A closure system including a curtain configured to seal an opening, a wireless network having a plurality of channels, at least one transmitter coupled to the curtain and configured to communicate over the plurality of channels, and an operator operatively coupled to the curtain and configured to communicate over the plurality of channels, the operator and the at least one transmitter configured to communicate with each other over a selected one of the plurality of channels based upon communication interference detected on one or more channels.

Closure system and method thereof

In example implementations, a method is provided. The method includes determining, by a processor, that a vehicle is approaching a door of a building based on a velocity vector of the vehicle, calculating, by the processor, a time of arrival of the vehicle at the door based on the velocity vector of the vehicle and a distance of the vehicle from the door, and controlling, by the processor, the door to begin opening at a time based on the time of arrival and an amount of time for the door to open such that the door is opened when the vehicle arrives at the door.

Apparatus and method for door control

In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a connection interface, a LAN interface, a WAN interface, and a processor. The connection interface is to connect to a PCB of a door controller. The LAN interface is to communicate with a plurality of door sensors. The WAN interface is to communicate with a remote server of a service provider. The processor is communicatively coupled to the connection interface, the LAN interface, and the WAN interface. The processor is to receive door data from the plurality of door sensors via the LAN interface, transmit the door data to the remote server for analysis, receive a correction action from the remote server in response to the door data that is transmitted, and execute the corrective action on a door of the plurality of doors via the LAN interface.

Communication interface device for wireless door controllers

In example implementations, a door monitoring sensor is provided. The door monitoring sensor includes a communication interface to transmit an alarm when a door operates outside of operational parameters of the door, an angular sensor to measure rotational movement of the a door, a movement sensor to detect movement along an x-y-z coordinate plane, a radar sensor to detect an object, a rechargeable power supply to provide power to the angular sensor, the movement sensor, and the radar sensor, and a processor. The processor is communicatively coupled to the communication interface, the angular sensor, the movement sensor, and the radar sensor. The processor is to determine that the door is moving outside of the operational parameters of the door and generate the alarm that is transmitted by the communication interface in response to determination that the door is moving outside of the operational parameters of the door.

Door monitoring system and method

In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a connection interface, a local area network (LAN) interface, a wide area network (WAN) interface, and a processor. The connection interface is to connect to a printed circuit board (PCB) of a door controller. The LAN interface is to communicate with a plurality of door sensors, wherein each one of the plurality door sensors is to monitor operation of a respective door of a plurality of doors. The WAN interface is to communicate with a remote server of a service provider. The processor is communicatively coupled to the connection interface, the LAN interface, and the WAN interface. The processor is to receive door data from the plurality of door sensors via the LAN interface, transmit the door data to the remote server for analysis via the WAN interface, receive a correction action from the remote server over the WAN interface in response to the door data, and execute the corrective action on a door of the plurality of doors via the LAN interface.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for dispensing an off-gassing liquid product mixed with a diluting product are provided. A liquid product or product solution is moved through an unprimed product line and towards a dispenser. The liquid product is combined with the diluting product to create a solution. The solution is dispensed. The product line is cleared of unused liquid product to unprime the product line after the dispensement of the solution. The unused product may be directed back into a product container from which it was held.

System for handling displacement of liquid products

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for dispensing an off-gassing liquid product mixed with a diluting product are provided. A liquid product or product solution is moved through a primed product line and towards a dispenser. The liquid product is combined with the diluting product to create a solution. The solution is dispensed. Prevention of displacement of the product line is accomplished by redirecting at least a portion of the unused liquid product in the product line to a displacement system operatively attached to the product line and including a secondary container. The stored product may be used with the next dispensement of solution, or emptied in a sanitary manner.

The solution is dispensed. The product line is cleared of unused or displaced liquid product by redirecting at least a portion of the unused or displaced liquid product in the product line to a displacement system operatively attached to the product line. The displacement system includes a check valve including a crack pressure that allows the unused or displaced product to be dispensed back into the product source or a separate, secondary container.

A metering device meters and dispenses of a known volume of a liquid product. The metering device includes a receptacle and a moveable slug sized to fit within the receptacle, leaving a remaining volume within the receptacle equivalent to a desired amount of a liquid product to be dispensed. Application of a vacuum at the outlet end draws the known volume of liquid product out of the receptacle and causes the moveable slug to move from a first position at the inlet end of the receptacle to a second position at the outlet end of the receptacle. At the same time, additional liquid product is drawn in via the inlet aperture. When the vacuum is removed, the slug returns through the additionally drawn-in liquid product back to the first position.
