A load control system automatically controls the amount of daylight entering a building through at least one window of a non-linear faade of the building. The load control system comprises at least two motorized window treatments located along the non-linear faade, and a system controller. The controller is configured to calculate an optimal position for the motorized window treatments at each of a plurality of different times during a subsequent time interval using at least two distinct faade angles of the non-linear faade, such that a sunlight penetration distance will not exceed a maximum distance during the time interval. The controller is configured to use the optimal positions to determine a controlled position to which both of the motorized window treatments will be controlled during the time interval and to automatically adjust each of the motorized window treatments to the controlled position at the beginning of the time interval.

Exemplary embodiments include an electromechanical lock configuration for use in locking, particularly curtain type doors typically used to close garage spaces but also used for closure of industrial and commercial spaces for alternative purposes. Aspects of the electromechanical lock configuration may also find applications in locking of other closure doors or panel members whether they be of the curtain door type. The electromechanical lock configuration includes a latchable restraining mechanism that includes a latch bolt assembly having a linearly movable latch bolt movable between a withdrawn position and an extended active position that restrains the door or closure from moving from the closed position. The latch bolt assembly includes a selectively operable electrically activated latch drive for moving the latch bolt between a withdrawn position and an extended active position through a drive gear. A manual override is also included.

A dual layered balcony cover. The invention protects a balcony from heavy wind, heavy rain, mosquitos/insects, birds, and provides solar shading. The invention contains a plurality of pairs of roller tubes which allow a layer of insect screen to be released (inner layer of invention) and a layer of vinyl to be released (outer layer of invention) either individually or concurrently utilizing a control system with a remote control included with the invention. There are zippers positioned between the roller tubes which zip and unzip the segments of insect screen and segments of vinyl automatically when the invention ascends and descends. The invention contains protective casing that houses both sets of multiple roller tubes with slits. The top of the casing itself contains a slant shaped design which allows rain to drop away from the balcony. Right over that, there is a sensor which will be programmed to activate the control system affecting the inner layer and outer layer of the invention due to environmental circumstances which makes the invention a fully automated product.

The present invention provides a liquid drainage assembly for an automatic, roll-up door and has an attaching member connecting a drip tray to a surface proximate the door. The attaching member moves drip tray from a position where the tray is disposed under a bottom edge of the door to collect liquid flowing across the bottom edge when the door is in an open position to a position where the tray is outside the vertical plane in which the door moves to allow the door to move to a closed position. A motor moves the door in response to signals received from a controller which ensures coordinated movement of the door and the drip tray.

A device and method for controlling the speed of a rolling door is disclosed. The door panel is controlled to accelerate or decelerate by means of the real-time rolling speed of the door panel, such that speed control is applicable to door panels of different specifications. When the real-time rolling speed of a door panel reaches a predetermined acceleration value, a control module actuates the driving module to speed up opening or closing of the door panel. When the real-time rolling speed of the door panel reaches a predetermined deceleration value, the control module controls the driving module to speed down opening or closing of the door panel; when the real-time rolling speed of the door panel is in between the acceleration value and the deceleration value, the control module actuates the driving module to maintain the opening or closing speed of the rolling door at current value.

The present invention is directed to an embedded interconnecting drive system. The drive system is used to deploy and retract flexible, roll-up panels away from or onto a roller drum as the drum rotates on its longitudinal axis. In this invention, a plurality of cogs, each comprising a semi-tubular recess and tapered shaft, interact with each other to induce the flexible panel to move in concert with the roller drum as the roller drum rotates, preventing the flexible panel from unraveling on the drum. The cogs compel the flexible panel to deploy away and downward from the drum as it rotates deployingly, and to retract onto the roller drum as it rotates retractingly. This invention discloses details of the cog and a complimentary annular lock disc used to secure the cog to a flexible panel. Further, this invention discloses a plurality of embodiments of the embedded interconnecting drive system.

A delivery door may include a frame having a slot, an interior flange and an exterior flange. A panel may be attached to the frame and comprise a closed configuration and an open configuration. A securing device may be connected to the frame and the panel. The securing device may be a remote accessed internet enabled lock assembly. In certain embodiments, the panel may have a handle and a stopper. The panel may also be motorized. The delivery door may include a receptacle attached to the internal flange and the frame. The delivery door may be attached to a cut out portion of the structure. The securing device may be controlled from a wireless device.

A flex screen having: a width; a length; a thickness; a plurality of openings having a length and width, with a first opening laterally adjacent a second opening and longitudinally adjacent a third opening; a plurality of stringers, including a first stringer laterally positioned between the first and second openings; and a bridge between the first and third openings. The first opening is laterally bounded between the first and second stringers and longitudinally bounded by the bridge, which serves to span and connect the first and second stringers. The first opening is longitudinally staggered from the second opening and the bridge is connected to the first stringer at a location longitudinally partway along the second opening. The flex screen may be elastically flexed to a flexed orientation, including torsional displacement of the first and second stringers. The lateral width of the first opening is greater than the thickness of one of the first and second stringers.

A balance system used with a door of a cupboard comprises a transmission shaft, a first pulley on the transmission shaft, and a balance component. The first pulley is connected to a door belt, one end of the door belt is secured to the first pulley, and the other end of the belt is connected to the door. The balance component comprises a balancing member, a balancing belt and a second pulley on the transmission shaft. One end of the balancing belt is connected to the second pulley, and the other end of the balancing belt is connected to the balancing member, such that the balancing member is hung on the second pulley. The first pulley and the second pulley rotate synchronously, and the door belt and the balancing belt are wound oppositely. With the balance system, a small driving force can open/close the door.
