  • Patent number: 10816223
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed of a radiator temperature control apparatus for controlling the heat output of a radiator. The radiator temperature control apparatus may include an airtight enclosure around the air outlet of the radiator air vent, an adjustable opening in the airtight enclosure controlled by an actuator, and a controller connected to the actuator. In operation, the controller can be configured to open the adjustable opening in the airtight enclosure allowing air in the radiator to be expelled through the adjustable opening, thereby allowing steam to enter the radiator, and heat the room. The controller can be configured to close the adjustable opening, stopping air from being expelled from the radiator, thereby stopping additional steam from entering the radiator.

  • Publication number: 20140210327
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved hardware system for guiding a closure flap (200) of a furniture piece. The hardware system according to the invention comprises a damping unit (120, 122) that is embedded in an end region (100) of a hardware body (100) in the hardware body (100) or substantially parallel to an end region of a guide slot (110) in a side wall of the furniture piece. A guide pin (210a) arranged in a side region of the closure flap (200) can be brought into contact with the damping unit (120, 122) and a weight tome of the closure flap exercised via the guide pin (210a) can be applied to the damping unit (120, 122) across a damping distance when the closure flap (200) is transferred into an end position, and in, doing so exercises a counter-force on the guide pin (210a), said force being lower than the weight-force exercised by the guide pin (210a) on the damping unit (120, 122).
