A cellular covering for an architectural opening includes a plurality of elongated, longitudinally connected and transversely collapsible cellular units composed of inner and outer cells where the outer cell is a woven, knit, or non-woven product and the inner cell is an air-impermeable film which may be treated to be a low-modulus film with acceptable surface tension so that the panel formed from the cellular units has improved insulative properties and has a relatively long life.

Provided is a smart pixel blind having aesthetics that may be felt by a user by including a plurality of pixels disposed in a two-dimensional array. In the smart pixel blind, driving devices are provided in the respective pixels, and when the user inputs a predetermined shape using a portable terminal, or the like, a main controller receives the input shape and controls the driving devices provided in the respective pixels to allow the input shape to be displayed.

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.

A window blind includes a headrail, a bottom rail, a plurality of slats horizontally provided therebetween, a ladder tape connecting the headrail and the bottom rail, and at least one cord adapted to collect and expand the blind. The ladder tape includes a first vertical member and a second vertical member which are provided in parallel, with a space left therebetween. The second vertical member is a piece of fabric made by interweaving multiple first vertical yarns and multiple first horizontal yarns. Multiple ring members are provided in a longitudinal axial direction of at least one of the first vertical member and the second vertical member. Since the aforementioned vertical components and loop segments are made by weaving, these components are prevented from being pulled out to form loops. The position of the cord is restricted to avoid excessive horizontal movement and the hazard of wrapping around human body parts.

An assembly for closing an opening comprising a door panel adapted for sliding movement between an open position and a closed position, a first extendable member located at a first edge of the opening and extendable towards an opposed second edge of the opening, and a second extendable member located at the second edge of the opening and extendable towards the first edge of the opening, and wherein the door panel includes a stop member attached thereto and movable therewith, the location of the stop member defining the limit of movement of the first extendable member towards the second edge of the opening, and the limit of movement of the second extendable member towards the first edge of the opening.

A fenestration system includes one or more of a light modulation controller or ventilation modulation controller. The light modulation controller is in communication with at least one light modulation element of a fenestration assembly having a frame and a panel. The light modulation controller includes a light prescription module configured to provide a specified light prescription for the building interior. A lighting difference module is configured to determine a prescription difference between the specified light prescription and ambient light. A dynamic light module of the light modulation controller operates the at least one light modulation element according to the prescription difference. The ventilation modulation controller is in communication with at least one operator configured to open and close the panel. A ventilation prescription module provides a specified ventilation prescription for the building interior, and a dynamic ventilation module implements panel closing and opening according to the specified ventilation prescription.

A window covering includes a liner attached to a first rail and window covering material attached to the first rail and the liner such that the window covering material is moveable from a retracted position to an extended position when the liner is moved from its retracted position to its extended position. The window covering material can be configured to define a first number of folds when the window covering material is moved to the retracted position of the window covering material. The liner can be configured to define a second number of folds when the liner is moved to the retracted position of the liner. The second number of folds can be a number of folds that is at least 50% larger than the first number of folds formed in the window covering material when it is moved to its retracted position.
