    Abstract: A system, method, and computer storage configured for determining period-ending positions of multiple parts movable by select actuation of corresponding active materials. The operations include receiving, from a work-source sensor, work-source input indicating a distance moved by the work source and a direction of the movement, and determining, based on the work-source input and a first and second status histories, corresponding to a first and a second part, respectively, first and second distances travelled by the parts, respectively. Operations also include calculating, based on the first and second distances determined and first and second period-starting positions, corresponding to the first and second parts, respectively, first and second period-ending positions for the first and second parts, respectively.

    Abstract: A damping device for movable furniture parts includes a base, a movable member defining a path, a housing movably connected to the path and including a space and an opening which communicates with the space, a damper located in the space and including a cylinder and a piston rod which has one end inserted into the cylinder and the other end of the piston rod extends from the cylinder, a first threaded member connected to the cylinder including, a second threaded member connected to the first threaded member and located corresponding to the opening of the housing, an adjustment member movably connected between the base and the movable member. When rotating the second threaded member, a distance between the housing and the movable member is adjusted. When the adjustment member is adjusted, the relative distance between the base and the movable member is adjusted.

    Abstract: Hinge assembly (1) for household appliances (2) having an horizontally-pivoted front door (4), and which comprises: a first coupling element (6) structured for being firmly fixed to the household appliance casing (3); a second coupling element (7) structured for being firmly fixed to the front-door body (4), and which is pivotally jointed to the first coupling element (6) so as to be able to rotate about a given articulation axis (R), between a first working position wherein the front door (4) is arranged in the raised position, and a second working position wherein the front door (4) is arranged in the completely lowered position; and a door-weight balancing device (9) which is interposed between the first (6) and the second coupling element (7) and is structured to elastically hamper rotation of the second coupling element (7) at least from the first to the second working position; the door-weight balancing device (9) in turn comprising a supporting rod (10) which extends in sliding manner through a supporting portion (11) of the first coupling element (6); a compression-preloaded elastically-deformable member (12) which is fitted to the supporting rod (10) so as to have a first end (12a) firmly fixed to the distal end (10a) of the supporting rod (10) and a second end (12b) in abutment against the supporting portion (11) of the first coupling element (6); a linking mechanism (13) which connects the proximal end (10b) of the supporting rod (10) to the second coupling element (7), so that the supporting rod (10) is axially moved to further compress the elastically-deformable member (12) when the second coupling element (7) rotates from the first to the second working position; and finally an adjustable spacer element (14) which is interposed between the second end (12b) of the elastically-deformable member (12) and the supporting portion (11) of the first coupling element (6), and it is structured so to allow a manually-operated adjustment, between a lower value and a higher value, of the distance (h) between the second end (12b) of the elastically-deformable member (12) and the supporting portion (11) of the first coupling element (6), thus varying the compression preload of the elastically-deformable member (12) fitted on the supporting rod (10).

    Abstract: An adjustable glide apparatus is for a sliding panel to slide along a track between open and closed positions. The adjustable glide apparatus comprises a housing defining a cavity with at least one receiver disposed within the cavity. An adjustment stem has an end that has a thread and is disposed within the cavity. A cam is coupled to the receiver for moving the receiver relative to the housing. The cam comprises a plurality of teeth for engaging the thread to rotate the cam as the adjustment stem is rotated thereby moving the receiver relative. A glide is coupled to the receiver and comprises a contact surface. The contact surface is adapted for sliding engagement with the track to slide the sliding panel between the open and the closed positions. A distance between the contact surface and the housing is adjusted as the receiver is moved by the cam.
