Abstract: A movable barrier operator having improved safety and energy efficiency features automatically detects line voltage frequency and uses that information to set a worklight shut-off time. The operator automatically detects the type of door (single panel or segmented) and uses that information to set a maximum speed of door travel. The operator moves the door with a linearly variable speed from start of travel to stop for smooth and quiet performance. The operator provides for full door closure by driving the door into the floor when the DOWN limit is reached and no auto-reverse condition has been detected. The operator provides for user selection of a minimum stop speed for easy starting and stopping of sticky or binding doors.

Abstract: A garage door operator has an electric motor controlled by a control unit. A transmission is connected to the motor to be driven thereby to open and close a garage door. An infrared obstacle detector is connected to the control unit and includes a unitary infrared pulse emitter and an infrared detector. A missing pulse detector is coupled to the infrared detector to generate a door opening signal if the door is closing when the pulses are absent due to the infrared being interrupted by an obstacle or not having been generated. The control unit receives the door opening signal and causes the electric motor to open the garage door.

Abstract: A garage door opening system comprises a receiver which is responsive both to security codes in a first format from existing transmitters and to security codes in a new and more secure format from new transmitters. The old format comprises a synchronization character and ten code words and the new code format advantageously comprises twenty code words with a new synchronization character between the tenth and eleventh code words. The receiver determines from the received synchronization codes the type of format being received and compares the received code words with stored permitted code words of the same type. When a match occurs, an activation signal is generated.

Abstract: A garage door opening and closing apparatus having improved operational safety is disclosed. The apparatus includes a control circuit which responds to a number of input stimuli to generate commands to open and close a garage door as well as to stop garage door movement. Three relays respond to the commands via drive circuitry to actually connect door operating voltages to the windings of a door controlling motor. By redundancies in the operation of the three relays, faults in the operation of those relays result in safe door operating conditions. Additionally, the control circuitry upon issuing a door stop command, performs a test to determine whether or not the door is still moving. If the door is still moving, door up commands are generated by the control circuitry to place the door in a safe position.

Abstract: A digital radio control system comprising a transmitter and receiver wherein a plurality of two position switches may be set in a transmitter to pick a particular code which will be serially transmitted by the transmitter and in which a plurality of switches in a receiver may be set to a particular code such that if the same code is selected in the receiver as is set in the transmitter the receiver will be energized upon recognition of the code. Such transmitters and receivers are adaptable to many applications, as for example, garage door actuators; and due to the large number of possible code combinations, interference between other control units within radio frequency range will not occur.
