Abstract: A pneumatic manifold with internal and external porting is machined in a specific sequence for pressurized and exhausting air control. Electro-pneumatic valves and or blocking plates are fastened and sealed to the positions of exterior porting. The electro-pneumatic valves complete the pneumatic circuit already machined in the manifold. Electro-pneumatic valves can be added or removed depending on the required functions. Other exterior ports on the manifold allow for but are not limited to connection of a pressure transducer, exterior pilot feeds, individual open/close speed controls, individual secondary slow down speed controls for open and close. The manifold allows the mounting of three electro-pneumatic valves wherein each valve controls a certain specific sequential function. When used with a compatible means of electronic control, the manifold can replace most pneumatic control devices driving a pneumatic actuator for the purpose of moving an access mechanism, such as a garage door.

Abstract: A garage door position sensing system and devices includes an encoder assembly installed on a movable barrier door drive assembly, wherein the shaft associated with the barrier door drive assembly is positioned through a shaft interfacing portion of the encoder assembly and the shaft is operatively connected to the toothed pulley of the encoder assembly. A quadrature sensor is mounted within the encoder assembly, such that the sensing head of the sensor is fixed at a pre-determined distance from the teeth of the pulley. When the door moves from an open position to a closed position, and vice-versa, the pulley is rotated accordingly in response to the application of upward or downward forces on the shaft. The encoder assembly can be installed on any existing moveable barrier door and functions as a pneumatic door operator for sensing the position of travel without the need to use any mechanical switches.
