Abstract: An operator and related method for adjusting an internal force setting for a motorized garage door operator is disclosed. The operator checks for the presence of a secondary entrapment safety feature and automatically increases a force threshold setting from a first value to a second value if the secondary entrapment safety feature is detected. If the safety feature is not detected or it is later disconnected, then the operator automatically sets the force threshold to a more sensitive value.

Abstract: A number of data collection devices ( 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 ) are free to move relative to each other through their environment, collecting data from their environment. They form an ad hoc wireless network ( 19, 29, 39, 49 , etc) in which data collected by a device ( 20 ) (either by its own sensors ( 23 ), or relayed from another device ( 10 )) is transmitted to a destination ( 90 ) either directly or by means of one or more other devices ( 30 ). The destination ( 90 ) collects data collected by the mobile terminals ( 10, 20, 30 etc) for subsequent processing. The wireless links ( 19, 29, 39 etc) between them have to re-arranged in order to provide the optimum network. Each device ( 20, 30 ) defines a scalar status value determined by factors including remaining battery life and amount of data in the buffer. The devices exchange information about their status values. Each device will only forward payload data to other devices having lower status values than its own.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expanding plug (10), in particular, made from plastic for solid and cavity materials. According to the invention, the expanding plug (10) is embodied with undulate slots (24, 26, 28) in an expanding region (30), which include approximately a quarter of a wave in the longitudinal direction. On fixing in a cavity material, the expanding region (30) is axially compressed, whereby rings form due to the undulate slots (24, 26, 28) which are partly forced radially outwards, such that said rings are formed partly within each other and are located axially one behind the other. A large area support surface is thus formed in a cavity of a cavity material along with a good support of the rings formed on the screwed-in expansion screw with the compression due to the undulate slots (24, 26, 28) which leads to a good fixing of the expanding plug (10) in a cavity of a cavity material or on a board.
