  • Patent number: 12183144
    Abstract: A door system is provided. The door system includes: a corridor sized to allow humans to move through the corridor, the corridor defined, at least in part by side walls, the corridor having a first end and a second end; a first door located at the first end, the first door configured to provide selective access between the corridor and a space outside of the corridor; a second door located at the second end, the second door configured to provide selective access between the corridor and a space outside of the corridor; and sensors configured to determine a direction of movement within the corridor, the sensors operatively connected to at least one of the first and second doors to cause at least one of the first and second doors to move to a closed position if any of the sensors detect a movement further than a threshold amount in an undesired direction.

  • Publication number: 20240096159
    Abstract: A door system includes a corridor sized to allow humans to move through the corridor, the corridor having a first door located at a first end; a second door located at the second end; a controller operatively connected to the first and second doors for controlling the first and second doors; a first sensor oriented to detect an object on the floor, the first sensor operatively connected to the controller and a second sensor oriented to detect an object above the floor in the corridor wherein the second sensor is operatively connected to the controller and the controller is configured to one of: a) turn off the second sensor when the first sensor detects an object on the floor and b) not respond when the second sensor detects and object above the floor when the first sensor detects and object on the floor.
