ADAPTIVE ULTRASOUND DETECTING SYSTEM FOR A DOOR ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. An adaptive ultrasound detecting system for a door assembly, the door assembly being for closing a door entrance and including a door movable along a path;
- the system comprising;
an ultrasound transducer assembly mounted to the door assembly adapted to emit at least one ultrasound detecting beam within the door path, to receive an echo indicative of a body located within the door path when the body intersects one of the at least one ultrasound detecting beam, and to trigger a detecting signal indicative of the body within the door path;
a controller coupled to the ultrasound transducer assembly adapted for receiving information indicative of a position of the door along the path, and for varying the emitting at least one detecting beam in accordance to the position of the door relative to the at least one detecting beam.

Abstract
Embodiments of an adaptive ultrasound detecting system for a door assembly include an ultrasound transducer assembly mounted to the door assembly and a controller coupled to the ultrasound transducer assembly. The ultrasound transducer assembly is adapted to emit ultrasound detecting beams within the door path, and to trigger a detecting signal indicative of a body located within the door path when the body intersects at least one of the ultrasound detecting beams. The controller is adapted to receive information indicative of a position of the door along the path, and to vary emitting at least one detecting beam in accordance to the position of the door relative to the ultrasound detecting beams.
