20120018980 | RING-MOUNT JOINT - A ring-mount joint between two vehicle units of an articulated bus, with the joint comprising two cantilevers, wherein each cantilever is arranged on one of the vehicle units, with each cantilever comprising a slewing ring, wherein the two slewing rings of the cantilever are mounted in each other so that they can be pivoted, wherein a damping device is provided for damping the rotational motion of the two cantilever relative to each other, wherein in the space enclosed by the inner slewing ring, there is arranged an annular chamber damper, wherein the annular chamber damper comprises two inter-mounted housing parts that are rotatable relative to each other, wherein the one housing part is in connection with the one cantilever and the other housing part is in connection with the other cantilever. | 01-26-2012 |
20140153998 | ARTICULATED VEHICLE WITH A JOINT BETWEEN THE VEHICLE PARTS - The invention relates to an articulated vehicle with a joint between the vehicle parts. The joint includes two joint segments that are rotatable relative to each other. The joint comprises a damping device, wherein the damping device is configured in such a manner that in any angular position of the joint segments the damping torque acting on the joint is substantially the same in a positive as well as in a negative direction of rotation at the moment of a reversal of the direction of rotation. | 06-05-2014 |
20140338136 | AIR PASSENGER STAIR OR BRIDGE WITH AN APPROXIMATELY U-SHAPED PORTAL FRAME DISPOSED AT THE FRONT OF THE AIR PASSENGER STAIR OR BRIDGE FOR RECEIVING A CANOPY ROOF - The object of the invention is an air passenger stair or an air passenger bridge ( | 11-20-2014 |
20140338138 | PIVOTABLE CANOPY ROOF OF AN AIR PASSENGER STAIR OR AN AIR PASSENGER BRIDGE - A pivotable canopy roof ( | 11-20-2014 |

20100060413 | Garage Door Operator Having Thumbprint Identification System - A movable barrier operator having thumbprint identification in either a remote radio frequency transmitter, or a receiver/barrier operator system or both is provided. A control circuit with a non-volatile memory receives thumbprint information from a fingerprint detector device and stores the information, identifying an authorized user. On subsequent operation of the fingerprint detector, a fingerprint data set is received in the control circuit and an attempt is made to match the incoming data with previously stored data thus establishing the identify of the user according to highly reliable biometric principles. As an option, a variety of different actions can be taken based upon the perceived identity of a particular individual, as well as the type of device communicating with the receiver/barrier operator. | 03-11-2010 |
20110205013 | Method and System of Conditionally Operating a Movable Barrier - A method and system provides conditional allowance of access by operating a movable barrier such that access is not granted unless another condition is met. In one illustrative approach, a first signal is received and, if a second signal is received within a set time frame relative to receipt of the second signal, a movable barrier operator is then activated. By one approach, one of the signals is a long-range transmission, and the other signal is a visual-range transmission. | 08-25-2011 |
20110254685 | Method and Apparatus Pertaining to Barrier Movement Controllers and Employing a Camera and a Wireless Transmitter - A control circuit, upon detecting a condition of interest, automatically forwards information regarding a recently-captured image to a predetermined recipient. Upon then later receiving an instruction (which instruction was prompted at least on behalf of the predetermined recipient), the control circuit then wirelessly transmits a movable barrier remote control signal to a corresponding barrier movement controller. | 10-20-2011 |
20120293310 | Method and Apparatus Pertaining to Using a Door Chime to Audibilize Non-Door-Chime Messages - A door-chime apparatus comprises a door-chime chassis that will permit the apparatus to be installed in a building (such as residence). This door-chime chassis supports other elements including a door-chime user-input interface and a wireless interface, both of which operably couple to a control circuit. The control circuit, in turn, audibilizes a door chime within the building when a user asserts a user input (such as a typical door-bell button) that couples to the door-chime user-input interface. In addition, this control circuit, upon reception of a recognized non-door-chime message via the wireless interface, will cause the audibilization of a message other than a door chime within the building. These teachings will accommodate sourcing the aforementioned non-door-chime message from any of a variety of apparatuses. Examples in these regards include residential utilities, residential appliances, and residential sensors. By one approach the audibilized message can comprise audibilized words. | 11-22-2012 |
