  • Patent number: 11078706
    Abstract: The method of door control without, hand contact, wherein, when the door leaf is in its stationary closed position, all the energy necessary for automatic opening and subsequent closing the door leaf, initiated by an actuating force, preferably realized by means of a foot lever, is accumulated in an opening and closing mechanism during the actuating action of the controlling mechanism. During the automatic opening, the only acting force is the tension of the opening member, and during the subsequent automatic closing, the only acting force is the tension of the closing member. By means of the bimodal opening and closing mechanism, the tensions of these two members act separately, not against each other.

  • Patent number: 10323960
    Abstract: A method of making a machine system includes assembling sensing elements with a sensor frame, and contacting ferrite cores of the sensing elements with a locating tool to conform an arrangement of the sensing elements to a cylindrical shape of a surface of the locating tool. The sensing elements are secured to the sensor frame in the determined arrangement, and coupled with a housing of a machine system to monitor position of a rotatable component therein. The ferrite cores may be E-type cores, with bridge connections used to sensitize the sensing mechanism to displacement of a rotatable component in X, Y, and Z directions.
