A dual-opening panoramic sunroof may include front glass which slides forward and rearward by being connected with a front sled that is slidable forward and rearward along a mechanism rail, a rear glass which slides forward and rearward by being connected with a rear sled, a front timing plate which has a rear end rotatably coupled to the rear sled, and a front end formed with a front groove to accommodate a portion of the front sled, and selectively connects the front sled and the rear sled, a rear tilt lever which is disposed rearward of the mechanism rail, and a rear timing plate which has a rear end rotatably coupled to the rear tilt sled, and a front end formed with a rear groove formed to selectively accommodate a portion of the rear sled, and connects the rear sled and the rear tilt sled.

A vehicle display assembly includes a three-dimensional (3D) display, and an actuator coupled to the 3D display. The actuator is configured to adjust an orientation of the 3D display relative to a vehicle occupant. The vehicle display assembly also includes a sensor assembly configured to monitor a position of a head of the vehicle occupant, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor assembly and to the actuator. The controller is configured to instruct the actuator to adjust the orientation of the 3D display based on the position of the head of the vehicle occupant.

An apparatus is provided with a first sensor unit that obtains two-dimensional information or three-dimensional information about a target object with a first position and orientation, a second sensor unit that obtains the two-dimensional information about the target object, a three-dimensional position and orientation measurement unit that measures three-dimensional position and orientation of the target object based on the information obtained by the first sensor unit, a second sensor position and orientation determination unit that calculates second position and orientation based on a measurement result with the three-dimensional position and orientation measurement unit and model information about the target object, and a three-dimensional position and orientation measurement unit that measures the three-dimensional position and orientation of the target object based on the information obtained by the second sensor unit with the second position and orientation and the model information about the target object.

The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine (14) of a motor vehicle (10), in that the internal combustion engine (14) is started using a remote start unit (18) for wireless reception of a remote start signal (R) and afterwards is monitored by a shutdown unit (36) to determine whether a shutdown condition is fulfilled. When appropriate, the internal combustion engine (14) is shutdown again. A radio key device (26) of the motor vehicle (10) is designed to detect a radio key presence in a passenger compartment (28) of the motor vehicle (10) using a key scan and to signal a radio key presence by means of a key presence signal (A). The problem addressed by the invention is to adapt the subsequent shutdown of the internal combustion engine (14) more flexibly to the position of the driver following a remote start. The shutdown condition comprises for this purpose that the key presence signal (A) must have been inactive for a predefined minimum time period. A presence of a person in the passenger compartment (28) is detected by a monitoring device (32) by means of a sensor unit (24, 38, 40 42) and, upon detecting the presence of a person, at least one key scan is triggered at at least one predefined time by means of a control signal (P).

There is provided a hybrid vehicle that suppresses the driver from feeling slow. At the time of a predetermined request that requires fuel injection of an engine in the state of motoring the engine under fuel cutting by a first motor at a rotation speed that is higher than an upper limit rotation speed during fuel injection of the engine, the hybrid vehicle waits until the rotation speed of the engine becomes equal to or lower than the upper limit rotation speed and then starts fuel injection of the engine. At the time of the predetermined request, the hybrid vehicle causes the rotation speed of the engine to be decreased by the first motor until the rotation speed of the engine becomes equal to or lower than the upper limit rotation speed.

Mowing systems include a mower and, optionally, a remote control unit such as a handheld unit, between which may be provided 1- or 2-way communications. Components and features are included in the mower, the remote control unit, or both to enhance the safety, functionality, or user experience of the system's user/operator. One aspect relates to monitoring a tilt angle of the mower, and defining or executing different system responses as a function of different first and second conditions that relate to the tilt angle. Another aspect relates to automatic adjustment of a speed setting of the mower's drive system as a function of a power takeoff (PTO) unit of the mower.

The present invention is related to a control system for controlling the movement of an aerial apparatus, in particular for controlling a turnable ladder of a firefighting vehicle, comprising a manually operable input device that is deflectable in at least one spatial direction by a deflecting force, an processing unit for converting the amount of deflection of the input device into a corresponding speed signal and an actuating unit for moving the aerial apparatus with a speed corresponding to the speed signal. The invention is characterized by determining means for determining a possible maximum speed and restricting means for counteracting or limiting the deflection of the input device according to the determined possible maximum speed.

Processes for real-time drag optimization control for aeroelastic wing structures are disclosed. Adaptive reconfiguration of aircraft control surfaces by an online real-time drag optimization control approach to reduce or minimize drag may reduce the amount of fuel that is consumed by the aircraft during flight. The input data may be obtained from sensor information pertaining to the wing deflection and aircraft state information. The optimization approach may compute an optimal solution of the distributed flight control surface deflections that are integrated in a flight path angle flight control system.
