An elongated transmission member (19) extends along the first side (7) of the opening (2) and the first frame section (4). The drive unit (10) further comprises a driven transmission member (18) in driving connection with the motor (11). The method comprises the steps of: detecting door movement; determining if detected door movement relates to unexpected door movement; and, if so, taking action so as to prevent more extensive damages. The disclosure further relates to an overhead door operator system for opening and closing an opening.

A power latch and presenter assembly for latching and releasing a closure panel and for moving the closure panel from a closed position to a presented position includes a ratchet moveable between a striker capture position and a striker release position. A pawl is configured for movement between a ratchet holding position, whereat the pawl maintains the ratchet in the striker capture position and a ratchet releasing position. A power release actuator is configured to move the pawl from the ratchet holding position to the ratchet releasing position and to move a presenter arm between a non-deployed position, whereat the presenter arm is spaced from the striker, to a deployed position, whereat the presenter arm engages the striker to move the closure panel from the closed position to the presented position. A power presenter actuator is configured to move the presenter arm from the non-deployed position to the deployed position.

A speed of an opening-closing action of a back door, for example, is changed from an acceleration area to a deceleration area by way of a constant-speed area, and an opening-closing action of the back door is configured to come to an end in the deceleration area. In the deceleration area, deceleration (a second deceleration in FIG. 3, a fourth deceleration in FIG. 4) of an opening-closing action of the back door at a point before the opening-closing action of the back door comes to the end is set to be smaller than another deceleration (a first deceleration in FIG. 3, a third deceleration in FIG. 4) of the opening-closing action of the back door at a deceleration start point of the opening-closing action of the back door.

A swing door operator system is described, the system including a first swing door operator, a second swing door operator, and at least one door leaf hinged connected at an opening in the wall. The first swing door operator is connected to a first side of the door leaf, the second swing door operator is connected to a second side of the door leaf, the first side of the door leaf is opposite to the second side of the door leaf, and the first swing door operator and the second swing door operator interact to move the door leaf between an open and closed position.

A capacitance sensor includes a switch control unit that performs a first switching process that turns on a first switch and then repeatedly performs a second switching process that complementarily switches off and on second and third switches that are respectively connected to second and third capacitors; an obtaining unit that calculates, as a sensor output value, a number of times the second switching process is repeated until a magnitude relationship reverses between an intermediate potential and a reference potential; a calculation unit that calculates a sensor output corrected value obtained by correcting the sensor output value such that a resolution becomes uniform; and a determination unit that determines whether a detection target exists from a magnitude relationship between a sensor output difference value and a determination threshold value.

The invention relates to a control device for controlling an externally-powered window lifter with anti-trap protection for a motor vehicle window. A control device of this type is designed to determine that an operating element for closing the window is actuated and, in response thereto, the window is moved in the closing direction. The control device is further designed to determine that the functional activity of the anti-trap protection is no longer guaranteed. In the case of a control device and in the event that it has been determined that the functional activity of the anti-trap protection is not guaranteed, the window lifter is actuated in response to the actuation of the operating element in such a way that the window is moved at a lower displacement speed in the closing direction when compared with the displacement speed with guaranteed functionality. In the case of an alternative control device and in the event that it has been determined that the functional activity of the anti-trap protection is not guaranteed, the window lifter is actuated in response to the actuation of the operating element with a predetermined actuation sequence of the window lifters in such a way that the window is displaced in the closing direction starting from the idle state.

A vehicle control unit kit is a plug-n-play OEM harness configured to interface with a given vehicle's OEM window switch connector. The device is configured to enable the given vehicle's power window master switch driver to operate all vehicle windows. The vehicle control unit additionally incorporates smart avoid anti-pinching programming.

A method for operating a boarding system for a vehicle includes reading in an inclination signal. The inclination signal represents an inclination of the boarding system relative to a reference. The method also includes reading in at least one movement process of at least one boarding element of the boarding system representing process signals and includes determining an operating signal for operating the boarding system using the inclination signal and the at least one process signal.

A package delivery system includes a door access panel that is moveable between an open position and a closed position, and a frame configured to be carried by a door adjacent a passageway and configured to movably mount the door access panel. The system includes an actuator, a motor, and a controller to control selective actuation of the door access panel. The system also includes a wireless communication interface to communicatively couple the controller and a smart device for receiving a remote input to actuate the door access panel between the closed and opened positions. The system further includes a user interface configured to receive local input for actuation of the door access panel. A sensing unit is also included and has a position sensor to generate position signals to the controller. A scanning unit is coupled to the controller to scan packages delivered through the passageway.

A door drive for arrangement on or in connection with a door system, wherein at least one leaf element of the door system is movable, including a motor unit with a housing, in which a stator is stationarily received, and wherein a rotor is arranged so as to be rotationally-movable in the housing and includes an output shaft, wherein the output shaft can be brought into operative connection in a driving manner with the leaf element. The motor unit has the basic shape of a cuboid, which is formed at least by two housing halves connected to each other.
