Patent ID: 7479624

Claim:
A laser light actuation system for remotely and selectively actuating a function of a known electromechanical gate, the system comprising: a laser module adapted to produce a known laser light signal suitable for transmission over a long distance; a laser receiver module adapted to receive and detect the known laser light signal and selectively produce an actuation signal in response to the known laser light signal to selectively actuate such an electromechanical gate operatively associated with the laser receiver module and adapted to be selectively actuated in response to the detection of the known laser light signal by the laser receiver module; and wherein the laser receiver module is adapted to be positioned in use in a selectively concealed location known to a user, wherein the laser light actuation system further comprises a radio module adapted to produce a known radio signal; and a radio receiver module adapted to receive and detect the known radio signal and selectively produce an actuation signal in response to the known radio signal to selectively actuate a barrier device operatively associated with the radio receiver module and adapted to be selectively actuated in response to the detection of the known radio signal by the radio receiver module in order to enable the laser receiver module to receive the known laser light signal.
