Christophe Raynal has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11840876
    Abstract: This automatic gate assembly includes at least one first automatic gate and at least one second automatic gate. The or each first automatic gate includes a first frame defining a first passage, at least one first obstacle, chosen from the following obstacles: swing leaf, laterally sliding leaf, pivoting leaf, for selectively closing and opening the first passage, and a first motor assembly for moving the first obstacle. The or each second automatic gate includes a second frame defining a second passage, at least one second obstacle, different to the first obstacle and chosen from the following obstacles: swing leaf, laterally sliding leaf, pivoting leaf, for selectively closing and opening the second passage, and a second motor assembly for moving the second obstacle. The first and second motor assemblies are substantially identical to each other.

  • Patent number: 9121215
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for supervising access to a restricted area, including at least one obstacle that is mobile between a deployed configuration, in which said obstacle extends across a passageway for the entry and/or exit to/from said restricted area, and a stowed configuration in which said obstacle is removed from said passageway. The system also includes a unit for driving the obstacle between the deployed configuration and the stowed configuration, a device for measuring the position of the obstacle, and a module for controlling the drive unit. The control module is suitable for comparing the measured position of the obstacle at at least one moment in time with a theoretical position of the obstacle at said moment in time, and to derive a rule for controlling the drive unit.
