  • Patent number: 8499495
    Abstract: A drive mechanism for a door operator comprises a drive member and a driven member. The drive member is adapted to be operably connected between a motor assembly for rotating the drive member and a door closer assembly rotating with the driven member. The drive member and the driven member both include a protrusion. The driven member protrusion moves in the free space defined by driving surfaces of the drive member protrusion. Rotation of the drive member from a first angular orientation to a second angular orientation causes rotation of the driven member for powered opening of the door. The driven member protrusion moves in the free space without engaging the protrusion surfaces when the door is opened manually and allowed to close.

  • Patent number: 8156671
    Abstract: A photoluminescent member is provided for an exit device. The photoluminescent member comprises a housing member for mounting to the exterior surface of the exit device. The housing member includes a photoluminescent portion for being energized by exposure to an ambient light source and operable to automatically emit visible light photoluminescently for a substantial period of time in low ambient light or dark conditions and without being energized by an electrical current so that the photoluminescent portion provides illumination to identify the exit device in the low ambient light or dark conditions for providing a visual cue directing a person to a location of the exit device.

  • Patent number: 8109038
    Abstract: A drive mechanism is provided for a door operator, comprising a drive member and a driven member. The drive member includes a protrusion, the edges of the protrusion forming first and second driving surfaces which define a free space of at least about 90° there between. The driven member includes a protrusion, the sides of the protrusion form a first and a second driven surface, respectively. The drive member is adapted to be operably connected to between a motor assembly for rotating the drive member and a door closer assembly rotating with the driven member. The drive member and the driven member are disposed for relative rotation in substantially the same plane such that the driven member protrusion moves in the free space defined by the driving surfaces of the drive member protrusion.

  • Publication number: 20080184078
    Abstract: A method of manipulating a configuration file for a network switch is described. The method comprises generating a difference list based on a comparison of an existing configuration file and a new configuration file for a network switch. The method further comprises executing commands from the generated difference list to configure the network switch and generating a revised configuration file based on the new configuration file and the existing configuration file.

  • Publication number: 20050133172
    Abstract: A process for deinking paper being recycled in a carbonate pulping procedure which is performed in the absence of hydroxides and peroxides is improved by the addition of (a) a non-ionic surfactant deinking agent having a cloud point of about 55 to 85, preferably 60-70, and (b) at least two different fatty acid ink collectors: (i) a C16 to C20 fatty acid and (ii) a C22 to C30 fatty acid, the ink collectors being used in a weight ratio of from about 98:2 to 70:30.
