A plant shield assembly includes an elongated shield having a first door operably connected to a second door and both doors are pivotally connected to the vehicle and movable between an open position and a closed position. The plant shield assembly includes a door opening mechanism operably attached to the elongated shield and configured to move the first and the second doors. The plant shield assembly includes a linkage assembly that connects the elongated shield with the door opening mechanism, and limits the extent of rotation of the doors. The door opening mechanism and linkage assembly are positioned between the elongated shield and the vehicle. The door opening mechanism can be a handle attached to the elongated shield. Optionally, the plant shield assembly includes an access door that is disposed between an open position to enable actuation of the handle and a closed position to block actuation of the handle.

A door actuation system may include an actuation device to move a first door leaf and a second door leaf between an open and a closed position. The actuation device may provide an open preload force in the open position. The actuation device may provide a closed preload force in the closed position. The system may include one or more of: a first engagement member that may contact the actuation device and may allow movement of the actuation device to adjust the open and closed preload force; or the actuation device may be coupled with the first door leaf by a first rod and the second door leaf by a second rod, at least one of the first or second rod may adjust a length of the first or second rod to maintain the open preload force in the open position and the closed preload force in the closed position.

An apparatus for controlling bus doors (14, 16) that are arranged as a pair of doors that move in coordinated relation between door open positions and door closed positions, enables passengers to access an interior area (12) of a bus (10). The apparatus includes an actuator (28, 226). The actuator includes a drive lever (34, 228) that is selectively rotationally movable between rotational positions in which both of the doors are in the open positions and in the closed positions. Exemplary arrangements include at least one controller (128) that is operative to prevent the doors from causing damage to or from being damaged by engagement with obstructions. The controller further enables a bus driver or other authorized user to control access to the interior area of the bus using a user mobile device (144).

A system for transferring torque with zero lash from a driver to a driven object is provided. The system includes a shaft disposed about a rotational axis and a hub defining a bore that receives the shaft. The shaft and hub are each configured for coupling to one of the driver and driven object. The shaft defines a flat on a radially outer surface and the hub defines a flat on a radially inner surface opposing the flat in the shaft. In one embodiment, the shaft includes a threaded bore and the hub includes an aligned through bore. Rotation of a threaded fastener in the bores draws the flat into engagement. In another embodiment, the hub includes a threaded through bore. Rotation of a fastener extending through the bore and engaging the shaft diametrically opposite the flats urges the flats into engagement.

A permanent magnet linear motor. The permanent magnet linear motor including a primary comprising a magnetically permeable core having a first face surface on a first side of the core a plurality of teeth forming a plurality of slots on the first side, and a plurality of multi-phase windings wound to have segments thereof in the slots forming a plurality of magnetic poles at each of the first face surfaces; a permanent magnet pair of opposing polarity configured to produce magnetic flux and cause the primary to exert a force on the secondary when the plurality of multiphase windings are excited by a multiphase source; and a passive ferromagnetic secondary adjacent to but spaced from the first face surface, the passive ferromagnetic secondary being moveable with respect to the primary.

A product display unit serves the purpose of the accommodation and presentation of products, which can include foodstuffs to be cooled. The product display unit includes a receiving space for products, a plurality of doors, which are mounted in a pivoting manner around a swivel axis between an open position and a closed position. At least a part of the doors is also mounted in a displaceable manner along a guide assembly.

An economical bi-parting door assembly for an aisle between two rows of data center IT racks is disclosed which is easy to assemble, has no floor track or leveling requirements, and an overhead suspension and drive assembly for the left and right door assemblies. Guide ribs and channels can be provided for the door leaves at the lower portions of the leaves and mating features are placed on the leading faces of the leaves. Some features are designed to work specifically with a containment system frame for server cabinets.
