certain more favorable characteristics can be programmed into the DRAM to get benefits over the current state of the art. The most likely benefits would be in power utilization and heat.

Multi-level versatile memory

A housing configured to accept a rekeyable lock core for use in lockable enclosures. The housing is configured to use a lock core that is designed for deadbolt and door lever/knob operation. The housing allows a rekeyable lock cylinder to be used in one's home as well as other enclosure enclosures. A common key may therefore be used for all devices as the lock core is of a rekeyable design.

Housing for removable lock core

Integrated circuits including a ferroelectric memory cell and methods for manufacturing the same. One embodiment of the memory cells include three main layers: a first oxide ferroelectric layer, a second oxide anti-ferroelectric layer, and a covering layer. The ferroelectric material of the first and second oxides include as main components oxygen and any of the group containing Hf, Zr, and (Hf, Zr).

Integrated circuit including ferroelectric memory cells and methods for manufacturing

A lockset is provided with a sensor assembly for detecting tampering with the cylinder. A lock cylinder with a cylinder body and a cylinder plug disposed in the cylinder body is provided. The cylinder plug is configured to deform and/or separate from the cylinder body when a sufficient force is applied. A sensor assembly is provided that detects when the cylinder plug deforms and/or separates from the cylinder body. In some embodiments, the sensor assembly could detect when the cylinder plug deforms and/or separates from the cylinder body with a strain gauge, a continuity circuit, a micro-switch, an optical sensor, an accelerometer and/or a contact microphone.

Lockset with cylinder integrity sensor

Methods and apparatus for programming a ferroelectric memory according to various desired and constraining characteristics, such as the retention of the data written to the memory, the endurance of the memory itself, both retention and endurance, power consumption, constraints on available voltage levels, etc. The characteristics of the signal used to write the data to memory (e.g., voltage, power, etc.) are selected to as to satisfy the various desired and constraining characteristics.
