A key duplicating machine includes: a support structure, a front operational area which is accessible by the operator and which is removably covered and separated, at least partially, from the external environment by a covering and/or protection crankcase movable with respect to said structure of support. At least one key cutter and/or another cutting element, and at least one terminal (12) for locking a key, are housed in the front operational area, a rear containment area, covered and separated from the external environment by a casing mechanically fixed to the support structure, and a control and command unit having a mechanism for moving said crankcase for covering and/or protecting the front operational area, the crankcase being configured to be mounted on a fixed structure of the duplicating machine so as to be able to be moved with respect to the fixed structure.

An automatic door opening system including a door having a top portion, a bottom portion, a hinged portion, and an opening portion. The system includes an opener connected to the door adjacent the opening portion and configured to selectively receive electrical current. The system includes a magnet disposed on the opening portion of the door such that the magnet is adjacent the opener when the door is in the closed position. The system includes a microcontroller in electric communication with the electromagnet wherein a memory contains processor-executable instructions to receive a door activation input and, in response to receiving the door activation input, activate the electromagnet to apply a magnetic force against the magnet and push the door between the closed position and the open position. The system may also include a closer configured to selectively return the door to the closed position.

The present application provides a touch-free door driving device initiated upon the affirmative action or command of a user. More specifically, a user a door driving device is provided which can open the door when the user is at a distant location and is approaching the door. This apparatus can be easily installed on either side of the door which is user friendly and easy installation with minimal steps such as anyone can install it at any door of any room. Additionally, in spite of the door thickness, the apparatus can be installed without drilling or using any sort of tool. Preferably, the door driving device is provided with sufficient pull and push torque without any stoppage.

An embodiment vehicle hinge driving apparatus includes an actuator, a housing connected to the actuator, an output shaft having an axis aligned with an axis of the housing, a transmission mechanism configured to transmit a torque from the actuator to the output shaft, and a brake unit configured to provide a brake torque to the output shaft.

A vehicle door control system is provided, and includes a body hinge member connected to the vehicle body, a door hinge member connected to the door, a brake and a control system. The brake includes a plate pack that includes a plurality of body brake plates connected to the body hinge member, and interleaved with a plurality of door brake plates connected to the door hinge member. The plate pack is positionable in a braking state in which the body brake plates and the door brake plates are frictionally engaged with one another to provide a first resistance to relative rotation therebetween so as to hold the vehicle door in a selected position, and a release state in which the body brake plates and the door brake plates provide a second resistance to relative rotation therebetween that is less than the first resistance.

An apparatus for intelligently predicting human intent for accessing door entry or exit is provided. Firstly, the apparatus provides a hygienic and frictionless smart door opening bot that opens and closes based on identifying an authorized person. Particularly, the apparatus identifies proper internal exit intent from the inside. Further, the present invention predicts intent motion of an authorized user. In addition, the present invention operates remotely. Moreover, the present invention provides an ability to remotely control an accessing control device that can communicate via a remote control. In addition, the present invention facilitates easy installation without any tools. Further, the present invention facilitates the design and implementation of an automatic battery swap facility for the prolonged activities of the door open smart bot. In particular, the battery swap station is implemented with battery off-line recharging and on-line exchanging methods. Furthermore, the present invention connects to wireless access devices such as face recognition, BLE, Wi-Fi, UWB or other means accordingly. As an example, in an event where a bot can detect the user via access devices the smart bot can recognize authorized users via voice recognition wake words.

An apparatus comprising a baseplate configured to be coupled to a door configured to be positioned in an open door position, a closed door position, and a plurality of door positions in between the open position and closed position; a motor; a circuitry electrically coupled to the motor and configured to be in communication with a remote computing device; at least one proximity sensor electrically coupled to the circuitry and configured to determine the door position with respect to a door frame; a drive wheel coupled to the motor and the circuitry, the drive wheel comprising an external surface, the external surface of the drive wheel configured to rotatably contact a ground surface; and wherein the motor is configured to be remotely activated by the remote computing device to engage the drive wheel to rotatably contact the ground surface to reposition the door responsive to receipt of a signal.

A motorized door opening device, including at least one wheel, configured to be lowered to a surface and forced thereagainst with a force sufficient to ensure friction between the wheel and the surface and to prevent slipping of the wheel relative to the surface; an electric motor including a rotor coupled to rotate the wheel; a wheel actuator, coupled between the door and the wheel, to lower the wheel to the surface in response to a wheel lowering signal; and control circuitry to signal the wheel actuator to lower the wheel by generating the wheel lowering signal and push down the wheel to create friction; and a door attachment member to attach the motor and the wheel actuator to a bottom part of the door; whereby rotation of the wheel after lowering of the wheel causes the wheel to rotate in contact with the surface and move the door.
