Electric Device Can Open & Close Doors

  • 03/01/97

The Auto-Equalizer is an electrically powered device that opens interior and exterior doors at the touch of a button. It can help schools comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by improving access to classrooms or other facilities. 

A unique ìbreak awayî function protects the operator, door and frame if someone tries to force the door closed while in the opening phase. If the door meets any resistance during the opening swing, the Auto-Equalizer pauses for a few seconds then tries to open the door again; if resistance persists, it will pause then close the door. 

A sophisticated ìsoft-startî motor control prevents a ìjack- rabbitî jerking action that wears down drive components. LCN, Princeton, IL, (800) 526-2400.

    California AI Watermarking Bill Supported by OpenAI

    OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
