The present disclosure discloses an insulated glazing (2) system (1) comprising at least two glass panes and a spacer element, said at least two glass panes and said spacer element defining a closed volume, a light ray shielding device (3) defining a plurality of transparent areas configured to allow the passage of incident light rays with a given angle of incidence, whereas light rays having other angles of radiation are unable to pass through said plurality of transparent areas and a plurality of non-transparent areas configured to block the passage of light rays, said non-transparent areas defining a first surface and a second surface, opposite to the first surface , said light ray shielding device (3) being situated within said closed volume, support means (32) mechanically connected to said spacer and operably associated with said light ray shielding device (3) to support it. The system is characterized in that the light ray shielding device (3) comprises a layer (333) having retroreflective properties, said layer (333) at least partially covering one or both of said first and second surfaces of at least one of said areas of said plurality of non-transparent areas of said light ray shielding device (3).

An anti-ballistic protection system for protecting a space in a building or vehicle comprising a protective barrier including one or more sheets of a laminated material having a plurality of layers of lightweight, flexible, ballistic resistant material such as woven sheets which are secured together using a glue, heat weld, or stitching. The system may include an automated control system operably configured to cause a change in state of the barrier from a retracted state to a protective deployed state, which may include a sensing system operably configured to detect a threatening event, wherein the sensing system upon sensing the threatening event triggers the barrier to transition from the retracted state to the deployed protective state such that in the protective state, the barriers are adapted to be resistant to penetration by high-speed ballistic objects such as bullets.

A covering for an architectural opening is provided. The covering may include a roller rotatable about a longitudinal axis, a shade associated with the roller, and an operating system operably associated with the roller. The operating system may include a base, a drive mechanism, a transmission, an actuator arm, and an engagement arm. The drive mechanism may be associated with the base to provide an input torque. The transmission may be associated with the drive mechanism to selectively transmit the input torque to the roller. The actuator arm may be associated with the base to indirectly set a rotation direction of the roller. The engagement arm may be associated with the base and engageable with the transmission.
