A domestic refrigeration appliance having a housing in which a cooling compartment is provided, and is closable by a first door which is movably arranged on the housing. The appliance further having a dispensing unit having an output unit and an ice maker. The dispensing unit is configured for the output of liquid and/or molded ice elements and is arranged on the first door. A rear side of the first door facing toward the cooling compartment has a receptacle protruding toward the cooling compartment, in which receptacle the dispensing unit is arranged. The first door is pivotably arranged with at least one multiple-joint hinge on the housing. The multiple-joint hinge has a mechanism with which, during the pivoting movement of the first door, the first door is also displaced in the width direction.

A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier.

Particular embodiments may provide a vehicle window assembly that includes a window pane, a latch, and a mount. The window pane is, in some embodiments, moveable to a closed position, a vented position, and an open position. The latch is, in some embodiments, coupled to a first edge of the window pane. In some embodiments, the mount is rotatably coupled to a second edge of the window pane. The mount and window pane are, in some embodiments, relatively rotatable by at least 45 degrees. In the open position, the mount and the window pane are relatively rotatable to a first angle of at least 45 degrees; in the vented position, the latch is configured to hold the window at a second angle less than 45 degrees; and in the closed position, the latch is configured to hold the window pane against a window seal.

A system for use with an autonomous working machine such as a robotic lawn mower. The system may allow communication (directly or indirectly) between the machine and a gate or other barrier opening to allow unattended or remotely-controlled passage of the machine through the gate. In some embodiments, the mower may include a vision system operable to detect unknown objects within an area adjacent to the gate.

An apparatus for disposing of trash, including garbage and recyclables, through a pair of adjacent trash removal windows separated by a spacer into separate outdoor trash containers without having to leave a building. Each of the pair of trash removal windows are independently raised respective one of the trash containers simultaneously with the lid of a trash container so a user can dispose of trash through the opened window into the trash container. When the window is closed the lid of the trash container is closed at the same time.

A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier.

The invention disclosure relates to a control system for a motor-displaceable cargo compartment device of a motor vehicle, wherein the cargo compartment device comprises a motor-displaceable closure element, wherein an operator occurrence sensor is provided, wherein a control arrangement monitors the operator occurrence sensor to determine whether a predetermined operator occurrence exists and, upon detection of such a predetermined operator occurrence, displaces the cargo compartment device with the aid of a motor, wherein the control arrangement displaces the closure element in the opening direction with the aid of a motor upon detection of a primary operator occurrence via the operator occurrence sensor. Further the cargo compartment device comprises at least one motor-displaceable cargo compartment component and the control arrangement displaces at least one such cargo compartment component with the aid of a motor upon detection, via the operator occurrence sensor, of a secondary operator occurrence following the primary operator occurrence.

A vehicle includes a slope device configured to perform deployment and storage of a slope, a camera, and a door and slope control device configured to communicate with a server including a getting-on reservation database including attribute information of a passenger, and perform deployment and storage of the slope by the slope device, in which the door and slope control device is configured to, when the vehicle is stopped to allow the passenger to get on the vehicle, confirm the attribute information of the passenger acquired from the getting-on reservation database of the server based on an image of the passenger captured by the camera, and perform deployment of the slope depending on the confirmed attribute information.

A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier. The mounting bracket may include a first mounting surface disposed at a non-perpendicular angle relative to an exterior surface of carrier when the window balance assembly is in an uninstalled configuration. The first mounting surface may be substantially parallel to the exterior surface of the carrier when the window balance assembly is in an installed configuration and the mounting bracket is disengaged from the carrier.
