Abstract: A dampening translator for a sliding building closure comprising a housing having a longitudinal axis and a traveler track with a longitudinally extending portion having a first end. A traveler is carried by the housing and includes a body carrying track followers carried in the traveler track of the housing, and carrying longitudinally spaced walls extending away from the body and establishing a catch space therebetween. A retractor is carried by the housing and has a housing portion coupled to the housing and a traveler portion coupled to the traveler to bias the traveler in a direction toward the first end of the traveler track. A dampener is carried by the housing to decelerate the traveler.

Abstract: A fenestration assembly includes a frame assembly, a movable sash assembly and a lock assembly. The lock assembly includes a first lock and a second side lock. The first lock operatively locks and unlocks the moveable sash to the frame assembly in a first direction only when the movable sash is in a fully closed position. The first side lock operatively locks and unlocks the movable sash in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction both when the movable sash is in the fully closed position and a partially open position.

Abstract: A building closure operator includes an operator arm pivotable about an arm axis from an arm closed position to an arm open position, an arm lock actuatable to lock the arm in different locked positions and releasable to release the arm, and an articulatable lever pivotable about a lever axis parallel to the arm axis, from a lever home position corresponding to the arm closed position, to a lever actuated position corresponding to the arm open position. The lever includes a lever coupling maintainable in the lever actuated position, and a lever handle pivotable with respect to the lever coupling back to the home position to actuate the arm lock to lock the arm in one of the different locked positions.

Abstract: A dampening translator for a sliding building closure. A housing extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a traveler track with a longitudinally extending portion having a first end. A traveler is carried by the housing and includes a body carrying track followers carried in the traveler track of the housing, and longitudinally spaced walls extending away from the body and establishing a catch space therebetween. A retractor is carried by the housing and has a housing portion coupled to the housing and a traveler portion coupled to the traveler to bias the traveler in a direction toward the first end of the traveler track. A dampener is carried by the housing to decelerate the translator.

Abstract: A machine and system in the art of precision cooking, which can be a stand-alone appliance, or integrated into a thermally insulated chamber; the machine having means to collect geometric, physical, and thermal values; having access to an electronic database of material composition values, a program which through onboard micro-computing or connection to external computing resources, generates a three-dimensional thermo physical model of the irregular shaped food object to be cooked, relating obtained values as to retrieve essential heat conduction variables to render an accurate cook time. The machine and system, once integrated inside a thermally insulated chamber, or in communication with a thermally insulated chamber through an IoT communication platform can, once cook time is calculated, receive feedback from user through a display—this feedback assists in ensuring accurate precision of cooking time by slightly changing the individual users machine to account for irregular variables in the system.

Abstract: A sliding fenestration sash assembly includes a sliding sash and a frame having a first longitudinal member including at least one aperture. A pin is operatively connected to a handle and movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The pin is biased toward the first longitudinal member by a biasing member. The pin being biased into the aperture by the biasing member when the pin is aligned with the aperture.
