A protection and/or charging assembly includes a power apparatus, a protection housing, a charging apparatus and/or a locking assembly. The power apparatus provides electrical power to components of the protection and/or charging assembly. The protection housing houses one or more personal belongings and/or electronic devices. The charging apparatus receives power from the power apparatus and charges the one or more electronic devices. The locking assembly locks and/or unlocks the protection housing and allows the one or more personal belongings to be stored in an interior of the protection housing.

A system comprising an opening comprising a door or a window, wherein the opening comprises a door or a window frame is provided. The opening comprises at least one movable door panel or at least one movable window panel based on if the opening is the door or the window respectively. The system also comprises a deadbolt inbuilt in the door panel or the window panel, a guiding device and a mechanical moving mechanism, wherein the guiding device and the mechanical moving mechanism are both housed in a guiding device housing, a guide block, and an attachment mechanism.

An intelligent window allowing ventilation has an outer frame, a sliding frame, an upper locking rod, a lower locking rod, a driving module, a power supply module, and a switch assembly. The sliding frame is slidably mounted in the outer frame. The switch assembly controls the driving module to selectively drive the upper locking rod and the lower locking rod to two locking positions respectively, two ventilation positions respectively or two unlocking positions respectively. Since no handle is needed, an appearance of the intelligent window is neat and scenery outside the intelligent window would not be sheltered. In addition, by actuating the switch module to electrically drive the upper locking rod and the lower locking rod, a user is able to switch the intelligent window to a locked state, a ventilation state or a unlocked state. It is labor-saving and simple in operation.

The solar powered door system includes a motor configured to raise and lower the door. A cycle is one raise and one lower of the door. The system also includes a battery configured to provide power to the motor. A solar unit is included that is configured to convert solar energy into electrical power to charge the battery. In the system, the motor depletes the battery during operation at an operation rate and the solar unit charges the battery at a replenishment rate. This replenish rate is less than one third of the operation rate. The replenishment rate is also sufficient to keep the battery charged at a level sufficient to power the motor for at least 12 cycles, and preferably at least 25 cycles, in a 24-hour period.

A solar-powered window control device having a photovoltaic cell for powering automated window opening and closing. The device can be retrofitted onto any exterior exposure gear-driven mechanism without requiring special skills for installation. A wireless-enabled motorized window control for opening and closing the window is contained within a single enclosure and mounts by engagement with an existing window's operator gear and casement operator and can be controlled with a microcontroller for smarthome integration.

A truck bed cover integrated in a vehicle (e.g., a truck), configured to move through an opening formed between a cab and a truck bed, and along a set of channels on the truck bed. The vehicle includes a motor engaged with the truck bed cover and configured to enable an automated movement of the truck bed cover along the set of channels. The vehicle in one embodiment is an electric truck configured to run off a battery pack stored within the electric truck. The truck bed cover includes a plurality of movable portions, the plurality of movable portions linked together in a flexible format.

The invention is a photovoltaic system mounted to the inside surface of a window. The system comprises photovoltaic modules on a substrate along with a sheet of material which is visually similar to the substrate which are both adhesively attached to the interior surface of a window, facing towards the outside of the building. The light incident side of the substrate with photovoltaic cells faces the exterior of the building facing the sun. Electrical connectors are integrated into the substrate and connected to solar cells within the photovoltaic modules, thus providing electrical connection of the system to external electrical devices or electrical systems near the window that require power.

The invention is a photovoltaic system mounted with brackets to the inside surface of a window. The brackets are adhesively attached to the window. The system comprises photovoltaic modules on a substrate along with a sheet of material which is visually similar to the substrate which are both attached by the brackets to the interior surface of a window, facing towards the outside of the building. The light incident side of the substrate with photovoltaic cells faces the exterior of the building facing the sun. Electrical connectors are integrated into the substrate and connected to solar cells within the photovoltaic modules, thus providing electrical connection of the system to external electrical devices or electrical systems near the window that require power.

An automated sliding panel mechanism is disclosed. An automated sliding panel mechanism including a motor is configured to move a sliding window between a closed position and an open position, and includes a power source providing power to the motor, a rack consisting of rack teeth wherein a portion of the surface of the rack teeth are generally perpendicular to a plane, and a gear rotated by the motor and consisting of gear teeth, wherein the gear teeth are shaped to mesh with the rack teeth.

A protection and/or charging assembly includes a power apparatus, a protection housing, a charging apparatus and/or a locking assembly. The power apparatus provides electrical power to components of the protection and/or charging assembly. The protection housing houses one or more personal belongings and/or electronic devices. The charging apparatus receives power from the power apparatus and charges the one or more electronic devices. The locking assembly locks and/or unlocks the protection housing and allows the one or more personal belongings to be stored in an interior of the protection housing.
