Patent number: 8237383Abstract: A door system includes a support connected to a structure, and a door mounted on the support and movable relative to the support between an opened position and a closed position. The door includes a detection device and a remote module coupled to the detection device. The remote module includes a battery and an RF module for supporting two-way communication and sending signals indicative of the status of the detection device and the battery. The door system also includes a motor to drive the door, and a controller to control the motor. The controller includes a user interface and a memory. The door system also includes a base module coupled to the controller for receiving signals from the remote module. The received signals are indicative of the status of the detection device and the battery. The base module also sends signals related to successful transmission acknowledgements to the remote module.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Assa Abloy Entrance Systems ABInventors: William W Shier, Lee H Theusch, Allan B Czubin, Robert J Miller

Patent number: 6944524Abstract: An air flow regulator includes a damper (14) and an air cylinder (20) operatively connected with the damper (14) to adjust a damper setting. A pressure sensor (52) indicates a pneumatic pressure in the air cylinder (20). An air pressure regulator (42) is operatively connected with the air cylinder (20) to pressurize and exhaust the air cylinder (20) responsive to an electrical input (70). The air pressure regulator (42) includes a calibration table (64) associating steady state air cylinder pressure values with regulator shut-off pressure values. Responsive to the electrical input (70) updating a steady-state air cylinder pressure value, the air pressure regulator (42) pressurizes or exhausts the air cylinder (20) until the pressure sensor (52) indicates a pressure corresponding to a regulator shut-off pressure value associated in the calibration table (64) with the updated steady-state air cylinder pressure value, whereupon the air pressure regulator (42) ceases the pressurizing or exhausting.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2004Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: Marsh Bellofram CorporationInventors: William W. Shier, Lee H. Theusch, James D. Snavley
