Magnetic Selector And Systems Incorporating Same
A magnetic selector includes a housing configured to receive a container and having a floor upon which the container is disposed. The selector also includes a magnet carrier disposed on an opposite side of the floor from the container. The magnet carrier has at least one magnet disposed thereon and being moveable relative to the floor between a first state wherein the magnet carrier is adjacent the floor and a second state wherein the magnet carrier is spaced from the floor. The selector may include a door. The magnetic selector is usable in a fluid processing system that includes a fluid processor connectable to a source container filled with a biological fluid. A container is disposed in the magnetic selector and connected to the processor along a fluid pathway. The processor is configured to separate the biological fluid from the source container into at least two streams of material.
Automatic Door with a Hinged Swinging Partial Door
A door assembly may include a first sidelite configured to be operably coupled to a first door jamb, a second sidelite configured to be operably coupled to a second door jamb where the first and second sidelites are disposed in a common plane and define a door opening between the first and second sidelites, a first sliding panel, a second sliding panel where the first and second sliding panels are movable from a closed position disposing the first and second sliding panels to block access through the door opening and an open position in which the first sliding panel is proximate the first sidelite and the second sliding panel is proximate the second sidelite, a first partial door panel, and a second partial door panel. The first and second sliding panels are disposed in a second plane parallel to the common plane in both the open and closed position. The first and second partial door panels are operably coupled to the first and second sidelites, respectively, via hinge assemblies. The first and second partial door panels have a closed state in which the first and second partial door panels are each disposed in the common plane blocking access through the door opening, and an open state in which the first and second partial door panels are each disposed out of the common plane.

VEHICLE DOOR SYSTEM, A VEHICLE COMPRISING THE VEHICLE DOOR SYSTEM, AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE DOOR SYSTEM
A vehicle door system for limiting an opening angle. The system includes a track connected to the door, a clamp unit connected to and movable in relation to the track, and a blocking member connected to a vehicle body structure. The track extends through the blocking member. In a first state, the clamp unit is moveable in relation to the track and, in a second state, the clamp unit is prevented from moving in relation to the track. In the first state when the door is opened the clamp unit moves along the track. When the door, in the open position, is at a predetermined angle, the clamp unit is at a locked position in relation to the track preventing further opening of the vehicle door through interaction between the clamp unit and the blocking member.
LOCKING APPARATUSES AND A METHOD OF PROVIDING ACCESS CONTROL
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for providing a locking apparatus for resisting movement of an openable element are described. The locking apparatus includes a body, an actuator, a lifting member, at least a portion of the lifting member being configured to be raised or lowered relative to the body according to an output of the actuator, the lifting member comprising a contact surface configured to restrict movement of the openable element, and a strap coupled to the body and to the lifting member, the strap configured to permit the lifting member to flex based at least in part upon contact between the lifting member and the openable element and to transfer energy received at the lifting member into the body of the locking apparatus into a surface to which the locking apparatus is mounted.

Magnetic Fastener
An item may be provided with a body that forms an enclosure. The body (12) may have body portions (16, 18) that open and close along a seam (14). An elongated magnetic fastener (36) may run along the seam. The magnetic fastener may have first (38) and second (40) portions on opposing sides of the seam. The first and second portions may include magnets. When the magnetic fastener is operated in a closed state, the magnets in the first and second portions attract each other and pull the first and second portions of the fastener together to close the seam. When the magnetic fastener is operated in an open state, the magnets in the first and second portions repel each other and push the first and second portions of the fastener apart to open the seam.
ADJUSTABLE DOOR HOLDER
A door holder and release assembly that is adjustable to account for different differences between the door and where the door holder and release assembly will be installed (e.g., a wall, the floor, another support location). The door holder herein has a base member, a holder member, and a connector. The base member may be configured for operative coupling with a wall or a door. The holder member may be configured for operative coupling with a release assembly on the wall or the door opposite the base member. Moreover, the holder member may be configured to be telescopically operatively coupled with the base member through the connector to position the holder member at varied distances from base member to allow for the accommodation of varying distances between a wall and the door, as well as for minor adjustments that a user may want to make.
