2. Safe-cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe-cracking

   Scoping. Scoping a safe is the process of drilling a hole and inserting a borescope into the safe to get an intimate look into a specific part of the security container. When manipulation-proof mechanical locks and glass re-lockers are implemented as security measures, scoping is the most practical option.

3. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

   A drain-waste-vent system (or DWV) is the combination of pipes and plumbing fittings that captures sewage and greywater within a structure and routes it toward a water treatment system. It includes venting to the exterior environment to prevent a vacuum from forming and impeding fixtures such as sinks, showers, and toilets from draining freely ...

4. Rotary combination lock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_combination_lock

   Rotary combination lock. A rotary dial combination padlock. A rotary combination lock is a lock commonly used to secure safes and as an unkeyed padlock mechanism. This type of locking mechanism consists of a single dial which must be rotated left and right in a certain combination in order to open the lock.

5. Combination lock - Wikipedia

   A Wordlock letter combination lock.. A combination lock is a type of locking device in which a sequence of symbols, usually numbers, is used to open the lock. The sequence may be entered using a single rotating dial which interacts with several discs or cams, by using a set of several rotating discs with inscribed symbols which directly interact with the locking mechanism, or through an ...

   PIC (usually pronounced as /pɪk/) is a family of microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology, derived from the PIC1640 [1] [2] originally developed by General Instrument 's Microelectronics Division. The name PIC initially referred to Peripheral Interface Controller, [3] and is currently expanded as Programmable Intelligent Computer. [4]

7. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

   In computer science, an algorithm is called non-blocking if failure or suspension of any thread cannot cause failure or suspension of another thread; [1] for some operations, these algorithms provide a useful alternative to traditional blocking implementations. A non-blocking algorithm is lock-free if there is guaranteed system-wide progress ...

8. Time-delay combination locks - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-delay_combination_locks

   A time-delay combination lock is most commonly a digital, electronic combination lock equipped with a delay timer that delays the unlocking of the lock by a user-definable delay period, usually less than one hour. Unlike the time lock, which unlocks at a preset time (as in the case of a bank vault ), time-delay locks operate each time the safe ...

   In March of the same year an ad with the instructions to use the Bancomat was published in the same newspaper. In West Germany, the first ATM was installed in the 50,000-people university city of Tübingen on May 27, 1968, by Kreissparkasse Tübingen. It was built by Aalen-based safe builder Ostertag AG in cooperation with AEG-Telefunken.
