  • Publication number: 20260024393
    Abstract: Interactive panels are used to display information to one or more users that are interacting with the interactive panels. One or more detection devices (e.g., sensors, communication devices, or the like) detect that users may be located near the interactive panels. The information displayed to the users may be any type of information, such as user information, product information, entity information, area information, or other like information. The interactive panels may be used in any type of barrier, such as doors, walls, fee-standing structures within or outside of a building, adaptable panels that are moveable, or the like. The interactive panels may have energy harvesting layers that at least partially aid in powering the interactive panels and/or components thereof.

  • Publication number: 20250327355
    Abstract: A cladded door apparatuses having cladding coupled to a door such that during a fire the cladding falls off and/or away from the door such that the door may meet fire ratings. One or more adhesive connectors (e.g., adhesive tape, adhesive sealant, or the like) may be used to couple the cladding directly, or through the use of one or more cladding support members (e.g., rods, panels, or the like), to the door. The cladding may be held a particular distance, or a range of distances, away from the door and/or the door frame to optimize the operation of the cladded door apparatus. The use of the adhesive connectors, the cladding support members, and/or the installation thereof, allows for the proper connection of the cladding to the door during normal operation, but allows the cladding to be uncoupled from the door during a fire.

  • Publication number: 20250305354
    Abstract: A door assembly provides EMC shielding to provide EMI/RFI protection. The door assembly has an EMC door frame, an EMC door, and EMC seals for maintaining a circuit between the door frame, the floor (e.g., threshold, flooring, etc.), and/or the door. The door assembly may also utilize one or more EMC elements (e.g., EMC tape, paint, adhesive, coatings, caulk, etc.) that may be used to create the circuits between the components of the door assembly and/or with other components of the building (e.g., between the door frame and the wall). The EMC shielding is used to reduce (e.g., limit, block, etc.) the levels of electrogenic interference (EMI)/radio frequency interference (RFI) radiation that is able to pass by the shielding. Moreover, the door assembly also provides improve additional door assembly performance (e.g., sound, weather, air flow, heat, cold, or the like abatement, energy harvesting, or other performance benefits).

  • Patent number: 12366107
    Abstract: Door systems having a vision light system that provides resistance to and protection from the elements, such as but not limited to physical impacts (e.g., penetration from projectiles), protection from fire, protection from fluid penetration, or the like. The vision light systems may be customizable in order to provide different protection rating levels depending on the requirements of the structures in which vision light systems will be used. Moreover, the vision light systems may use a light insert having a first restraining member, a second restraining member, and a vision light secured between the first restraining member and the second restraining member. The light insert allows for the ease of replacement of the vision light within the vision light system when the vision light is damaged or the vision light requires upgrading or downgrading of the desired level of protection of the vision light.

  • Patent number: 12281518
    Abstract: Composite door systems are provided for use in a protective barrier structure. The composite door systems provide for quick assembly, safety, security, and resistance to physical impacts or threats. The composite door systems may include a shell and a core that can be factory completed or finished on site. The shell may be shipped to the assembly location of the barrier structure, and the core may be formed on site by pouring liquid fill material into a cavity of the shell, which is allowed to cure into a solid fill material. Hardware housings may be operatively coupled to the shell that are made to receive door hardware but resist the liquid full material from filling the hardware housings. The shell, core, and/or hardware housings may provide resistance to damage, such as projectiles to provide enhanced security protection to the occupants or contents of the building structure.
