Abstract: A door system comprises a door panel, a support member, and a pivoting vertical plate. The door panel comprises a plurality of discrete rigid insulation pieces interposed between flexible layers. An outer skin encompasses the rigid insulation pieces and the flexible layers. The door panel is secured to the support member by the outer skin, such that the outer skin bears the weight of the door panel. The vertical plate is secured to a trailing side of the door panel. The vertical plate includes keepers that selectively engage hooks extending from a casing positioned at a doorway. The rigidity of the door panel depends on the pivotal position of the vertical plate relative to a plane defined by the door panel. The door panel provides sufficient flexibility to withstand impacts from objects and vehicles yet also provides sufficient rigidity to insulate a cold environment from a warm environment.

Abstract: A door system for a cold storage locker includes resilient door panels that flex and have increased resistance to damage when hit by a forklift. A high degree of insulation is achieved by the choice and thickness of the resilient foams therein. Also, the resilient door panels are magnetically attracted to a gasket seal on a doorframe to provide an affirmative seal. Active magnetic control may enhance the attraction or repulsion of the door panel. Frost control is realized by warming air from the cold storage locker and passing it through air channels in the door panel proximate to the gasket seal and down an astragal interface between door panels. Door panels of laminate, bagged poured foam formation, and self-skinning foam formation further reduce the cost of manufacture and shipping.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) portal easily installs and integrates any RFID hardware/software systems. The RFID portal may match the size of a traditional dock or be custom sized. The portal takes advantage of a variety of unique features including an antenna bracket that provides for three-dimensional vertical and horizontal movements and a hardware independent reader bracket. The antenna movement capabilities allow for excellent RFID signal coverage. A General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) bridge enables rapid integration and functionality to other RFID inputs such as Motion Detectors/Photo Eyes, Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), Wireless Networking, floor loops, mass detectors, and output signals, such as to light stacks and RFID readers.

Abstract: A top-supported sliding door system or a vertically sliding door system achieves an enhanced air seal with a lateral keeper mechanism on either or both of the trailing and leading edges. On an outward lateral edge of a door panel, a keeper projects inwardly toward the door frame to engage a door frame camming surface such as a pin. The bracket may advantageously disengage under a force indicative of impact in order to minimize damage resulting therefrom. Application of the lateral keeper mechanism may further be used on vertically sliding doors and on multi-panel horizontal sliding doors. In addition, a rail may extend from the angled pin to engage the keeper throughout the full travel of the door panel.
