  • Publication number: 20240126220
    Abstract: A building system including one or more memory devices configured to store instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to collect building device data of a building device, generate a time correlated data stream for a data point, and generate a time correlated reliability data stream for the data point. The building device data includes a plurality of data samples of the data point. The time correlated data stream includes values of the plurality of data samples of the data point. The time correlated reliability data stream includes a plurality of reliability values time correlated to corresponding values of the plurality of data samples of the data point and indicating reliability of the values of the plurality of data samples of the data point.

  • Patent number: 8640384
    Abstract: A sliding fenestration assembly including a panel assembly having at least a primary panel and a secondary panel, where the primary panel is slidable relative to the secondary panel. The assembly further includes an actuator assembly having an actuator. The actuator assembly is coupled with an element, and movement of the actuator causes movement of the element. One or more locking latches are disposed remotely from the actuator, and the two or more locking latches having a locked and unlocked position. The two or more locking latches are coupled with the element and mounted along the primary panel. The actuator assembly is adapted to unlock the two or more locking latches and slide the primary panel.

  • Patent number: 7788851
    Abstract: A window drive mechanism includes a bracket and a cam slide moveably coupled to the bracket. In one option, the bracket is coupled to a window frame. An elongate arm is rotatably coupled to a sash substantially adjacent to a first end of the arm. In one option, the elongate arm is rotatably coupled to the bracket substantially adjacent to a second end of the arm. In another option, the elongate arm is moveably coupled to the cam slide between the first end and the second end. An actuator arm is coupled to the cam slide and operable to move the cam slide. A method for making a window assembly optionally includes providing a window frame and coupling a window drive mechanism to the window frame.

  • Patent number: 7552562
    Abstract: A window or door assembly including a jamb member and a jamb liner having a fastener opening coupled along the jamb member. A sash is moveably coupled along the jamb liner. The window or door assembly includes a structural filler coupled over a portion of the jamb liner, and the structural filler substantially conceals the fastener opening. The structural filler includes a flange sized and shaped to engage with the sash, and the flange substantially prevents movement of the sash over the structural filler. In one option, the flange extends along the structural filler and the sash. The structural filler further includes a contact surface engaged with the jamb liner and a projection rotatably coupled with the jamb liner, and the structural filler rotates in a first direction around the projection.
