DOOR ENTRYWAY SYSTEM
A threshold includes a substantially vertically upstanding nosing extending along a longitudinal axis of the threshold and a substantially vertically upstanding dam spaced from and substantially parallel to the upstanding nosing. A threshold cap is disposed at least partially across a gap between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam. A support, which supports the threshold cap, is located at least partially within the gap. The threshold cap is adjustable between at least a raised position and a lowered position. The threshold cap is biased toward the raised position when the door panel of the entryway is in an open position. The threshold cap pivots about a pivot axis parallel with the longitudinal axis. The pivot axis is not a central axis of the threshold cap.
Door entryway system
A door entryway system is disclosed. The door entryway system may have a door sweep capable of attachment to a bottom of a door panel and a threshold assembly. The threshold assembly may include a threshold substrate, an upwardly open sill channel on the substrate and a substantially rigid threshold cap biased upwardly, and vertically adjustable by rotating during interaction with the door sweep. The threshold cap and door sweep contact to form a sealing barrier when the door panel is in a closed position. The threshold assembly may also include a cap base formed separate from the threshold cap, the cap base at least partially positioned within the sill channel, the cap base supporting the threshold cap.

FENESTRATION UNIT SEALING SYSTEMS WITH WATER FUNNELING DUST PLUGS AND METHODS
Water funneling dust plugs, fenestration units including the dust plugs, and related methods are described herein. The sealing systems of fenestration units described herein include features to improve scaling the transition between cantilevered weatherstrips on a side frame member and sill/bottom weatherstripping which is notorious for allowing air and/or water to pass.

Pressure-Sealed Door For A High-Speed Rail Vehicle
A vehicle, in particular a passenger rail vehicle, has at least one door. In the area of the door, the vehicle has a sealing web which is arranged on a floor of the vehicle and can be moved at least between a sealing state and an open state, such that, in the sealing state, the sealing web projects out of the floor and forms a sealing surface for sealing off the closed door with respect to the interior of the vehicle, and that, in the open state, the sealing web is recessed in the floor.

DOOR SEAL
A movable seal for mounting to a door, the moveable seal including a drop-plate configured to move to close or cover a gap between a bottom of a door and a floor, a plunger extending laterally configured to be pressed by a door frame as the door closes, a slider arranged to be moved laterally by the plunger when the plunger is pressed, the slider having one or more ramp surfaces, and one or more first rollers. The slider is configured such that when pushed laterally by the plunger the one or more ramp surfaces push against the one or more first rollers moving the drop-plate transversely to extend the drop plate outwards for closing or covering the gap to the floor.
