Abstract
An actuation control system is disclosed that includes an actuator that is operatively associated with an actuator device, and a key for operating the actuator. The actuator and the key are arranged in use to be wirelessly coupled, and the actuator is arranged in use to derive the electrical energy for actuating the device from the key.
Claims24
An actuation control system comprising:
- an actuator, operatively associated with an actuatable device, and a key for operating the actuator,
- wherein the actuator and the key are arranged in use to be wirelessly coupled, and wherein the actuator is arranged in use to derive electrical energy for actuating the device from the key.
A method of controlling actuation of a device, the method comprising bringing into proximity a key and an actuator, transmitting an electronic signal from the key to the actuator from which the actuator derives electrical power, and actuating the device.
A key for use in controlling an actuator for a device, the key comprising a source of electrical power and means for transmitting a signal to an actuator, which signal may be used by the actuator to derive electrical power for actuating the device.
An actuator for actuating a device, the actuator comprising means to derive electrical power from an electrical signal transmitted by a key, to actuate the device.
