An entrance system is disclosed which has a movable door member having a door leaf with a first vertical edge and a second vertical edge. A sensor unit monitors a zone at or near the door leaf for presence or activity of a person or object, and captures an image of an external object at the first vertical edge of the door leaf, and processing the captured image to identify an optical code and recognize a learning mode trigger instruction encoded therein. Triggered by the recognizing of the learning mode trigger instruction, a learning mode of the sensor unit is automatically entered into, in which a distance between the sensor unit and the external object at the first vertical edge is automatically measured and a field width parameter value of the sensor unit is set based on the measured distance.

A door drive for arrangement on or in connection with a door system, wherein at least one leaf element of the door system is movable, including a motor unit with a housing, in which a stator is stationarily received, and wherein a rotor is arranged so as to be rotationally-movable in the housing and includes an output shaft, wherein the output shaft can be brought into operative connection in a driving manner with the leaf element. The motor unit has the basic shape of a cuboid, which is formed at least by two housing halves connected to each other.

System for detecting the movement conditions of the leaf (2) closing a barrier, this leaf being able to occlude a delimited opening or passage and in which the leaf itself is moved by a motor (5) whose rotation shaft (R1) is associated with a motion transmission mechanism to this leaf. On said motor is present a first device for measuring the rotation of said rotation shaft (R1), and at least a second measuring device is associated with at least a second rotation shaft (R2), said second rotation shaft being connected to the first shaft by means of a reduction gear (8), whose reduction ratio is non-integer.

An actuator for motor vehicle applications, in particular for motor vehicle closing devices, comprising an electric motor, an actuating element which can be directly or indirectly acted upon via a drive train, and, arranged on a drive shaft of the electric motor, a drive wheel with an evoloid toothing, the drive train having at least one crown gear stage.

Improved systems and methods for operating moveable architectural elements (e.g., furniture) are described. The system can include improved features implemented throughout various elements, including hardware elements, controller elements, and/or software elements. As one example, the system can feature the ability to map a characteristic load profile across a particular length of actuation and, if during operation a measured load exceeds the profile, adjust (e.g., stop) the system's motion. The system can also advantageously map its current draw to increase energy efficiency. In addition, the system can include a positioning system that enables it to automatically determine its position upon start up and during operation. In some implementations, the system includes multiple moveable elements (e.g., furniture items). In some cases, power is distributed to the moveable element(s) using a moveable power distribution module. Many other improvements and features are contemplated and described.

A system for an automated cabin-divider door for an aircraft includes a door, a motor for moving the door to an open position, a limit switch configured to detect when the door is in a fully open position and to stop the motor, and electronics coupling the motor and the limit switch to an avionics system. The avionics system determines when the door is to be opened and provides a signal to the motor for moving the door to the fully open position. A method for automatically opening the cabin-divider door includes determining whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight, determining whether the aircraft is taxiing, and determining whether the aircraft is in a final phase of approach. When the aircraft is taxiing or in the final phase of approach, the method includes sending a command signal to the motor for opening the cabin-divider door.

The present invention relates to a door operator with an abnormal voltage protection function and a method for abnormal voltage protection of a door operator. According to the present invention, before a door operator motor is electrically energized by an external power source, a controller determines whether the external power source meets the rated voltage of the door operator. In the case that the external power source meets the rated voltage, the controller activates the door operator motor; in the case that the external power source does not meet the rated voltage, the door operator motor is deactivated, and the controller issues a warning.
