A device that either opens or closes the rear door of a vehicle depending upon the specific vocal commands of a user.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for park-assist based on vehicle door open positions. An example vehicle includes a door, a door sensor, a range-detection sensor, and a controller. The controller is to determine, via the door sensor, a preferred angle of an occupant for opening the door and detect, via the range-detection sensor, a spot that is unoccupied. The controller also is to predict a maximum angle for opening the door within the spot. The example vehicle also includes an autonomy unit to perform park-assist into the spot responsive to the maximum angle equaling or exceeding the preferred angle.

A control arrangement (20) is disclosed for an entrance system (10) having one or more movable door members (D1 . . . Dm) and an automatic door operator (30) for causing movements of the one or more movable door members (D1 . . . Dm) between closed and open positions. The control arrangement (20) has a controller (32) and one or more sensor units (S1 . . . Sn), each sensor unit being connected to the controller (32) and being arranged to monitor a respective zone (Z1 . . . Zn) at the entrance system (10) for presence or activity of a person or object. At least one sensor unit of said one or more sensor units (S1 . . . Sn) is an image-based sensor unit (300) which has an image sensor (310) arranged for capturing an image of an external object (380) when presented at the image-based sensor unit (300), a memory (330) arranged for storing a plurality of settings (340-1, . . . , 340-n) for the image-based sensor unit, and a processing device (320) operatively connected with the image sensor (310) and the memory (330). The processing device (320) is arranged for processing the image captured by the image sensor (310) to identify a machine-readable optical code (360) therein, deriving at least one configuration instruction (370-1; 370-2; 370-3) encoded by the optical code, and executing the derived configuration instruction.

The present invention relates to a door operator (1) and to a method performed in a door operator system (100) comprising a door operator (1) connected to and arranged to move at least one door leaf (5) between an open and closed position, the door operator (1) comprising a control unit (3) configured to control the movement of the at least one door leaf (5), the method comprising: obtaining (S100), in a sleep mode of the door operator system (100), a sequence of input data in one or more components of the door operator (1) or the at least one door leaf (5), receiving (S110), in the control unit (3) of the door operator (1), said sequence of input data from the one or more components, and evaluating (S120) said sequence of input data and ranking (S130) the probability of that said sequence of input data corresponds to an intrusion attempt on the door operator system (100).

The present invention includes a system for protect a vehicle from damage. Specifically, a non-marking protector is attached to a garage door arm to prevent damage that may occur when the rear lift hatch of a vehicle is opened and makes contact with the garage door arm. The rear lift hatch will contact one or more non-marking protectors instead, thereby ensuring no damage is caused.

Disclosed is a new compact clamp for sliding glass doors, which includes two jaws, left jaw and right jaw. One of the jaws has a damper formed by a double-effect damper with gas and oil technology, using a cylinder containing a front gas chamber and a rear gas chamber which are located at the ends of the cylinder, and a central oil tank, the gas chambers and the oil tank being separated by a blind piston and an annular piston, which are both leak tight. In the central oil tank is disposed a non-leak tight damping piston that is connected to a rod of the damper and divides the tank into two oil chambers.

A pick-up truck includes a pick-up bed, a tailgate connected to the pick-up bed, a motor configured to move the tailgate along a path, a camera, and processors. The processors stop the tailgate while the tailgate is automatically moving in response to detecting, via the camera, any object within the path,

A device for opening and closing a movable furniture part such as a drawer, door or shutter, includes a push-out unit having at least one push-out element and a rechargeable energy storage element connected to the push-out element via a coupler, such that when the movable furniture part is pushed a specified or definable distance into the energy storage element, stored energy can be made available as kinetic energy in order to eject the movable furniture part. The coupler comprises a lever system with a plurality of levers connected to each other in an articulated manner via levers.

Touch sensor apparatus for use with vehicles are disclosed. A disclosed touch sensor assembly for a vehicle gate includes a sensor configured to operatively couple to the vehicle gate. The touch sensor assembly also includes a cover having a tubular body that extends over the sensor and ribs interposed between the tubular body and the sensor. At least one of the ribs is configured to transfer a load from the tubular body to the sensor to change a state of the sensor.
