A door opening assembly is provided for moving a door of a vehicle between an open position and a closed position. The assembly includes a frame member coupled to the vehicle, a link is coupled to the frame member, and a link arm pivotally coupled to the link. A pivot arm is pivotally coupled to the frame member and a pivot bracket is pivotally coupled to the door and the pivot arm. The pivot bracket includes a slot such that a pin on the link arm slides therethrough. The assembly includes a gear rack and a gear operably coupled to the gear rack. The gear is driven by a motor as the door moves between its open and closed positions. The assembly further includes a guide track coupled to the vehicle and a roller rotatably driven along the guide track as the door moves between its open and closed positions.

A hinge which can be included on a brace is disclosed. The hinge can include a first arm, a second arm, and a hinge plate. The first and second arms can be connected to the hinge plate for rotation about first and second axes, respectively. The hinge plate can include an internally threaded aperture. The hinge can also include a force application assembly and an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly can include an externally threaded lead screw engaged with the internally threaded aperture, and having a medial end connected to the force application assembly and a keyed bore. The adjustment assembly can include a drive key having a keyed shaft slidingly engaged with the keyed bore and a knob connected to the drive key such that rotation of the knob causes displacement of the force application assembly.

A hinge for a microelectromechanical system includes a fixed part and a part movable relative to the fixed part along at least an out-of-plane direction, the hinge being intended to suspend the moving part from the fixed part. The hinge includes a first rigid part, a second part fixed to the first part at one end and intended to be anchored to the fixed part or the moving part. The second part deforms in bending in a first direction, two third parts are fixed to the first part and are anchored to the moving part or the fixed part, and the third parts deform in bending along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a connection device. The first body has a first surface. A first display device is placed at the first surface. The second body has a second surface, and a second display device is placed at the second surface. The connection device configured to rotatably connect the first body and the second body. The electronic device has a first position. At the first position, the first surface and the second surface face a same direction, and the connection device is under a display surface formed by the first surface and the second surface and not exposed at the display surface.

A hood back portion moving mechanism is supported with a hinge on a side of a vehicle body such that a back end portion of a hood provided at a front portion of a vehicle body is able to be opened and closed, and the hood is lifted up by an actuator. A back end portion of a pop-up link is rotatably coupled to an upper hinge included in the hinge, the hood is rotatably coupled to a front end portion of the pop-up link, and the actuator is bridged over the upper hinge and the hood.

An arm cap friction hinge mechanism may include a center link; a first top link, a top friction hinge link, a second top link, and a top pin link coupled to the center link; an upper hinge mount coupled to an arm cap, to the first top link, and to the top friction hinge link via a first friction hinge; an upper pin mount coupled to the arm cap of the aircraft seat, to the second top link, and to the top pin link. The center link may be coupled to at least one hinge mount via at least a second friction hinge. The arm cap may be configured to actuate between a closed position and a first open position around the first friction hinge, and between the first open position and a second open position about an axis through the at least a second friction hinge.

The arm cap may be configured to actuate between a closed position and a first open position around the first friction hinge, and between the first open position and a second open position about an axis through the at least a second friction hinge.

An articulating prop to prop panels in an open position is disclosed. In one embodiment, the prop includes a protrusion that rests in a groove to lock members of the articulating prop in position. An external force causes the articulating prop members to rotate into a locked position. In another embodiment, an additional latch is disclosed which further locks the articulating prop in a locked position. An external force causes the articulating prop member to rotate out of a locked position. Shapes and interfaces of handles of the articulating prop are disclosed. Openings and pivotal axes of members of the articulating prop are also disclosed herein.
