Abstract: The present invention relates to an antenna device for a communication device operable in at least two frequency intervals and comprising a generally planar electrically conductive driven radiating element (2) having a feeding portion (5) connectable to a feeding point (P) of a printed wire board (4) of the communication device and a generally planar elongated parasitic element (3) having a ground portion (6) connectable to a grounding point (G) of the printed wire board. The driven radiating element (2) and the parasitic element (3) are essentially coplanar and separated by a gap, wherein the grounding portion (6) of the parasitic element (3) is positioned at a grounding point (G') along the parasitic element (3) so as to virtually divide the parasitic element (3) into a first and a second portion respectively with a first length (L1) and a second length (L2), wherein the first portion having a first length (L1) is longer than the second portion having a second length (L2). 
By designing the parasitic element in this fashion, it is possible to easily modify and influence the impedance match of the resonance for the different frequencies, i.e. the Return Loss level for which the parasitic element is active.

Abstract: A safety system for control of the access to an object with a lock, that can alternatively be locked or unlocked by a mechanical key subsystem and by a remote control key subsystem offers the possibility to intentionally deactivate a remote control key subsystem by using for example the mechanical key subsystem when locking said object. Later, the remote control key subsystem can be reactivated by using the mechanical key subsystem again for unlocking. This way, the use of the remote control key subsystem can be prevented in situations where a theft of a remote control key is more probable than in other situations.
