A garage door blind assembly for selectively darkening or illuminating a garage includes a garage door that has a plurality of windows extending therethrough to pass sunlight therethrough. A plurality of sets of blinds is each of the sets of blinds is movably coupled to the garage door and each of the sets of blinds is aligned with a respective one of the windows. Each of the sets of blinds is positionable in a closed position to inhibit sunlight from passing through the respective window. Conversely, each of the sets of blinds is positionable in an open position to facilitate sunlight to pass through the respective window.

A shutter including a frame, a first blade set, a second blade set, a power source and a blade driving system is provided. The frame has a frame body. The first blade set and the second blade set are disposed on the frame body of the frame. The power source is disposed in the frame body. The blade driving system connects the power source, the first blade set and the second blade set for rotating the first blade set and/or the second blade set to rotate.

The present invention relates to an insulated glazing unit (1) comprising a support frame (2); a pair of at least partially transparent panes (3) sealingly fixed to the frame (2) to define a gap (4); a screening element (5) that is adapted to be deployed within said gap (4) to be switched between an open configuration, and at least one closure configuration; a control unit (9) comprising an actuator module (10) associated with the screening element (5) to control deployment of the screening element (5); a pressure sensor (11) configured to send a signal representative of an internal pressure value (Pi) in said gap (4) to the control unit (9).

An optically transmissive light directing sheeting and daylight control structures employing the same. The light directing sheeting includes a core light redirecting layer employing TIR surfaces embedded into the sheeting and may further include one or more outer layers having light diffusing surface microstructures. The TIR surfaces intercept and reflect a portion of sunlight propagating through the core layer such that the light directing sheeting partially transmits and partially redirects the sunlight towards a plurality of divergent directions, forming relatively high bend angles.

A blind is arranged such that minimal force is required to rotate the tilt drum to tilt the slats from the fully open to the fully closed position and back, with each of the front and rear tilt cables sharing the load nearly equally throughout the entire path from the fully open to the fully closed position and back.

Modular structures for creating functional spaces are disclosed herein. The modular structures can include partitions, such as walls, storefronts, and/or doors that can be easily assembled in a desired space and selectively paired together to create a desired floorplan suitable for the environment. These modular structures can be used together to create a suitable layout for a co-working space, an office environment, a school, a hospital, a laboratory, a factory, and various other indoor spaces.

An apparatus for adjusting a tilt angle of a plurality of slats in a window blind is disclosed. The window blind includes a headrail having disposed therein a shaft that causes the tilt angle of the slats to be adjusted when the shaft is rotated. The apparatus comprises a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear in mechanical communication with the first bevel gear and coupled with the shaft, and a motor coupled to the shaft. Actuation of the first bevel gear causes a corresponding rotation of the shaft to adjust the tilt angle of the slats, and actuation by the motor causes a rotation of the shaft to adjust the tilt angle of the slats.
