    Abstract: A sensor for an anti-entrapment system of a vehicle for preventing an object within an opening of the vehicle defined by a movable panel from being pinched by the movable panel includes a seal adapted to be mounted to a portion of the vehicle, an electrically conductive mounting carrier disposed in the seal and having a formed shape and operable to detect the object in the path of the movable panel and to generate a pinch sensor signal indicative of the object either touching the seal or in close proximity to the seal, and a controller for monitoring the electrically conductive mounting carrier, wherein the controller controls the movable panel to prevent the movable panel from pinching the object in response to the pinch sensor signal.

    Abstract: A movement assistance and stowage device for a spa cover that is movable relative to a spa opening from a first position at least partially occluding the spa opening, to a second position removed from the spa opening and stowed adjacent the spa body and, when stowed, the spa cover is not substantially above an upper peripheral edge of the spa body, the movement assistance and stowage device providing a mounting body secured to a side portion of the spa body and carrying a pivoting lever arm and a pivoting control lever arm, and both pivoting arms are connected to, and extend between, the mounting body and a channel bracket on a lateral peripheral edge of the spa cover, and pneumatic cylinders extend between the mounting body and lever arm to provide mechanical advantage and control to movement and stowage of the spa cover.

    Abstract: A powered garage door pivots about a fixed pivot axis extending from the one side edge to the other side edge beneath the top edge of the door panel, such that when moving from the closed position to an opened position the top edge moves rearwardly while the bottom edge moves forwardly. A front top header finishing plate is fixed so as to extend downwardly from the header in front of and beneath the top edge of the door panel. An inclinometer sensor is secured to the door panel, sensing the angle of the door panel as it pivots between closed and opened positions. Hydraulic cylinders are controlled by the electronic controller based on the inclinometer signal, and a graphical user interface allows the user to set both zone sizes (based on inclination angle) and zone speeds, independently for opening and closing.

    Abstract: It is described herein a venting apparatus for an opening in a roof. The venting apparatus for an opening in a roof may comprise a structural frame, an adapter, a mount, a hinge, and a latch. The adapter may comprise a frame adapter section, a lip extending inwardly from a portion of the frame adapter section inner surface, and a protrusion extending upwardly from the lip. The frame adapter section may be configured to fit around an outer surface of the structural frame while the mount may be configured to fit around an outer surface of the protrusion. The latch may be configured to receive a signal from a device when the device detects the presence of smoke within the building to cause the latch to change from a latch closed position to a latch opened position.
