20100300628 | SYSTEM FOR MAINTAINING ELECTRICALLY OPERATED FOLDING PARTITION SYSTEMS - A system for maintaining an electrically operated folding wall comprising: (a) a maintenance detecting means; (b) a time measuring means; (c) a first time alarm means for detecting a preset time for a maintenance reminder; (d) a second time alarm means far detecting a preset time for maintenance; (e) a first maintenance schedule indicator for indicating that maintenance is soon required; f) a second maintenance schedule indicator for indicating that maintenance is required; (g) a preventing means for preventing the electrical operation circuit of the folding operable wall from functioning after the second time alarm detects that the time measuring means has reached the preset time for maintenance; (h) a resetting means for resetting the time measured by the time measuring means after the required maintenance has been performed; and (i) a restarting means for restarting the electrical operation circuit of the folding operable wall after the required service has been performed. | 12-02-2010 |
20110284171 | DEVICE FOR DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF AN OBJECT OR OF A LIVING BEING - The invention relates to a device for detecting the presence of an object or of a living being between two end points. This device comprises, on the one hand, a means for emitting an electromagnetic signal comprising an emit antenna associated with a first end point, and a means for exciting this antenna so as to make this antenna emit such a signal and, on the other hand, a means for receiving this electromagnetic signal comprising a receive antenna associated with a second end point, together with means for detecting such a signal. This detection device is characterized in that the emit and receive antennas each adopt the form of a tubular waveguide having at least one wall provided with at least one opening. The invention further relates to an installation for protecting, for counting or for closing an opening equipped with such a detection device. | 11-24-2011 |

20140290870 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO CONTROL ARCHITECTURAL OPENING COVERING ASSEMBLIES - Methods and apparatus to control architectural opening covering assemblies are disclosed herein. An example architectural opening covering assembly includes a manual controller operatively coupled to a tube to rotate the tube. The tube includes an architectural opening covering. The example architectural opening covering assembly also includes a motor operatively coupled to the tube to rotate the tube. A local controller is communicatively coupled to the motor to control the motor. The example architectural opening covering assembly further includes a gravitational sensor to determine an angular position of the tube. | 10-02-2014 |
20150059989 | OVERHEAD DOOR SPRING ALERT SAFETY SYSTEM - A safety system for overhead garage and like door structures having a counterbalance spring structure including one or more coil springs, which comprises devices for detecting the breaking of a door counterbalance spring and alerting a human operator to a spring failure. The system may include communication capabilities for remote notification of the fault and other information, and may include devices for preventing operation of a motorized door opener until the fault is cleared. | 03-05-2015 |
20150059990 | BULLET PROOF BLINDS - A blind system comprising a plurality of slats having a ballistic resistant material; a control system operably configured to cause a change in state of the blind from an open state to a protective closed state; and a sensing system operably configured to detect a threatening event, wherein the sensing system upon sensing the threatening event triggers the control system to transition from the open state to the protective state such that in the protective state, the blinds are adapted to be resistant to penetration by high-speed ballistic objects | 03-05-2015 |
20160123076 | INTERLOCKING PIVOTABLE FASCIA FOR MOTORIZED WINDOW TREATMENT - A battery-powered, motorized window treatment may include a fascia that pivots between a conceal position wherein the fascia covers a window treatment assembly and a battery compartment, and an expose position wherein the fascia does not cover the battery compartment. The fascia may be a two part fascia that includes an arm and a cover that pivots relative to the arm when the battery compartment is operated between respective opened and closed positions. The arm may be attached to the battery compartment such that the arm remains in a fixed orientation relative to the battery compartment. The arm and the cover may define complementary pivotally interlocking connectors that define a pivot axis about which the cover may pivot relative to the arm. The fascia may be configured to generate a perceptible indication when the fascia pivots into the conceal position, and/or when the fascia pivots into the expose position. | 05-05-2016 |
