An e-latch assembly and method for operating for a closure panel of a vehicle, the closure panel operable between an open state and a closed state. The e-latch assembly is configured to control via an open command to operate an electric motor of the e-latch assembly in order to change a state of the electric motor during a latch release operation from a motor home position to a motor open position; and to control via a a reset command to change the state from the motor open position to the motor home position by controlling the reset command only when one or more sensors indicate a position of at least one of the closure panel or a ratchet or a pawl of the e-latch assembly reflecting the closure panel returning from the open state to the closed state.

An inner lock of a door of a container is provided, in which the door of the container includes: a plurality of locking rods installed on an outer side of the door; a handle formed on the locking rods; a retainer which is coupled to the door and on which the handle is seated; and a handle hatch which is rotatably coupled to an upper side of the retainer and binds or releases the handle, and the inner lock includes a rotation shaft passed through the door and extended to an inner side and an outer side of the container; a plate coupled to the rotation shaft extended to the inner side; a lifting member rotatably coupled to the plate; and a locking bar coupled to a lower side of the lifting member to lock or unlock the door by being fixed to or separated from a lower frame, in which the handle hatch is coupled to the rotation shaft extended to the outer side such that the locking bar is manipulated by rotating the rotation shaft from the outer side of the door.

A system for preventing a door of a vehicle from opening into an object includes a detection module configured to identify an object within a danger zone of the vehicle and detect the opening of the door. The system further includes a locking mechanism coupled to the detection module and configured to lock the door in a partially open position if the object is identified within the danger zone and the opening of the door is detected.

A verification system for a vehicle latch is provided. The system includes a switch operable to determine if a vehicle door is ajar. The system also includes a cam operatively coupled to a power release mechanism that actuates movement of the vehicle latch between an opened and closed position, the cam in operable contact with the switch, the switch also determining if the vehicle latch is in a fully reset condition or an un-reset condition.

A vehicle door lock device includes: a remote control device that is provided in the middle of an operation transmitting system between a lock device, which binds a door of a vehicle such that the door becomes not able to move, and a door handle, in which a connection member that absorbs an excessive operation force by being elastically deformed in a direction in which the operation force is transmitted is interposed between a transmitting member that transmits an operation force input to the door handle and an input lever on the remote control device side to which the operation force is input via the transmitting member.

A door closing apparatus including a camera with at least four pins, a first arm including a first open slot and a first arc slot, the first open slot rotatably supporting a first pin of the at least four pins of the camera and the first arc slot rotatably supporting a second pin of the at least four pins of the camera, and a second arm including a second open slot and a second arc slot, the second open slot rotatably supporting a third pin of the at least four pins of the camera and the second arc slot rotatably supporting a fourth pin of the at least four pins of the camera. The first arm and the second arm are configured to rotate about a first axis allowing the camera to rotate about the first axis as well as about a second axis of the at least four pins.

A lock-out protection system of a vehicle is configured for use with a portable transceiver, the vehicle having an interior and doors configured to open and close to facilitate ingress to and egress from the interior and being lockable and unlockable upon issuance of corresponding commands, and the transceiver configured to send and receive signals. The system can include a processor configured to, upon receipt of a door lock command when a door is in open position and then moved to closed position: determine presence or absence of the transceiver inside the vehicle interior and outside the vehicle interior; and issue a door unlock command if the processor determines that the transceiver is absent both inside the vehicle interior and outside the vehicle interior.
