    摘要: A sliding door closure system is provided including close and energy harvesting to recover kinetic energy from the motion of the door. According to some embodiments, the relative motion between a sliding door and sliding door track may be configured to drive a generator. The generator may be driven by a driving a wheel rotationally connected to the generator. Examples include driving the generator by a friction wheel, by a chain and sprocket, or by a gear and rack. The generator may recover kinetic energy from the motion of the door during the deceleration of the soft close function. Energy recovered from the door may be stored and used to assist the motion of the door or to operate sensors to monitor the operation of the door closure system. The door closure system may transmit data and preserve a record of use.

    摘要: Controlling movable barrier movement with respect to selectively overriding a safety system includes determining whether a safety system is in an operation failure or misalignment state, the safety system being configured to detect obstruction in a path of movement of a movable barrier, receiving a state change request for the movable barrier while the safety system is in the operation failure or misalignment state, determining whether a safety override condition exists, and overriding the safety system and actuating the movable barrier if the safety system is in the operation failure or misalignment state and the safety override condition exists.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a motorized door comprising an array of n detection cells distributed along the length of the leading edge, capable of detecting the presence and distance, Δx, from said detection cell of a body positioned between said detection cell and a distal transverse edge. The detection cells are coupled to a CPU which triggers different actions during the closing of the shutter, depending on the proportion, P=n1/n of the number, n1, of detection cells identifying the presence of a body at a same time located at a distance, Δx≤Δxs, wherein Δxs is a predefined safety distance. (a) if P≤Ps, wherein Ps is a predefined safety proportion, the detected body is considered as an accidental obstacle and the CPU is programmed to instantly stop the movement of the shutter; (b) if P>Ps, the CPU considers that the detected body is a distal transverse edge defining the end of the closure run, and orders to decrease the closing speed of the shutter until the leading edge contacts the distal transverse edge.

    摘要: A new door system and related technology for a passenger carrying rail vehicle, such as a President's Conference Committee (PCC) streetcar rail vehicle, and a method for retrofitting a rail vehicle door system with the new door system. In some embodiments, the new door system includes an electro-mechanical angle drive motor, a solid door control pivot rod, a door leaf panel clamp that is permanently connected to the solid door control pivot rod, a lever arm that includes a positive locking device and that is coupled to the solid door control pivot rod, and a connecting rod that is attached to the electro-mechanical angle drive motor and to the lever arm to enable the connecting rod to impart motion generated by the electro-mechanical angle drive motor to the lever arm.
