An access control system controls synchronous or coordinated motion of two or more gates using a controller that calculates travel time for each gate and that adjusts the speed of the motors driving the gates to so allow the gates to reach the open and/or closed position at the same time, regardless of the length of the individual travel paths of the gate.

A spindle drive, a spindle nut for the spindle drive, and a louvre window or louvre shutter having a spindle drive for moving louvre elements. The spindle nut is constructed in multiple parts including a screw nut part, having an internal thread to engage on an external thread of the threaded spindle, and a bearing part in which the screw nut part is mounted. The screw nut part includes a driver structure for transmitting a drive force applied by the threaded spindle to the spindle nut onto an element to be driven. Furthermore, the screw nut part is rotatably mounted in the bearing part in such a way that the screw nut part executes a relative movement in relation to the bearing part, and a directional component of the movement is transverse to a thread longitudinal axis of the internal thread.

A door system includes a multi-panel door and a dual-synchronization drive assembly for the door system. The dual-synchronization drive assembly has a structural configuration and functionality that combines a drive mechanism with a synchronization mechanism. The dual-synchronization drive assembly transmits a drive force in a manner that causes linear movement of door panels of the multi-panel door system between an open position and a closed position. The dual-synchronization drive assembly causes a synchronized movement of the door panels at different linear speeds/velocities to fully advance the door panels to the open position or the closed position simultaneously. The dual-synchronization drive assembly includes a dual gear unit that is configurable to allow for any motion/speed ratio necessary in order to obtain a specific performance objective of the door system.

An opening/closing body control device continues an as-needed operation where the opening/closing body is controlled in response to the operation instruction signal even when an abnormality in an opening/closing position of the opening/closing body is detected, continues opening and closing the opening/closing body until it is determined that the abnormal state in the opening/closing instruction signal is confirmed even when an abnormality in the opening/closing instruction signal is detected during the as-needed opening/closing operation, and stops opening and closing the opening/closing body the abnormal state in the opening/closing instruction signal is confirmed. The confirmation time at the presence of the opening/closing position abnormality is shorter than that at the absence of opening/closing position abnormality.

A built-in assembly comprises a refrigerator or freezer configured for installation in a piece of kitchen furniture having a front panel hinged to a cabinet structure. The front panel is arranged at the refrigerating appliance door and linked thereto by means of at least one sliding and connecting device which comprises a rail and a cursor, wherein at least one of the rail and cursor is fully interposed between the front panel and the refrigerating appliance door so that it is hidden from view in its installed configuration.

A versatile door system for a vehicle having a frame with an opening. The door system includes a door assembly including a hingeable door and a slidable door. The hingeable door is hingeably coupled to the frame proximate the opening. The slidable door is slidably coupled to the hingeable door. A rail system includes a segmented upper rail having a first portion coupled to the frame and a second portion formed on an exterior side of the hingeable door. The slidable door includes a slider bearing configured to sequentially engage the first and second portions of the segmented upper rail along a path of travel of the slidable door. In a closed configuration, the hingeable door and the slidable door are securably disposed within the opening. The hingeable door and the slidable door are configured to collectively provide access to selectable portions of the opening.

A bi-directional door opening structure includes a front door configured to be rotatably opened with respect to a front hinge part positioned in a roof of a vehicle, a rear door configured to be rotatably opened with respect to a rear hinge part positioned in the roof of the vehicle, and a drive unit positioned in the roof at a point where the front door and the rear door are adjacent to each other, and configured to apply an opening force to the front door and the rear door, wherein the drive unit includes a spindle unit configured to open at least one of the front door and the rear door, which has been unlocked by a driving force applied from a driving part, and a differential gear configured to deliver the driving force between the spindle unit and the driving part.

Door operator systems include the use of an adaptor. The adaptor may be utilized to operatively couple separate door operator assemblies together in a double door operator system. The adaptor includes control components (e.g., switches, buttons, toggles, or levers) that are used to turn the door operator system on and off. While the adaptor may be used to operatively couple two separate door operator assemblies together to form a double door operator system, the adaptor may also be used within a single door operator system. Furthermore, with respect to double door operator systems, the system may also utilize a back plate assembly formed from two or more separate back plates (e.g., two or more back plate portions).

A door for allowing access to an interior space of a housing, one end of the housing is sealed with a cover having a plurality of cover components, the door comprising: a sun gear comprising a rotational axis, the sun gear is attached to the housing; a ring having a central axis coaxially disposed with the rotational axis of the sun gear; and a plurality of planetary gears evenly distributed about the central axis of the ring, each the planetary gear comprising a rotational axis and rotationally coupled to the ring and the sun gear, wherein the rotational axis of each the planetary gear is disposed parallel to the central axis of the ring, wherein each of the cover components is configured to be attached to one of the plurality of planetary gears and when the ring is rotated with respect to the housing, the plurality of cover components separate.

A flat-type ventilation door-window structure includes a frame (1), a first movable sash (2) and a second movable sash (3). The first movable sash (2) and/or the second movable sash (3) can slide up and down in an opening (11) of the frame (1). A first guide device (300) and a second guide device (400) being respectively provided between the first movable sash (2) or the second movable sash (3) and the frame (1). The first guide device (300) and the second guide device (400) can guide the first movable sash (2) or the second movable sash (3) to change the sliding path. The flat-type ventilation door-window structure can block outdoor sound, rain and air, and improve sound insulation, water tightness and air tightness.
