In one embodiment, systems and methods include to fluid transfer hinge used to transfer fluid from one surface to another. The fluid transfer hinge comprises a first housing. The fluid transfer hinge further comprises a second housing, wherein the first housing is coupled to the second housing, wherein the first housing is rotatable about the second housing along a central axis of the fluid transfer hinge. The fluid transfer hinge further comprises a fluid inlet, wherein the fluid inlet is disposed about at least a portion of the thickness of the first housing. The fluid transfer hinge further comprises a fluid outlet, wherein the fluid outlet is disposed about at least a portion of the thickness of the second housing.

An opening and closing apparatus with a lock that is provided is capable of safely and promptly closing a sliding door, and also easily performing unlocking with a simple configuration. In an opening and closing apparatus with a lock for opening and closing sliding doors that are provided with elastic members at their door leading ends, output of an electric motor is transmitted to a rack-and-pinion mechanism or a lock mechanism. A control unit controls the electric motor such that a closing operation is performed, the closing operation operates the rack-and-pinion mechanism so as to move the sliding doors to a fully closed position and then displacing a link mechanism in a lock mechanism from an unlocking position to a locking position. Furthermore, the control unit controls the electric motor so as to reduce the output of the electric motor at a predetermined intermediate time point during the closing operation.

A gasket for a refrigerator door is provided. The gasket includes a body configured to be arranged between a main body of a refrigerator and a refrigerator door, and a magnet inserted to the body and arranged to be attached to or detached from the main body of the refrigerator. The body includes, by weight % (wt %), about 30 to 60% of thermoplastic resin, about 20 to 40% of plasticizer, about 3 to 30% of filler, and one or more other additives. The filler is provided with one or more hollow particles or a porous material having a diameter of about 1 to 100 μm, the filler having a heat conductivity of about 0.0001 to 0.2 W/m.Math.K.

A window regulator including a panel and a guide rail. The panel may define a speaker aperture that may be configured to receive at least a portion of the speaker. The guide rail may be integrally formed to the panel and configured to carry a slider. The slider may be configured to move along the guide rail to move the window between a first position and a second position. The guide rail may include an aperture-region portion that may extend across the speaker aperture in a first direction. The aperture-region portion may include a first sidewall and a second sidewall that may each extend in a second direction that may be substantially orthogonal to the first direction.

A joining structure of a door panel for a lavatory of an aircraft lavatory unit is provided. A plurality of pairs of end surfaces of a structural frame side hinge portion end surface and a door panel side hinge portion end surface facing each other in the vertical direction are alternately provided at intervals in the vertical direction. Bearing members each formed in a cylindrical shape and including a shaft insertion hole are disposed between at least two pairs of end surfaces adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, of the plurality of pairs of end surfaces. Both surfaces of the bearing member are in contact with each of the two pairs of end surfaces.

A horizontally sliding window can block a draft, rainwater, dust, and noise from being introduced through a gap between a window casing and a window while the window is closed, thereby improving indoor heat insulating and soundproof functions of the window. A horizontally sliding window includes a square frame-shaped window casing having a transverse frame and a longitudinal frame assembled therein and a window disposed on an inner side of the window casing. Moving frames are respectively interposed between the transverse frame and an upper end portion of the window and between the transverse frame and a lower end portion of the window, each including first and second cover members extending from opposite sides thereof to cover indoor and outdoor sides of the transverse frame, respectively, and having a roller rotatably coupled between the first and second cover members so as to operate in contact with the transverse frame.

A hinge assembly for a shower door includes a first panel rotatably connected to a second panel. A first hinge member has a first body portion for attachment to the first panel and a first neck portion, the first hinge member being arranged to allow rotation of the first panel with respect to the second panel about a hinge axis. The first body portion is arranged to be connected to the first panel so as to lie at least partially within a recessed region thereof, such that the hinge axis lies within a footprint of the first panel. The hinge assembly further comprises a second hinge member having a second body portion for attachment to the second panel such that the hinge axis lies outside a footprint of the second panel, and a second neck portion arranged to be rotatably connected to the first neck portion to allow the rotation.

The disclosure relates to a sliding fenestration system assembly, such as a door or window system. The sliding fenestration system includes a sill having a first track channel and a second track channel formed thereon. A sill track including a first track segment, a second track segment, and a third track segment is coupled to the sill such that the first track segment is positioned within the first track channel, the third track segment is positioned within the second track channel, and the second track segment extends between the first and second track channels. The system further includes a sliding panel having one or more bottom guide assemblies, the assemblies engaging the sill track and operable to accommodate movement of the sliding panel along the sill track to reduce friction at a sealing interface between the sliding panel and the fenestration frame assembly.
